		<title>In Which I Discuss The Conversations with Two Designer Friends About The Economy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been in a bit of a funk lately. Maybe it&#8217;s the rain &#8211; maybe, whatever &#8211; of course it is. But more so I think it&#8217;s got a lot to do with the economy. I&#8217;ve had several conversations with friends this week. Mini-therapy phone sessions as I call them, and although it&#8217;s good to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=designdrama.wordpress.com&blog=3154799&post=394&subd=designdrama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Designing a Garden &#8211; If I Can Do This, So Can You!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ve discussed my whole other life as a frustrated gardener here before, and I don&#8217;t have the patience to sit and dig around for past discussions. The long and short of it, history wise, is a bit of that whole &#8220;I&#8217;m turning into my grandparents/parents&#8221; thing. When I was a kid, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=designdrama.wordpress.com&blog=3154799&post=386&subd=designdrama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>MacGuyvering Seedlings &#8211; Designing a Cheap Solution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you know me, you&#8217;re aware of what a tree-hugger I can be. I can&#8217;t stand the thought of throwing anything in the trash. I&#8217;m also frugal. 
I&#8217;m also a frustrated gardener. Oh, and I like to MacGuyver things. 
This year, I decided to try growing tomatoes from seed. I&#8217;ve never done it before and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=designdrama.wordpress.com&blog=3154799&post=361&subd=designdrama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I don&#8217;t know if I can properly put down my words on the epiphany I had regarding all of this, but I&#8217;m going to try.
For what&#8217;s been rattling around in my brain I&#8217;ll [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=designdrama.wordpress.com&blog=3154799&post=352&subd=designdrama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

My friend is experiencing a transition from a full time gig into freelance web design work and is doing very well for himself.

		<title>Obama &#8211; Branding a Presidential Campaign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For this inauguration day, I was going to write a post regarding the branding of Barak Obama. I can&#8217;t ever recall a more cohesive look and feel of a presidential campaign. 
Kudos go out to the design firm, Sender, LLC &#8212; they really knocked it out of the park. 
Anyway, back to the post I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=designdrama.wordpress.com&blog=3154799&post=342&subd=designdrama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Archiving your work &#8211; the Old Skool Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of my friends know that I can be a bit of a pack-rat. It&#8217;s a trait I got from my family &#8211; so I got it honest.
