		<title>Give your birthday to charity: water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a big milestone year for me… Threadless turns 10 and on August 19th, I&#8217;ll be turning 30.  There goes my 20&#8242;s!  I couldn&#8217;t think of a better way to end the decade than to raise some funds for a great cause &#8211; building wells for the billion people on earth who don&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sometimes I wonder&#8230;</title>

		<title>A joy in every possibility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This song means a lot to me. Character flaw: I don&#8217;t listen to a ton of music.  I have a few favorite bands and listen to them over and over again.  Luckily my wife is way into music and introduces me to new stuff a lot&#8230; and controls our mix during parties :)  But Against [...]]]></description>

		<title>The two faces of crowdsourcing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I first learned about crowdsourcing in about 2004. This was four years after starting Threadless which has become kind of the poster child of crowdsourcing. As I learn more and more about what the word means and now see it getting a bad name from some people as spec work or cheap labor and such [...]]]></description>

		<title>Around the Internets so far in 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What up everyone &#8230; just wanted to share a few links to some things I&#8217;ve been up to lately. We just announced a huge partnership with Society6. Right now we are working with artists to build up content for the new Threadless Artist Shoppe that will be dropping early next week. So stoked for this [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.&#8221; &#8211; Mark Twain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently saw someone post this Mark Twain quote on Twitter and it sums up nicely some changes that we&#8217;ve been making around Threadless land. We&#8217;re working in short intervals on small chunks of things really quickly&#8230; like a few days or a couple weeks max. After each chunk, we hope to be able to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disaster turns adventure in Vail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday I went snowboarding in Vail, only my 2nd day of the year. On our first run, we went a &#8216;special&#8217; way where there is no lift access and ended up in Minturn, CO &#8211; 8 miles away from the resort. We had to hitchhike back! Luckily we still got a few more runs [...]]]></description>

		<title>A recent email exchange</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently sent the following email and I thought I&#8217;d share my response&#8230; I&#8217;m mostly just amazed that you were able to start a company for $1000. My future partner and I seem to be spinning our wheels, continually changing our business model and general idea for what we want to create. I think [...]]]></description>

		<title>I kinda miss forums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before Facebook and Twitter and Blogs and all that, forums were much more prevalent. Cool stuff happened on forums. In my experience, it was less about socializing and more about collaborating on projects. In a way, forums helped me &#8216;find myself&#8217; &#8211; that is, what I love to do. I learned so much by participating [...]]]></description>
