		<title>More Minnesota than You Can Handle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If innovation&#8217;s got you down and you don&#8217;t care to figure out what Twitter is, head to the MN State Fair, where the only thing that changes is which new food item has been engineered to be supplied on a stick.  Barns full of animals, award-winning giant pumpkins, mini-donuts, all-you-can-drink milk, seed art- 1.7 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. -Hunter S. Thompson
Today I was shopping in Macy&#8217;s downtown with my sister and noticed a 6 (or was it a 9?) on the ground.  A few minutes later there was a green R stuck to a rug near a Starbucks.  I got home and found an [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been back in the Us for over 3 weeks now and Minnesota for 2, so I feel lucky that I got a chance to see the Twins play (and win!) on June 30.  Checking out the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Piles of Pets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One great thing I&#8217;ve seen a lot this spring in Beijing is people selling pets on the sidewalk.  First, I saw tiny rabbits being sold outside of McDonalds.  Then I saw more tiny rabbits being sold on a bar street in Sanlitun on a Friday night.  Then one day I&#8217;m heading into [...]]]></description>

		<title>People Mountain People Sea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent a weekend in Qingdao recently with some great friends.  Here&#8217;s a video of the non-brewery part of the vacation, which still involved drinking a lot of Tsingtao.  Stray cats, amazing seafood, fresh beer, great city views, cool European-inspired architecture, hilly streets with hidden staircases- I highly recommend the city if you ever get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doing It Our Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He was a wise man who invented beer. -Plato
I couldn&#8217;t find the Laverne and Shirley theme song for my brewery tour video, so I went in a totally different direction (Minneapolis hip-hop, WARNING: some explicit lyrics).  The Tsingtao Brewery in Qingdao, China, was started by the Germans, run for a while by the Japanese, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy -Lao Tzu, founder of Taoism
China is full of all sorts of delicious local treats which are lots of fun to try.  Of course, Western food is always available at a hefty price (we had $10 burgers last night that were absolutely mediocre), but it is more affordable and [...]]]></description>
