		<title>Identity crisis: I&#8217;m not a marketer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, in full disclosure, the title of this blog post is misleading. If you know me, you know I protest vigorously any time someone calls me a marketer. Hell, I did it during my yearly review. If you really know me you know that the reason I protest goes much, much deeper than the age-old techies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beer: the essential ingredient for successful community building</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if it was Bitnorth, spending the last couple of nights communing in Barcelona with other members of the internal Dell Storage community, or the tweets coming from my friend Ed Saipetch at Monktoberfest, but I have finally decided to write this post.
