		<title>Insomnia and Endings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My free time, of late, has been spent absorbed in books. Most have centered around Stephen King&#8217;s epic Dark Tower Series. There&#8217;s something very essential and brave about a storyteller who&#8217;s willing to go &#8220;all-in&#8221; with his work and put it out into the world, for better or worse. It&#8217;s this feeling that each page [...]]]></description>

For this new batch (to be released on Monday, August 2nd), however, the Community have agreed upon a game-changing Sports theme! Work within the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ebert admits defeat in the &#8220;Games vs. Art&#8221; debate!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Roger Ebert, an industry-respected film critic, has shocked the gaming community for the second time in 2010; He&#8217;s cried &#8220;uncle.&#8221; In a surprising turn of events, Ebert posted a brand new blog entry stating that his position on video games was one of ignorance and bullheadedness. I should not have written that entry without being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recorded a new song in the &#8216;Cover&#8217; series, in the form of &#8220;In The Air Tonight&#8221; by Phil Collins! I discovered how easy this song was to figure out during an improv at a live show. As is the case with many of my covers, it started off as a joke to get keep [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Song Sketchbook Entry #4 &#124; The First Dance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This passed weekend, I had a chance to record the first bit of an idea that had been playing, on repeat, in my mind for nearly 2 weeks. The song, tentatively titled &#8220;The First Dance,&#8221; is about a child&#8217;s first contact with another being that sends sparks their way. It&#8217;s not meant to be gender [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ebert Says Games Aren&#8217;t Art &#8211; I Disagree</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Chicago-based critic Roger Ebert has revived his now-infamous claim regarding the state of video games in our artistic landscape. As a gamer who also values Ebert&#8217;s critical opinion, I feel the need to respond. After reading Roger&#8217;s most recent support for his claims, I went back to have a look at a post from [...]]]></description>
