		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to believe that my first blog entry was back in 2003. Keeping my web site and blog on ice doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;ve been off of my radar; it&#8217;s a natural byproduct of making myself available to lifestyle changes. &#8230; <a href="http://www.ianspiers.com/2010/07/04/456/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s Monday morning, which means I’ve been spending quality time with my Franklin Planner. I’ve got a lot of deadlines on my calendar this week and really can’t reschedule or postpone many of the other tasks. A leading priority is &#8230; <a href="http://www.ianspiers.com/2009/05/11/illustration-editorial-photo/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Color Calibration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve spent a good portion of the last two days playing around with color calibration issues. I’m using GraytagMacbeth’s Eye-One Match, a Canon 5D, an Apple 20” Cinema Display, an Epson Perfection V500 flatbed scanner, and an Epson Stylus Pro &#8230; <a href="http://www.ianspiers.com/2009/05/08/color-calibration/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>General Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as I’d love to channel all my energy and attention to refining this web site, more important obligations are demanding my immediate attention. I have a few substantial graphic design assignments I need to continue to work on, &#8230; <a href="http://www.ianspiers.com/2009/05/07/general-update/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>ianspiers.com redesign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s been two years since my last blog post; a site overhaul is grossly overdue. I stripped the old site from the server last night and installed WordPress and migrated all of my old Movable Type blog entries into WP &#8230; <a href="http://www.ianspiers.com/2009/05/06/ianspiers-com-redesign/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Holding Patterns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A bizarre miscommunication was brought to my attention last Wednesday. Despite the fact that emails had been exchanged regarding my last day of work at my current assignment, apparently my direct report and I didn't actually have a clear and mutual understanding of the end of my contract. As a result, I'm finding my self on this job with no real end in sight. <a href="http://www.ianspiers.com/2007/04/16/holding-patterns/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yep, that's me. I found myself at work looking for some documentation on font usage for one of the pieces I'm typesetting. The language I'm scrutinizing appears in English, Spanish and French. I'm not sure what the rules are for the translations,

		<title>Housecleaning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[FedEx delivered a new 500 Gb LaCie d2 Hard Drive Extreme to me last Thursday. I've spent the better part of this afternoon organizing my new image library. The entire collection is currently weighing in at just over 200 Gb with images dating back to 2000. (And I haven't even turned my attention to the batch scans I've collected from personal and family albums yet!)

		<title>The Hard Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago, I was visiting my brother on a late Saturday morning. He was in his living room, sitting on his couch, watching a motorcycle race on TV. He made a comment about one of the racers, saying something about brakes on a motorcycle. Not being raised around the sport like my brother was, I asked him to explain.
