		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s easy to fall into the trap of feeling special. From our own perspective we seem so original and in many respects we are unique. Western society rightly encourages us to celebrate the things that make us special. Individuality is virtuous. In reality, we&#8217;re much more similar than we are different. The great ideas we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[jqXHR and the Promise Interface jQuery 1.5 features a brand new mechanism for dealing with asynchronous event-driven processing. This system, called deferreds, was first implemented for jQuery&#8217;s $.ajax method and so we&#8217;ll be looking closely at that method. $.ajax({ url: "/some/url", success: function(r){ alert("Success: " + r); }, error: function(r){ alert('Error: ' + r); } [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Update Feb 15:
You've gone and made it even worse by adding e-commerce experience as yet another requirement. Have you had anyone apply who's not still in high school? This is still only $2.00 over minimum wage. I can't even get a guy to come lay tile in my bathroom for that price. Now you're just asking for it, I'm putting up a link to <a href="http://fresno.craigslist.org/web/1601957999.html">this shameful job posting.</a>
<hr />

I might make this a regular feature because I think pointing out some of these bad job listings in a humorous way may help some businesses figure out how to attract great web developers and designers. I'm hoping this will be both funny and educational. This is an example from Fresno's craigslist. I'm going to copy it here stripping out most of the identifying information to protect the guilty.
