		<description><![CDATA[Last summer I wrote a post about the book A Billion Bootstraps which led to Amy and I getting involved in Microfinance. Since that time, I&#8217;ve been wrestling in my mind with how to combine some of the most successful elements of capitalism with those of non-profits in order to create charities that are self-sustaining.

		<description><![CDATA[A&#160;couple months ago I was in my local book Bookstore looking for Al Gore&#8217;s &#8220;Assault on Reason&#8221; (forthcoming review) and happened to stumble on a book called &#8220;A Billion Bootstraps&#8220;. Being new to the idea of Microcredit, and a philanthropist at heart, this&#160;one caught my eye.&#160;I have to say, this book is a great introduction [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently finished reading &#8220;Bill Snyder: They Said it Couldn&#8217;t Be Done&#8221; and thought it a noteworthy recommendation. This&#160;book is a narrative about one of the greatest turnaround stories in college football&#160;told through a&#160;personal interview with the man that made it happen. I&#160;grew-up in Manhattan,KS (home of K-State)&#160;at a time when the wildcats&#160;were consistently ranked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve seen a lot of discussion lately around the likes of Coghead and other Do-It-Yourself (DIY) coding apps. To date most of it has been the developer community dismissing the idea that anyone outside the ivory tower could possibly have the mastery skill sets required to create a software application on their own. Well guess what guys, the party&#8217;s over. So [...]]]></description>
