		<description><![CDATA[I got the Google/Verizon Droid yesterday on launch day and here&#8217;s my review. It&#8217;s clearly not adding anything to the dozens of other review posted, but I hope it helps my friends decide if it&#8217;s worth a bunch of money and a 2-year commitment. Also, I haven&#8217;t heard anyone make the very obvious Star Wars [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=activationenergy.wordpress.com&blog=5084430&post=86&subd=activationenergy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Of course, this was when the Detroit [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=activationenergy.wordpress.com&blog=5084430&post=72&subd=activationenergy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about networking, largely because I&#8217;m trying to get to know more folks in a new industry and in a new geography.

The analogy has been made a bunch of times, notably by the New York Times in November. The analogy goes something like this: The steel industry is another heavy capital-intensive business with little room for change and only once they faced [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=activationenergy.wordpress.com&blog=5084430&post=63&subd=activationenergy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So much like my feelings about Kanye West, I can&#8217;t stand The Sports Guy personally largely as an extension of my hatred for Boston sports generally and his inability to contain how cool he thinks he is. However, his writing is solid and occasionally writes something I enjoy as seen in this week&#8217;s column.
