		<title>Things I learned in Costa Rica</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
On his previous visit to Costa Rica, Josh drove two hours before realizing he and his fiance had left their passports in the safe back at their hotel.
Erik is the only TXIer with anything close to a useful grasp on the Spanish language. A bunch of us know how to say &#8220;hola&#8221;, &#8220;gracias&#8221;, and &#8220;arroz [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing Bert, the new Table XI mascot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And&#8230;. we&#8217;re back.
We had a great trip to Costa Rica on all fronts.  Tropical weather, beautiful accommodations, productive discussions, exciting excursions, and delicious meals.  We&#8217;ve got a bunch of stories and pictures to share&#8230; too much for a single summary post.
In the meantime, meet Bert, the new Table XI mascot.
Sadly, we did not see any leatherback [...]]]></description>

		<title>Samantha&#8217;s superior diadochokinetic rate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Katie Gore, John&#8217;s wife, swung by the Table XI office today.  She is getting a masters in speech pathology at Northwestern and as part of her studies needs guinea pigs on which to perform &#8220;Oral Mechanism Exams&#8221;.
Part of the exam includes measuring diadochokinetic rates.  This is a measurement of how fast one can articulate distinct [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diet Coke Explosion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I sometimes worry that the gratuitous praise I heap upon Ellen&#8217;s kitchen exploits may be perceived as inauthentic.  So in an attempt to present a balanced perspective and to add credibility to the descriptions of the incredible food she prepares for us, I offer this picture.
Alinea serves a dish called &#8220;Black Truffle Explosion&#8220;.  This is Ellen&#8217;s variation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Table XI takes a field trip&#8230; to Costa Rica</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have tried for two weeks to write this post but couldn&#8217;t figure out how to do so without gloating.  It&#8217;s hard enough to humbly write about the daily meals we have cooked in-house&#8230; but when your boss flies the entire company to Costa Rica for a week, how do you say that without sounding [...]]]></description>

		<title>If your product is great, it doesn&#8217;t have to be good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The opinions expressed in this post are the sole opinions of its author and are not representative of Table XI as a whole.
That&#8217;s because I seem to be the only one around here excited by the iPad. Most of the time (well, all of the time) when I&#8217;m in disagreement with everyone at Table XI [...]]]></description>

		<title>Table XI is saving our lives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the favorite run-in-the-background-while-you-work activities at Table XI seems to be listening to TED Talks.  If you&#8217;re not familiar, TED is a well produced lecture series of really smart people giving short 20-minute talks on interesting subjects.
If you are a returning visitor to this site then you must have at least a smidgen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remember back when websites had counters?  Its kind of like that.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 2005 Google released Analytics, a product to analyze website traffic.  Like most every other product Google offers, it&#8217;s free, better than the competition and has become the de facto standard in its class.
Through Table XI, I have access to analytics reports for a number of web properties, several of which receive hundreds-of-thousands of visits [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been snowing all day.  By tomorrow we are expected to have fourteen inches of accumulation.
Southwest Airlines canceled all Midway flights for the next 24 hours.  Over 500 flights have been cancelled at O&#8217;Hare. Public transportation is running up to half-an-hour late due to CTA cutbacks.
It&#8217;s a good day for some carbs.  A good day [...]]]></description>
