		<title>Chilled to the Bone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was 19, my dad took a sabbatical to the United Kingdom — he was a math professor and did collaborative research at a university in Leeds, England.

		<title>Abolish the IRS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past 16 years I&#8217;ve been the accountant for our engineering company.

		<title>Safety Glass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we built our first home, there were a number of windows that had to be made of tempered glass or safety glass. Due to their location, regular window glass wouldn&#8217;t be strong enough to provide the needed safety. For example, our second story balcony walkway ran right next to an enormous glass window.

From my first, fledgling website — that comprised a catalog of educational items I offered to homeschoolers and other parent — to my latest venture — a blogging network focusing on making money with blogs — the internet provides a world of monetizing opportunities.
