		<description><![CDATA[John was your typical 20-something architect when he was laid off from two different firms in the space of a year. Instead of digging around for another job, he redirected his loneliness and frustration into doing something tangible. He followed his desire to be around people and built a booth to wheel into the Ballard Farmers Market in Seattle. The sign above his head reads simply, "Architecture 5 cents."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently watched the Academy Award-nominated documentary, <em>Food Inc.</em> To be honest, I was hesitant about watching it. I already know more than I'd like about the sorry state of our food supply. Another film putting images in my head of slaughterhouses and <em>e-coli</em> poisoning was not going to make me any happier.  And, after all, being happier is something I strive to be.]]></description>
