		<title>8 State Hurricane Kate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Jenny Pavlovic recently published a book entitled 8 State Hurricane Kate: The Journey and Legacy of a Katrina Cattle Dog and I wanted to put out the good word for her and her book.  I just ordered the book, so I haven&#8217;t actually read it yet, but it&#8217;s a story I know well.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danatopia.wordpress.com&blog=3948734&post=31&subd=danatopia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Poem thing (language)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Poetry consists in a rhyming dictionary and things seen.&#8221; &#8211; Gertrude Stein
It&#8217;s been a while since I actively published my work, and I&#8217;ve written only sporadically in the last year or so, but I decided to put up a page on this blog linking to my poems.  It will also feature some newer poems, including [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danatopia.wordpress.com&blog=3948734&post=28&subd=danatopia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Unplugged &#8211; the Danatopia story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My husband, daughter, stepson and I came back last night from an eight-day trip to California.  We spent some time in L.A. with my father, drove up to Monterey and back (detouring around the wildfires in Big Sur,) visited friends of mine in Orange County and spent the day at Legoland in Carlsbad.
I decided from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danatopia.wordpress.com&blog=3948734&post=23&subd=danatopia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Driving to work one morning&#8230;in India</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just for fun, I&#8217;ll let you all hitch a ride for a few minutes in the little white Indica shuttle cab I took back and forth to work every day when I was in Hyderabad.  Believe it or not, this was a very tame ride in comparison to most days. 
My husband loved watching it.  He [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danatopia.wordpress.com&blog=3948734&post=21&subd=danatopia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s all about making connections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, my colleagues and I hired a driver named Mohammed to take us to do a bit of shopping and out to Angeethi, a restaurant specializing in tasty Punjabi food in Banjara Hills, which is on the other side of Hyderabad from where we are staying.  Mohammed has been a driver for the firm for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danatopia.wordpress.com&blog=3948734&post=20&subd=danatopia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Jai Ma and not Ma Bell, or, learning to Skype from India</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Namaste from India! I&#8217;m a little bit behind on my blog posts but I have been keeping my tweets relatively up to date. 
You can say &#8220;efficient&#8221; and &#8220;airport&#8221; in the same sentence
I arrived in Hyderabad around 11p.m. Friday night.  This is my fifth trip here (which frankly, amazes me.)  For years, I&#8217;ve been flying into the rickety and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danatopia.wordpress.com&blog=3948734&post=19&subd=danatopia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s roundup, including Flickr feedback</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I deployed a new intranet portal this morning.  This was my first time taking a portal from concept to production and although I&#8217;m happy that it went successfully, deployments always leave me feeling somewhat anticlimatic once the site goes live.  No time to rest on my laurels &#8211; there&#8217;s at least one more percolating as I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danatopia.wordpress.com&blog=3948734&post=14&subd=danatopia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s quote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;is from Jeffrey Eugenides&#8217;s novel, Middlesex:
&#8220;Emotions, in my experience, aren&#8217;t covered by single words.  I don&#8217;t believe in &#8220;sadness,&#8221; &#8220;joy,&#8221; or &#8220;regret.&#8221;  Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling.  I&#8217;d like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions like, say, &#8220;the happiness that attends [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danatopia.wordpress.com&blog=3948734&post=13&subd=danatopia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My Web 2.0 mantra: ease of use, ease of use</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I followed Chris Brogan&#8217;s advice  on personal branding tactics and set myself up a profile on Technorati to build my ego searches for my blogs. 
Maybe I should not have picked the day I&#8217;m scheduled to deploy a new portal to embark on any new social media activities, but I was intrigued by Chris&#8217;s list and wanted [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danatopia.wordpress.com&blog=3948734&post=12&subd=danatopia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Another twist on &#8220;equally-shared parenting&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Patti Ghezzi, an education reporter and one of the women on my local mom&#8217;s group lists, sent a link to a really great story in Sunday&#8217;s Atlanta Journal-Constitution about Clifton Green, a father and Emory University professor, who washes, twists and braids his adopted daughter Miriam&#8217;s hair.  Miriam is from Africa, and he and his [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danatopia.wordpress.com&blog=3948734&post=11&subd=danatopia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
