		<title>Breaking point</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Riding out to a local playground brought us up behind this fellow&#8230; at least we think there was a fellow in there some where.  You should&#8217;ve seen how the bicycle frame bent when he went over bumps!

		<title>Word on the street</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All three of us went out shopping today.  While Dana went into a store, I sat in the car and watched the happenings around me.  Just to give you a glimpse, here&#8217;s a common street scene in Mbeya:

		<title>Meet Frank</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stupid crows are finding that our garden is in the stage of producing.  Four corn cobs have lost their lives so something had to be done.  That&#8217;s where Frank comes in.
Around midday today, I took 5 sticks, an old pair of lounge pants, long sleeve shirt and a hat and created&#8230; Frank.  I asked our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Karibu saladi</title>

		<title>I&#8217;ll be corny any day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are many great types of vegetables available here in Mbeya.  Sometimes we can even find broccoli and zucchini.  Unfortunately, neither are my favorite.  My emotions bind me to one luscious vegetable.  I&#8217;ll put it in a magnificent 4-word + 2-word equation that almost causes me to faint with over-Plavlov-ness as my saliva bursts forth [...]]]></description>

		<title>My own garage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the BIG benefits as I see it of living abroad as a missionary is discovering how resourceful you are, you need to be, and you can be.  For instance, I knew a decent amount about cars before coming to Tanzania.  But after numerous bad experiences with local car repair businesses, I decided to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is lying ok to gain access to a closed country?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is kind of a missions philosophy question/curiosity.  Maybe an example would help.
Let&#8217;s say there&#8217;s a country that doesn&#8217;t allow Christian missionaries to enter.  It may be due to another dominant religion&#8217;s hostility, government policy or a combination of reasons.  So, for someone like myself working with a mission organization, I&#8217;d have no access to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Internationally Seeker Sensitive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got a pastor friend here in TZ who recently left his rather large, electronically-well-equipped church because of a dispute.  I don&#8217;t know or understand the details of the parting, so I&#8217;m definitely not going to make a judgment of who I think is in the right or wrong.  This friend had followers leave the [...]]]></description>

Over the past year we have seen the book of Genesis published in Zinza, the Gospel of Mark published in Vwanji and Rangi, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to add your phone to Twitter so you can send updates via SMS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a Nokia 5000 and a Twitter account.  Sometimes, I like to send a tweet while on the run but for some reason recent changes un-verified my phone number here in Tanzania.  Took me about half an hour to track down how to verify it again, because the &#8216;Mobile&#8217; [formerly 'Devices'] section in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Radio Program</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beginning January 3, 2010, our language project will broadcast a weekly pre-recorded mother tongue radio program.  The Christian station with whom we have a contract has a fairly new tower which reaches up to 100km radius.  That means these radio programs can be heard in at least part of every one of the 10 languages [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great Insight into drama recordings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[http://www.scripture-engagement.org/content/advice-scripture-and-drama-recording
This is a great (very short) article with a downloadable .pdf with advice for recording drama-styled Scripture.  Even though you may not be doing this time of work, it gives you a glimpse of the kinds of things we need to consider as we go into the studio to record mother tongue materials.

		<title>Slip &#8216;n Slide</title>

I&#8217;ve had a problem in trying to change notifications in the Skype Preferences pane (I&#8217;m using OS X, by the way).  But, every time I clicked on the red flag (Notifications), Skype would freeze for up to a minute, then crash.  [...]]]></description>
