 <title>About Me</title>
 <link>http://ben-trussell.com/about</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello and welcome.  This site is about me.  I don&#039;t presume that the world particularly &lt;em&gt;wants&lt;/em&gt; to read all about me, but if someone does, well here&#039;s my place on the web. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I live in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_metropolitan_area&quot;&gt;Phoenix metropolitan area&lt;/a&gt; in beautiful Arizona.  Yes, &lt;em&gt;the weather is hot&lt;/em&gt;.  I work at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.asu.edu&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Arizona State University&quot;&gt;ASU&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; where I am a server systems administrator for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://herbergercollege.asu.edu/&quot;&gt;Herberger College of the Arts&lt;/a&gt;.  I am chair of the &lt;acronym title=&quot;Unix Networking Users Group&quot;&gt;UNUG&lt;/acronym&gt;, and also help out with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://asulug.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Phoenix Linux User Group&quot;&gt;PLUG&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://asulug.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Arizona State University Linux User Group&quot;&gt;ASULUG&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. I &lt;em&gt;lurk around&lt;/em&gt; mailing lists of various user groups in the Phoenix Metro such as the &lt;a href=&quot;http://phoenix.pm.org&quot;&gt;Phoenix.pm &lt;acronym title=&quot;Practical Extraction and Report Language&quot;&gt;Perl&lt;/acronym&gt; user group&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://azphp.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Arizona PHP Hypertext Preprocessor - recursive acronym - user group&quot;&gt;AZ PHP&lt;/acronym&gt; user group&lt;/a&gt;.  If you want to learn more about these topics, by all means get out to meetings near you (each user group&#039;s website has info on meeting times and places, or join the mailing lists; they always announce upcoming events).  &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Valkyrie vs. Deer -  and the winner is? ...</title>
 <link>http://ben-trussell.com/bikesvsnature/1and0</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;This is not a link to follow for those who can&#039;t handle the sight of blood.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW a Valkyrie is a motorcycle... Hence the warning above - although it&#039;s not quite like what you&#039;re probably expecting... &lt;/p&gt;
