		<title>Schmancy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sent a rail set as a kit to a guy on the east coast who wanted to make his own top planks recently and they turned out gorgeous!
And made his own bag too.

Nice job Jim!

		<title>Grainy Photographic Evidence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New phone means I can take even crappier pictures!  But at least I can take horrible shots of cool stuff.  First off, I&#8217;ve been putting in quite a bit of time in the machine shop at school so I get 10 points for the first pic, which is the pile of shavings that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Woodies!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally got the wood top plates the way I like them, and excuse me while I congratulate myself in saying they look hott.  The first runs will be birch, but I do plan on finding some other woods including bamboo and okume pretty soon.  Ruckus has to get through their first run of [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been working a lot on some new projects this summer and they are very close to fruition. I don&#8217;t want to promise more than I have until I gots the goods but I will say that I&#8217;m millimeters away (literally and figuratively) from offering things that folks have been asking for since I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now with 100% more Rando</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I guess Gideon is my official test pilot now. He got the first Pret a Porteur (which he punishes daily at a print shop messenger job) and recently asked for a randonneur rack for a 400 mile three day he&#8217;s planning. Requirements were a) small, b) light, c) extra water bottle cages. It was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Made in America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d been meaning to yap about this for a while and what better time than when my neighborhood is trying to burn itself down around me in celebration of its existence.

For all of our shortcomings and excesses we live in a great country, and being conscious of it and proud of it is the best [...]]]></description>

		<title>Removable rails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d been pondering the removable rail thing for a bit and finally got it to the point that I like it. It mounts to the existing hardware, so it retrofits to my existing racks and is only $40. I could make a taller, double layer version too on request that would be more of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m sponsoring a race?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So what the hell is a utility cycle company doing sponsoring a race? Well, it&#8217;s a courier race.

The West Side Invite is the west coast&#8217;s premier celebration of taking things places by bike and having a well earned pint or eight afterwords. Started by Portland messengers in 2001, this is the first time it will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Price Hike :(</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So now that I&#8217;ve made a few batches of the new design I&#8217;m realizing that I underbid myself and have to raise my price to $140 for the Pret a Porteur (TCB 3.0) model. I realize that percentage-wise this is rather drastic, and I&#8217;m really bummed because it feels like a bit of a bait [...]]]></description>
