		<description><![CDATA[When I started uFunctional LLC back in February 2007, I bought a copy of Intuit QuickBooks. My wife set it up, thinking she would help me. We never really did much with it.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m too old for pink sunshine, so let&#8217;s just get it out there, even in front of potential clients. Not everybody likes me, or the way I go about things. When this dislike comes out, it usually contains the word &#8220;academic.&#8221; As an insult of a person, &#8220;academic&#8221; means &#8220;Very learned but inexperienced in practical [...]]]></description>

He’s still training people to be Certified ScrumMasters. But that’s not news. He&#8217;s training people in “Hard Times Detroit” to be Certified ScrumMasters at cost—$249 a pop. That’s news.
