		<title>Day 1 &#8211; Monday: Story Topping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite Dilbert strips is one where Dilbert, Wally and some old guy were having a lunch discussion. Old Guy: When I started out we didn&#8217;t have those sissy windows and icons. All we had were zeros and ones. Wally: We didn&#8217;t have ones. I once wrote an entire program with just zeros.
