			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am Lou Springer. I am an IT Architect working for Sun Microsystems. My interests include photography, fishing, camping, computer gaming, travel and cooking.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m becoming crusty and cantankerous, but I&#8217;m not quite there yet. You are welcome to your own opinion about this. I could care less.</p>
<p>While choosing a name for this blog, I did a search to see if the term &#8220;Inchoate Curmudgeon&#8221; had been previously used. I didn&#8217;t want to choose a blog name already in use. I only found one other use of this term in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.brown.edu/Students/INDY/cms/content/view/119/73/">the March 9th Online Edition of the College Hill Independent</a>.</p>
<p>The term was in a review characterizing <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_Dilla">J Dilla</a> regarding a song in his last album before his death, <em>Donuts</em>:</p>
<blockquote><p>An inchoate curmudgeonâ€™s diatribe is turned into a conclusive denouncement of everything that is &#8220;too much, too soon.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I guess I&#8217;ll have to buy the album now. It&#8217;s on <a target="_blank" href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=108233171&#038;s=143441">iTunes</a>, and an inchoate curmudgeon of a rapper sounds good to me.
