		<title>This whole blogging thing&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It should be no surprise by now that I don&#8217;t blog much anymore (did I ever?). The cause of this is a mixture of things &#8211; a growing personal life, which now includes a husband and a dog, as well as a job at Apple, which keeps me busy and also quite quiet, as I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Gizmodo is Guilty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The iPhone 4G scandal has been pretty hard to avoid. First, the actual uncovering of the device broke some serious headlines, then the outing of the poor employee who lost it, then it&#8217;s formal return request from Apple&#8230; the whole saga has been rolling out in front of the blogosphere in full view, including the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your Work is Bigger than Yourself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week marked a monumental event for Ruby programmers. The enigma which was _why, the hacker/artist who was instrumental in shaping the Ruby community, simply vanished without a trace. All of his websites were removed, his social media accounts cancelled, and he left without so much as a goodbye note to the community he so [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Make Enemies and Intimidate Customers, a vBulletin Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being a hosting reseller has been a pretty uneventful experience so far. I&#8217;ve been dabbling in the field since my college days, nothing ever too serious, but I do offer some of my MediaTemple DV space to a small number of clients to help offset the cost of dedicated server ownership.
However, yesterday marked a milestone [...]]]></description>

		<title>You are not your IP address</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The move to Mexico has opened my eyes to a whole new world. And I don&#8217;t mean because I&#8217;m in another country (although that&#8217;s also true, Puerto Vallarta is a stark contrast to NYC in just about every way possible). What I&#8217;m talking about is how the Internet treats people in different locations.
It&#8217;s no secret [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skittles: A lesson in fail.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a few days now since the relaunch of the Skittles.com website, and it&#8217;s been getting a huge amount of buzz for it&#8217;s groundbreaking use of social media in an official setting.
The only problem is, they&#8217;re doing it wrong, and they made a damn mess of it.
When I first heard the concept, I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Five goals for an exciting year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With my recent announcement that I&#8217;ll soon be leaving Zenbe and the comforts of New York City for a dream job with Apple (and warmer climates), I kick off what I know will be a truly exciting year.
In celebration of this, and in light of many others&#8217; posts about their new year&#8217;s goals, I present [...]]]></description>

		<title>A dose of reality with Slickspeed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a fan of the Slickspeed Selectors test for a while &#8211; in all honesty it&#8217;s probably the coolest thing Mootools has released (and this isn&#8217;t a knock on their js framework). The Slickspeed selectors test does everything right &#8211; easy, friendly open-source code which is stupid easy to customize. The tests are extremely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Please back off the startups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is going to be a bit of a rant, so bear with me and feel free to bitch me out in the comments, but I&#8217;ve been getting really annoyed with people&#8217;s attitudes towards startups. In general, people seem to have short tempers with performance issues with startups &#8211; whenever an app goes down [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Case for Canvas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who follows me on Twitter is probably aware that for the last few months, I&#8217;ve been getting my feet wet with Canvas drawing.
For those who aren&#8217;t familiar, Canvas is an HTML5 element which enables you to do script-based drawing, specifically Javascript. While not natively supported by the IE&#8217;s, the wonderful Explorer Canvas script works [...]]]></description>
