		<title>Google Chrome Extension Recommendations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Google opened up its Chrome Extension Gallery for use with the Google Chrome Browser. The beta channel and dev channel versions of Chrome have had extension support for a while, but with the opening of Google&#8217;s official gallery, many new extensions have been made public. In my opinion, extensions are the main thing Chrome has been missing in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, it&#8217;s been almost 11 months! Far too long to leave this website dormant! To be fair, it&#8217;s been an eventful year for me, though that won&#8217;t be discussed here at this time. I plan to get this thing back up an running over the next month and I&#8217;ve already started with a new theme [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zork Guides Website Updates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About 7 months ago, I posted a new website related to running Zork games on modern operating systems. Over these last 7 months, I&#8217;ve been compiling feedback to the guides and working on making the website a better tool for users. The first of those changes are complete and there&#8217;s more to come.
One promising lead [...]]]></description>

		<title>eBaying again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I have moved into the new house, I&#8217;ve been organizing things and finding old stuff that I&#8217;ll never use again. What good is that stuff for? Selling on eBay! Today I&#8217;ll add things to the eBay page as I find things to get rid of. Hopefully tomorrow I&#8217;ll start the first auctions based [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer Cleaning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you can see, I made some changes to the website. I was starting to get tired of my theme, so I found a new one. It&#8217;s not made by me, but I like it enough to use it anyway. It&#8217;s called PhoenixBlue. I just made some small modifications to add support for the Quoter [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running Zork Games on XP, Vista, Linux, &amp; Mac OS X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in 2004, I wrote a guide for getting the game Zork Grand Inquisitor running on Windows XP. The game didn&#8217;t work well without the guide because it was originally designed for Windows 98. I&#8217;ve been a fan of the Zork series for almost 10 years now. After receiving a message from another Zork fan [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Curious Case of the Wii</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After 19 months, the Wii is still hard to find. I&#8217;m not aware of any stores nearby that have stock for long after getting a shipment. There is economics at work here, plus the allure of a popular, hard to get item, but there&#8217;s more to it. Nintendo is making tons of Wiis. With worldwide [...]]]></description>

		<title>The History of Computing Flourishes in the YouTube Era</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love YouTube and Google Video. Sure there&#8217;s genius parodies of music videos, but there&#8217;s important stuff too. 
Like a pivotal event in computing history, the demo of the first GUI by Doug Engelbart in 1968 &#8230;



&#8230;and a retrospective of the origins of the little operating system that could by Linus Torvalds in 2001.

		<title>Functional Programming from Microsoft?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ars Technica reports that Microsoft will be bringing a functional programming lanaguage to Visual Studio, called F#. The language is a functional langugage that is based on OCaml and will of course link in with .Net.
I find this very interesting. Learning different programming paradigms (like procedural, object-oriented, functional, structured, logic and so on) is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ubuntu 7.10 Post-Install Guide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know, Ubuntu 7.10 was released last week. I wrote up a little guide for Jonathan on some things I recommend setting up post-install and he thought I should post it here. If you’re unfamiliar with Ubuntu, read this review of the operating system. So here’s the guide, modified slightly:

		<title>Bad in Plaid</title>

I&#8217;d heard rumblings of this around the net for the last year but figured it was too good to be true. Fortunately, their new website tells all. They&#8217;re kicking it off with a five day tour at the end [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halo 3: Battle of Serenity Valley</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love Firefly. Today I learned that Bungie does too. I was playing some Halo this evening and heard a yell that sounded so familiar. One of the marines fighting along side me screamed &#8220;Here&#8217;s Vera!&#8221; as he went into gun down some Covenant Brutes. This was just excellent in my mind. Bungie included a [...]]]></description>

		<title>So Many Games!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally got a chance to get a few rounds of Halo 3 in tonight. Was it everything I hoped? Yeah, definitely. There&#8217;s so much in it, it&#8217;s unbelievable. Bungie&#8217;s website for stats tracking goes beyond obsessive. Forge and Theater allow for players to train themselves to incredible levels. Mostly, I can&#8217;t wait to go [...]]]></description>

Yeah it&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve posted something. I&#8217;ve considered posting here for a while and for some reason an article I saw on Boing Boing compelled me to do so.
The article is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seamless Virtualization (or, the new &#8220;Coherence Mode&#8221;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a while now, despite the fact that I&#8217;m not a fan of Mac OS X, there&#8217;s been one thing I&#8217;ve been envious of. Parallels Desktop&#8230; or more specifically, its Coherence Mode. Parallels is a virtualization server that allows you to run one OS in another. That alone isn&#8217;t very special. There&#8217;s tons of programs [...]]]></description>
