		<title>Android App Recommendations Vol. 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a few more apps that I&#8217;ve come across that I&#8217;d like to highlight. Thanks to Justin for the Mario LWP recommendation! Like last time, some of these apps will only work on rooted phones or on certain versions of Android. Chrome to Phone &#8211; Send data from your web browser to your phone. Also]]></description>

		<title>Stay Back Grues, the Lantern Has Been Refueled</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am happy to announce that I have taken over hosting The Zork Library from it&#8217;s former owner DAT. The Zork Library has been one of the foremost websites about the Zork series of video games for over 10 years. I intend to maintain and expand the website. For the immediate future, my Zork installation]]></description>

		<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>

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]]></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>

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.]]></description>

		<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]]></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: Ubuntu 7.10]]></description>

		<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>
