		<title>Independence Day in a small town</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Independence Day in a small town is great. I&#8217;ll describe the scene today. Basically, everyone drove out to the airport, where the fireworks show is held. Then, since there is plenty of free space on the tarmac, everyone sets off tons of huge fireworks while waiting for the real show. Totally dangerous, but totally awesome. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Burning Boards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, today was a fun day. I managed to burn up the CPLD on the Freescale evaluation board I&#8217;ve been using at work. I&#8217;m not sure if it was code that I wrote (though I don&#8217;t think so, I didn&#8217;t program the CPLD at all) or if I managed to shock it. My desk doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moved Webhosts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, if you&#8217;re seeing this site, everything worked. Over the weekend, I migrated from the old TextDrive BSD Shared hosting to the new Joyent Shared Accelerators. It&#8217;s all the same company, just new and faster servers. Since they&#8217;re faster and have more software I need, I decided to move some stuff I hosted elsewhere onto [...]]]></description>

		<title>Text Rendering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing quite a bit of messing around with text rendering on Linux recently. I&#8217;ve got a lovely setup which looks absolutely wonderful. It puts the font rendering on Windows to shame. Interestingly, there is quite a performance difference between my laptop and my desktop, when using identical setups. Using gtkperf, the laptop takes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bringing in the new year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, 2007 was a good year for me. I did lots of things. Some were better than others, some really sucked, but overall, I&#8217;m happy with it. I&#8217;ll try to make 2008 even better. (And I have some things in mind for that ) I started off 2008 pretty badly, though. Instead of getting sick [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ruby On Rails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past week, I&#8217;ve spent quite a bit of time working on a project for school. It was supposed to be an inventory / rental / customer management system for a video store, complete with changeable rental policies, bonus policies, rental limits, and the like. Quite a large project, especially for one towards the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Musings About Cell Phones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I realized the other night, when I got a call on my cell phone long after I had gone to bed, that despite the fact that having bright blue lights everywhere in your cell phone may look cool, it is no good for the eyes. Blue light is very close to the top of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crazy UPS Shipping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I ordered a chumby about 2 weeks ago now. If you don&#8217;t know what it is, go check out their website. For now, let&#8217;s just say that I love it even more than I thought I would. The interesting part is how it arrived (via UPS) at my door: So, the chumby was shipped [...]]]></description>
