		<title>Documentation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the very glimpse or thought of this word, many people cringe. I&#8217;ve gotta confess that I don&#8217;t understand the animosity.
I&#8217;ve been less than a year at my job, and it&#8217;s becoming clear why we&#8217;re encouraged to write specifications of our features from so many different angles.  It&#8217;s nearly impossible for someone else to pick [...]]]></description>

		<title>Humility about the weather</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a strange thing, the weather in Seattle.  One moment is sunny, and the next the sunbreak has left for Oregon and rain deflected by the mountains move in.

		<title>Hulu Desktop + Wiimote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I learned today of Hulu Desktop, a way to watch Hulu without opening the web browser.  I had just bought a Bluetooth dongle with the hope of using it as an interface device, and this was the first opportunity to do so!
Using Jason Smith&#8217;s Wiimote Presenter, I just remapped some keys to make more sense [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stupid Norton: IPv4 autoconfiguration error</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent two hours trying to figure out why, whatever the configuration settings I threw at it, a laptop would not connect to a wireless connection.  Turns out the culprit was Norton Internet Security.  Only by running the Norton Removal Tool was I able to fix the computer.
Basically, ipconfig /all would give me the following [...]]]></description>

		<title>Locked Out of Your G1?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One issue has been bugging the Android user community for awhile now, and it seems like Google has been mum on the issue (android bugs 3006, 4784).
The issue is that a phone can be locked out if too many tries of the unlock pattern fails to unlock a phone (usually a friend or a kid [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the second or third of these meetings that Amanda and I have went to, and it&#8217;s definitely starting to get a bit interesting.

		<title>Transit hacking &#8211; polylines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After attending the King County Metro developers conference earlier in October, they awarded each of us with a CD of the current dataset and also a GTFS copy of the data.  I had been having troubles trying to figure out metro&#8217;s shape data (apparently it was some form of GIS awesomeness), so I was sooo [...]]]></description>
