		<title>Supplemental Material</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little over a year ago, Johnny Lee came to UW&#8217;s CSE department to talk about the impact of his wiimote head-tracking video on YouTube.  As part of his talk, he had what he called something like the pyramid of impressions.  While an academic paper may have 10 readers, a white-paper may have 100.  A [...]]]></description>

		<title>Non-traditional commutes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why do I always revert back to transportation-related discussion?  Maybe I&#8217;m in the wrong line of work! One thing I&#8217;ve noticed is that people get so locked into their routine commute.  They may not be aware of the multitude of alternate commutes that can perfectly fit their schedule.  Sure, there&#8217;s tons of ads and pushes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Graphene and the Nobel Prize</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Boy, what a trip it was to see what the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to this year &#8212; the &#8220;discovery&#8221; of graphene!  The name of single-layer graphite is pretty inaccurate in of itself, but it&#8217;s becoming an accepted term in the physical sciences.  It&#8217;s interesting that these scientists were praised so soon &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>UW Station Light Rail Meeting, April 21st, 2010 Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick update on the status of these wonderful meetings&#8230; this meeting didn&#8217;t bring up much else than what was covered in the December meeting. A couple of improvment that the contractors are working on in the short term: Working on plaza improvement near the west main gate of Husky Stadium (E17) to accomadate [...]]]></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. It&#8217;s often striking to observe what my fellow Seattleite does when confronted with sudden weather changes and weather of that they don&#8217;t approve (which is another [...]]]></description>

		<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&#8216;s Wiimote Presenter, I just remapped some keys to make more [...]]]></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 [...]]]></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 [...]]]></description>
