		<title>The Eyeballing Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an enjoyable way to spend ten minutes giving your brain some exercise: The Eyeballing Game. The game/exercise asks you to modify a polygon to create a parallelogram and right angle, find the midpoint of a line, bisect an angle, find the center or a triangle and circle, and identify a convergence point. 
My average [...]]]></description>

		<title>Walking for Farm Animals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, Aimee and  I are taking part in the Walk for Farm Animals 2008 to raise money for Farm Sanctuary, a national non-profit that works to end cruelty to farm and food animals through rescue, education, and advocacy. It&#8217;s a great organization that, to me, is way more palatable than more confrontational organizations [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finances: Avoid Rash Moves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times has a story up today called Switching to Cash May Feel Safe, but Risks Remain. I highly recommend that you read it.
I&#8217;m not a particularly savvy financial person, but &#8220;think long term&#8221; always struck me as wise. There&#8217;s no doubt that it&#8217;s pretty hairy out there right now, but I think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wireframing with Balsamiq Mockups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Pras for the pointer to Balsamiq&#8217;s Mockups application. I was sketching wireframes quickly within minutes of finding the product. 
I believe in low-fidelity sketching at the wireframe stage. Balsamiq makes it easy with its large library of UI control stencils, its auto-complete driven keybroad stencil selection, on-screen snap-to alignment guides, a powerful inspector [...]]]></description>

		<title>Songbird Public Beta (0.7)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Congrats to my buddies (yo Koshi!) over at Songbird for reaching another big milestone: public beta.
Songbird is a media player like iTunes. Except that it&#8217;s build on top of the awesome Mozilla Firefox foundation. And like Firefox, it has an extensive array of extensions, themes, and assorted addons. Earlier versions haven&#8217;t supplanted iTunes for me, [...]]]></description>
