		<title>Flipboard &#8211; Your Personal Digital Magazine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Flipboard is a new iPad application that takes the content posted by your friends on Facebook and Twitter and formats it into a multi-page magazine layout.  When you friend posts a link on Facebook, Flipboard follows that link, grabs the relevant content and turns it into a magazine page.
The layout of content and images is remarkable.  The look and feel is very much like a magazine including the page turn ...]]></description>

		<title>Independence Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Independence Day is a time to be appreciative of the freedoms that we have been given.  To think back about the origins of this great country of ours.  The sacrifices made that allow us to live the way we live. 
I truly believe that this is the greatest country in the world.  I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.  This week…this Independence Week… my son and I are embarking on a ...]]></description>

		<title>iPhone 4 Grip of Death</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been following the iPhone4 release pretty closely.  My employer is an iPhone app developer so it&#8217;s a pretty big deal for us. 
The reception problems that have been reported seem to be related to them metal strip running around the edge of the phone.  Unfortunately, holding the phone the way any normal user might hold it causes cell reception to decrease significantly.  Maybe all of those reported dropped call weren&#8217;t ...]]></description>

		<title>More than a Short URL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the world of micro-blogging where every character counts, URL shortening services demonstrate their value all day long.  Follow nearly anyone’s Twitter feed and you’ll see that nearly every link has been shortened.  But is that all that services like http://bit.ly are good for?  Many URL shortening services offer click tracking as well.  But why is this important?
Many good bloggers and other webmasters know their audience.  They’ve got log analyzers ...]]></description>

		<title>The Value of a Certification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The technology industry is full of acronyms.  You’ve got LAN, WAN, CPU, and DSL.  We’ve got OSPF, EIGRP, BIOS, NIC and MTU.  How do you find someone that understands what they all mean?  Do you look for someone with some level of certification?  Maybe you hire someone with a CCNA, CCIE, MCSE, MCP, MCITP, RHCE or a VCP?  See the problem?

The industry is evolving so rapidly that it’s impossible to ...]]></description>

		<title>Why Social Networking?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have just recently discovered that there are some aspects of social networking that I really like.  Due to some internal development projects, my employer suggested that employees create Facebook accounts to help push our Facebook trivia application.  I was skeptical but signed up anyway.  Within just a couple of weeks, I was talking to friends and family that I hadn&#8217;t had contact with in years.
While watching the Olympics this ...]]></description>

		<title>A Successful Release</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
How do you determine when a software release is successful?  Each release is different and different types of software can measure success differently.  There might be errors during deployment that don&#8217;t adversly affect customers&#8230;was it successful?  A successful release starts with a well designed release plan. 
Software developers and QA personnel don&#8217;t typically have permissions to production servers, so there is a hand-off between these teams and the production team.  Without ...]]></description>

		<title>The First 6000 Miles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am fortunate to be the owner of a 2010 Camaro.  It&#8217;s been a joy to drive and it was worth every minute of the wait  (4.5 months from the day I ordered until it was delivered).  The new Camaro and Challenger have truly brought back the muscle car.  While the Challenger exterior is nearly 100% retro, the Camaro is a blend of old and new.  You can&#8217;t just go ...]]></description>
