		<title>Why Your JavaScript Should be Compressed with the YUI Compressor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I listened to Scott Hanselman and Jeff Atwood discussing Website Optimization on Hanselminutes and Scott asked Jeff why external JavaScript files should be compressed for speed and performance of web sites and web applications.  One thing that Jeff didn&#8217;t answer with that I think is worth noting is that the YUI compressor that Jeff [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Few Links Around the Web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a huge fan of learning new things (and I like to think that you are, too):
My buddy Dave O&#8217;Hara sent me this link: 7 Rules of Unobtusive JavaScript. A good overview of why you should be coding unobtrusively (which I do in as many cases as possible) and also explains some good things about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Assumptions I&#8217;ve Seen in the HTML 5 Debate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It wasn&#8217;t until the recent flurry of the guardfather of web standards, Jeffrey Zeldman, and his posts about HTML 5 (see: In Defense of Web Developers, HTML 5 Nav Ambiguity, HTML 5 Is A Mess, and so forth) that I began looking into HTML 5.  I&#8217;m busy being pragmatic with my code today and making [...]]]></description>

		<title>Go Native: JSON Vs eval is evil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the world of browser performance you can find yourself looking for the little things to make big differences, or even a lot of little things to make a bigger difference together.  I&#8217;ve been researching one particular change that is coming down the pike: native JSON handling.  John Resig wrote about the need for native [...]]]></description>

		<title>IE7 ClearType Gripe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I fully understand why Internet Explorer 7 uses clear type.  Some people&#8217;s eyes work better with ClearType.  It is simply an accessibility nightmare in my humble opinion.  Actually, the problem is not in the ClearType &#8211; which works better on some displays than others &#8211; but it is in the Internet Explorer [...]]]></description>

		<title>They Got it Right: TripIt Invite</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got an invite from TripIt.com.  Well, it was through TripIt.com, from my buddy Dave.  When the invitation arrived it not only had a link, but it had a username (my email address) and password already in the email.  Wow.  The cost to click the link and join their social [...]]]></description>

		<title>Audacity Digital Audio Editor in New Radio Shack Ad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading at Unclutterer and they linked to a Radio Shack Ad on YouTube.  As the commercial played I was able to see what looked like Audacity.  Sure enough, once I zoomed in and paused the player at the right time they&#8217;re using the open source software to show a large, high [...]]]></description>

		<title>Write It Like You Want to Experience It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I dabble in the world of philosophy at times and one of the philosophical movements that I don&#8217;t participate in, but find interesting is existentialism.  Experience is all that there is doesn&#8217;t suit me, but in the world of software development experience is all that there is.

Does your software do what it says it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Sense of the Microsoft Buyout of aQuantive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What makes sense in the aQuantive acquisition?  Not much, the long and short of it is that Microsoft just spent a huge amount of money to do some saber rattling.  You could probably guess that Microsoft is peeved to be out of the loop in the lucrative online advertising world.  You could [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a huge fan of Douglas Crockford, this video is well worth your time to watch or listen to in the background: Quality.  This is a great story about software development history as well as problems that you might be able to avoid.
