		<title>So, I Quit Facebook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, about a week ago. In fact, I didn&#8217;t just deactivate my account, I salted the earth on the way out. Think &#8220;Russian retreat during French invasion&#8221; style scorched earth: I untagged myself from every picture, I deleted all my photos and albums, I deleted as many posts as far back as it would let [...]]]></description>

		<title>This is Going to Be a Little Nerdy.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Warning: the following post is some seriously specific and nerdy stuff. If you couldn&#8217;t care less about iPhones or clipboard managers then you can stop reading right now.
Still there? 
So, Pastebot. From Tapbots, the makers of Weightbot and Convertbot. 
I should mention that I&#8217;ve used Weightbot pretty consistently since August, and I love it. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nice, Bright Colors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh man. So, for some reason, I&#8217;m not taking this very well. 
I had a hard time moving from film to digital. Not because of any technical hurdle; it just didn&#8217;t feel right. Like, film felt so real. There was urgency. Scarcity of film meant you had to make every shot count. It kept you [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone 3GS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#8217;s been about a week with this thing. My thoughts thusfar:
(As a general disclaimer, I upgraded from a 1st generation iPhone.)
1.) PLUS: Way, way faster: Way faster. Since I&#8217;m hearing that the processor in the 1st gen and 2nd gen (the 3G) were identical, the guts in this thing are clearly much speedier. Apps [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Let it Go, Man.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you that know me, that really know me, you&#8217;re probably aware that I have a little trouble &#8220;letting things go.&#8221; 
Sometimes, when I get a project in my head, it&#8217;s almost like it has a life of it&#8217;s own, and I&#8217;m merely the vessel by which it achieves life. I can&#8217;t sleep. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feelin&#8217; The Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So yeah; I&#8217;m feelin&#8217; the love.
As some of you may know, Meg and I have been on a several month long journey of buying a home. During this time we have experienced a range of emotions with regard to our finances, our self esteem, our ability to cope with stress, and how we feel about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nineteen Eighty Five</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All of us have past lives. Points in our lifetimes when we were different. Sure, we all experience the gradual changes of growing up, maturing, learning, becoming more wise. But these are things that usually slip quietly into ourselves; things that change about us in small and sometimes imperceptible ways, gradually, over a long period [...]]]></description>

		<title>Effing Finally.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When the iPhone was first jailbroken, back in the iPhone OS 1.x days, there was a utility you could obtain from Installer.app called Taskbar Notifier that would populate the iPhone&#8217;s status bar with little icons for missed calls or voicemails, unread emails, or unread SMS messages. 
Before I installed it, I didn&#8217;t really understand how [...]]]></description>

		<title>You&#8217;re wrong, so shut the hell up.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All of these things offended my sensibilities today between the hours of 8:30am and 3pm.
In no particular order:

It&#8217;s &#8220;Sansom&#8221; street, not &#8220;Samson.&#8221; You should see a doctor about your dyslexia. This is even more a grievous offense if you actually live on or near Sansom street.

There is no letter &#8220;S&#8221; in the name WaWa. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone 3G</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may have heard, Apple announced the much-rumored iPhone 3G on Monday.
After the introduction of the original iPhone, I made a post detailing my predictions for what features we might expect in the next model of the device.
The new model does indeed have longer battery life, larger storage capacity (although, that was a feature [...]]]></description>

		<title>It goes &#8217;round and &#8217;round</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past Saturday, I went out to the burbs to check out my brothers band, The Sermon!, play at Vincents. Dad was there, and my friends George and Virginia were able to attend. A good time was had by all. 
I used to go to Vincents with my brother Rob just about every Saturday to [...]]]></description>

		<title>That is a large TV.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, some background: the TV we&#8217;ve had in our apartment for the last 5 years or so, has been the very same TV that my parents purchased for the Mastrippolito living room back in 1984. When I was 5 years old. When they were still married. Twenty-three years ago. 
It&#8217;s a 1984 RCA 27&#8243; Colortrak, [...]]]></description>
