		<title>Why I&#8217;m trading in my iPhone for a Blackberry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hung up the phone from a conversation with a friend on Saturday and noticed that, once again, my phone had lost all of its saved email and sent/received calls. I had been trying to talk myself out of buying an iPhone since they had gone on sale about 24 hours prior, but this was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know I haven&#8217;t posted in a long time and I know this won&#8217;t make up for it, but it seems that Google is testing out a new design. I don&#8217;t know anyone else who&#8217;s seen this yet, so here it is, for your viewing pleasure:

		<title>&#8230;And a Beer in every glass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m introducing a new section today in which I will discuss one of my favorite things in the world: Beer. I&#8217;ll start off my postings in this section by doing one of my other favorite things: Complaining.
I went out to dinner with my family on Sunday for Easter (their tradition, not mine). We went to [...]]]></description>

		<title>PHP Tag Libraries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never quite understood why no one writes PHP libraries in C. The platform completely supports it. In JSP, when you need a tag that doesn&#8217;t exist and none of the 10,000,000 Java classes that you&#8217;ve installed with your latest and most buzzword-compliant framework supply it, you write it &#8212; in Java. You compile it [...]]]></description>

		<title>More blog woes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spent the last 2 days trying to debug a problem with a drupal module that is installed on one of the sites at work. The problem was with a module called img_assist. Basically it allows for a user-friendly way to add images to drupal nodes by creating the image as a node itself.

		<title>Can of Spam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;ve noticed a tremendous increase in the amount of spam that I&#8217;ve been receiving lately. For years I&#8217;ve employed a system of identifying the sources of my spam, but it has not been as successful as I would have hoped. I own quite a few domain names, and I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drupal 5 Released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The release of Drupal 5 creates a wondrous plethora of feelings inside me. They range from a curious awe to a less curious nausea. It also leads me to a long list of questions. Questions such as &#8220;Did they fix the API?&#8221;, &#8220;Did they fix any of the scalability and performance issues?&#8221;, and &#8220;Does it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The birth of the Next Programming Language</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally decided on a name for the project I&#8217;ve been calling &#8220;Script&#8221;. I&#8217;ve named it &#8220;The Next Programming Language&#8221; or &#8216;NextPL&#8217; for short. I&#8217;ve registered nextpl.org and nextpl.com and registered the project wth Sourceforge.net &#8212; I haven&#8217;t been approved yet, but I see no reason why I wouldn&#8217;t be. Anyway, I&#8217;ve laid out a [...]]]></description>
