		<title>Self-serving media roundup post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So with this crazy iPad launch thing, I got some photos of me in the press!  Here&#8217;s where I ended up (that I know about):
Boston Globe (My photo was used, a competitor was actually mentioned in the article)
Boston.com (haven&#8217;t been able to bring myself to watch that one yet)
TUAW.com (That&#8217;s me back by the end [...]]]></description>

		<title>An iPad security observation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The moment I had my iPad out and began setting up an email account, I realized that the iPad presents a challenge that the iPhone and iPod touch largely avoided. It is much easier to see someone typing in their password on the iPad than the smaller devices &#8211; not only is the keyboard larger, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meta-Nixie Clock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently caught Matt Mets&#8217; post on hacking a digital photo frame into a clock by generating a static image for each minute of the day, and then automating the action of advancing the image once per minute. This allows for any number of interesting clocks to be made with suggestions ranging from a written-word [...]]]></description>

		<title>lolshield hacking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Jimmie Rodgers, maker extraordinaire has come up with a great new shield for the Arduino which he is calling the LoLshield for &#8220;lots of leds&#8221;. It&#8217;s a charliplexed array of 126 LEDs in a 9&#215;14 grid that pops right onto an arduino. Neat!
A problem with charliplexing is brightness. Since you have to turn each [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do you really need a space?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Emily Daniels, David Nunez and I decided that it was Time To Do Something. We were all struggling with some personal creative projects, and felt that we needed a community of people around us who were making interesting things. With the right kind of people gathered, a lot of magic can happen. We were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making money (on twitter, without a record label, with fans)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These days, I am a total fanboy of Amanda Fucking Palmer. (Please check her and her music out if you do not know her and The Dresden Dolls) As with more and more artists, AFP is dissatisfied with her relationship with her music label, Roadrunner Records. While the restrictions on her expression may be the [...]]]></description>

		<title>New project released: iSrch Rndmzr 3000!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally finished the photography for my project, &#8220;iSrch Rndmzr 3000! by Subverted Industries&#8221;. The &#8220;project&#8221; really consists both of a device I fabricated (from an Arduino, display, and salvaged enclosure) and the corresponding web site. I&#8217;ll let you visit the site for details. My comments on the project can be found under the &#8220;about&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bizarre.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on a plane. The guy in front of me just reached over and grabbed the back of his chair, stretching. I wanted to lick his hand. Just to see what he would do. I would deny it, of course, because that would make for a more interesting exchange.
