		<description><![CDATA[I have been writing code, in one form or another, for over 30 years.&#160; I’ve built games at a hobby level, business and entertainment software at a commercial/shrink-wrapped level, and had my hand in projects that have, individually, touched almost half a billion people. In short, I know my craft. During that time, across the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technologists and, I expect, most geeks in general, cannot have escaped the recent rumblings in the European Union’s anti-trust proceedings around Microsoft and the “bundling” of Internet Explorer with Windows. There has been plenty of discussion about forcing Microsoft to remove Internet Explorer from Windows entirely for Windows 7. How this is good for consumers, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What an absolute cluster-fuck. Re-subscribing to ZunePass has been a epic mistake.&#160; Well, okay, a $15 mistake.&#160; Not really epic considering I drive an Aston Martin, which drinks gas to the tune of $0.50/mile at full chat, but still, $15 simply pissed away. I really enjoyed my 1.0 Zune device on the original Zune software.&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pac-Man is an indisputably classic game, and one of my absolute favorite video games of all time.&#160; From the perspective of classic retro-games, probably my all-time favorite.&#160; It is certainly the one I&#8217;ve played the most. Whether it was frantically pumping quarters (or 10P pieces from what was my part of the world back then) [...]]]></description>
