		<title>New Theme: Bwd 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you can probably tell by my new site design I have another new WordPress theme.  It&#8217;s called Bwd 3 and is a basically two things:

A minimalist theme with a robust options page that includes allowing you to participate in CSS Naked Day, have an intro message on the home page, have a custom home [...]]]></description>

		<title>If you&#8217;re following 1000 people you&#8217;re really following noone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been using Twitter a lot more lately and, like most people, I&#8217;ve found it interesting but useful and useless at the same time.  How is that?  Let me explain.
So Twitter is interesting for many reasons.  Microblogging is a lot easier than blogging &#8211; as is evident by my hundreds of tweets and zero [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wordpress themes in the Theme directory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick post.  I finally got around to submitting two of my themes in the official Theme directory.  They were accepted after some minor corrections.  You can find them here.
I just happened to check the stats today and between the two I have over 1200 downloads.  While not impressive considering some of the other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dealing With A Large, Opinionated And Active User Community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At my current position we are lucky to have a vibrant, active, large, opinionated, and outspoken community.  Perhaps it has to do with having a writing site but most users are logical and literate in their arguments which allows us many insights into the usability of our site, potential flaws / bugs, outstanding issues with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doesn&#8217;t anyone just need a UI Developer anymore?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So in light of the fact that I maybe be unemployed soon due to circumstances beyond my control I&#8217;ve started to reacquaint myself with the job market and the jobs that I might be qualified for.  It&#8217;s been an interesting experience to say the least.  Unfortunately, there seems to be two prevailing job types:

		<title>Full Feed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just noticed that oddly, even though I have my feed setup in admin to publish full articles it only does summaries.  I have the newest version of Wordpress.
Searches on this proved less than useful.
Anyone encountered this problem and know how to solve it?  I&#8217;d much rather have full feeds&#8230;

		<title>New home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve finally got my new hosting and I&#8217;m generally happy with it.  I&#8217;m still adding some tools and trying to mod some stuff in the background.  I&#8217;m hoping to release a version of my theme &#8211; less personalized since the one I use is pretty modified for my taste &#8211; soon.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tips Accepted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just another quick post today.  I plan to elaborate more on my Iron Man one from earlier this week, but haven&#8217;t had the time.  Why?  Ebay.
I&#8217;ve been attempting to sell some of my hot standard cards as well as some extra cards I have lying around.  It&#8217;s difficult since I&#8217;m a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Helium Marketplace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I have been conspicuously bereft of posts for quite a while &#8211; a fact I blatantly ignored in my recent posts.  Two reasons for this.  One is that I desperately wanted to update my site &#8211; the user interface, more RSS feeds to the sidebar for my ma.gnolia / flickr / reddit [...]]]></description>

The Patriots are my home team and as such there is always a resentment when they lose.  As any loyal fan [...]]]></description>

		<title>Search engine optimization (SEO) techniques</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a strategy to allow a site to rank in search engines (Google, Yahoo, Ask) for terms. Typically the goal is to rank in the top ten for terms relevant to the main focus of the site and within the top 1-2 pages (10-30 results typically) for secondary focus areas. Since [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mugsy: A Friend Remembered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was one year ago that I had to make that trip.  The vet had called me and told me that although things had been looking up the day before, when Mugsy woke up this morning and the vet looked at her, he knew she would not recover.  She couldn&#8217;t feed herself or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shameless Plug: Blog de Purée</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Figured I would give my good friend Paul at work a little link juice &#8211; although based upon comparing his Technorati rating to mine it might actually hurt him (he&#8217;s way more popular, but I&#8217;m still single and can take advantage of all the blog groupies so it&#8217;s a trade off).
Anyways, his site is called [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review: The Dirt: Confessions of the World&#8217;s Most Notorious Rock Band</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll admit it, I didn&#8217;t know that much about Motley Crue.  I only have one album &#8211; which I believe is a greatest hits they put out a few years ago &#8211; and I was (relatively) young during their glory days.  But a friend passed this on to me and I figured that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Facebook overvalued?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading that Microsoft is valuing Facebook at around $10 billion.  The kicker?  Facebook is holding out for a $15 billion valuation.
I&#8217;m not an expert on web 2.0 values, however I do remember the web 1.0 bust (just in time for my college graduation with a shiny degree in Computer Science&#8230; but bitterness aside&#8230;).  [...]]]></description>

		<title>SEO: Linking Strategies from Outside Sources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is something I drafted up for a discussion on our boards at work and figured I&#8217;d pilfer as content.  If I&#8217;m going to do the work anyways, might as well get some content for my site.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a tricky subject but one of the most widely accepted processes is having [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Believe in Belichick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I just finished watching the Patriots beat the Chargers 38-14 and the general feeling I get is one of vindication.  All week Coach Belichick has been villainized for what happened against the Jets.
Let me say that what he did was wrong and we were punished severely &#8211; to the point that it went beyond [...]]]></description>

Between work, life, riding my motorcycle, my niece and various other distractions I was just not able to concentrate on providing any quality content or new templates.  I figured nothing was better than doing something halfway.
I did [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Uncle</title>

		<title>How You Know You&#8217;re Old</title>

The added irony is I added a friend from high school&#8230; and they didn&#8217;t believe it was me.  If that&#8217;s not funny, I don&#8217;t know what is.
I know, MySpace is horrible.  I actually use Facebook more, but I keep the old MySpace [...]]]></description>

In the [...]]]></description>

Almost since I began this blog, back when it was hosted on wordpress, I have been singing the accolades of del.icio.us.  Recently I had begun to expand out and see what else there is in the social bookmarking field. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Better Man Than Me</title>
