		<title>HTTP and the Stagnation of the Web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve read some of my previous posts, me and the current state of web technology have shared a love-hate relationship, more so on the latter side of things recently. Frankly I think the web has reached the pinacle of it&#8217;s current incarnation. Sure, there are lots of companies out there working hard, but for [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Future with Merb, Rails 3, and Ruby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So after my initial negative reaction to the announcement of the merger, I&#8217;m slightly less worried about it, but still not at all happy about it. I have no doubt that this initial release of Rails 3 will be a big win for Rails programmers, but I&#8217;m very worried about Rails slipping back into the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Comments back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t realize until the other night that comments have likely been hidden since I first made this design. I&#8217;ve fixed that now, anyone should be able to comment now.
How embarassing to have that be like that for months and not notice&#8230;

		<title>My Thoughts on Merb/Rails Merger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first reaction to this news was pretty much to scream &#8220;NOOO!!!&#8221; I&#8217;d recently really been getting to love the Merb framework. No one ever likes change but this is one that I still honestly can&#8217;t fathom. It&#8217;s not that I lack faith in the Merb team to do their integration, it&#8217;s that I lack [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linux is Liberating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to say, I had the most enjoyable experience tonight taking a 5-year-old HP Pavilion laptop and tearing it&#8217;s evil Windows inside out to replace with a more loving Linux. My flavor of choice was Ubuntu, mostly due to more experience with that OS.
Seriously though, Linux was more of a technical choice than a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Update on What I&#8217;ve Been Doing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been nearly two months since my last post and I can honestly say it wasn&#8217;t for lack of wanting to. The last six months has become increasingly busy for me. Six months plus ~1 week ago I graduated from college. 6 months ago I started my first career job at My Perfect Gig, Inc. [...]]]></description>

		<title>PureMVC Tip: Notifications</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a somewhat obvious tip, but in the past when sending PureMVC notifications I&#8217;ve sent them with an Array as the body. This is nice for simplicity, but requires you to more or less remember what the order of parameters are and what type each is. My solution is simply to create a single [...]]]></description>

		<title>Officially Sick of WordPress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last few releases of WordPress have been buggy at best, not to mention you have to bloat your install just to get some decent features. I liked WordPress the first time I used it but as of late it has become more of a bane than a boon.
So I figure I might as well [...]]]></description>

		<title>Site Downtime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I may have some site downtime over the next week as I transfer over to a new host.  I&#8217;ve been using a very cheap webhost over the last year due to my college student budget, but now I&#8217;m out in the real world and have bandwidth and language needs that I&#8217;ve found a better host [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye Mozilla Firefox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had some recent issues with Firefox. Nothing that bad, just frequent crashes, corruptions, and an unwillingness to create new tabs with any sense of speed. I know that barebones Firefox probably wouldn&#8217;t have these issues and my problems are likely the result of some malicious script or bloated add-on. However, This would be the [...]]]></description>
