		<title>Choose Your Own Coding Adventure?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You remember the Choose Your Own Adventure series? You&#8217;d read a paragraph or two, then be presented with a question, the answer determining which of several pages you&#8217;d turn to in order to continue the story. I may be giving too much credit to Mike Stackpole, Rick Loomis and the rest of the crew at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ruby 1.9 and Nginx on FreeBSD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Noticed some, um, interesting, gotchas when setting up ruby 1.9 and the nginx web server on FreeBSD. The issue with the ruby install is subtle, and doesn&#8217;t really show up until long after you have installed it. The issue is it points the gem repository to the wrong place. It points the gem repository to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting Rails 3.0.3/Nginx/Passenger Up On Dreamhost VPS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Edited 2001/10/24 to add apache notes at end.) Rails isn&#8217;t always an easy proposition on Dreamhost, and this was no exception. BTW, this is *not* the rvm version. I wanted to get the Dreamhost default setup working before I started playing with rvm. I&#8217;ll probably post an rvm-related set of instructions later. In this case, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Secret to Reality Distortion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know the secret to the (in)famous Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field. I&#8217;ve even used it myself, though I make no claim to equal his mastery of it. But the point is, it&#8217;s available to all of us. And now, in the wake of his passing, the time has come to talk about it. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lemme Get This Straight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More and more I hear the refrain that as a developer you can &#8220;circumvent&#8221; Apple&#8217;s AppStore and &#8220;walled garden&#8221; by developing web apps for iOS devices. I even hear Apple and Steve Jobs positioned as wanting to &#8220;destroy the web&#8221; with their focus on &#8220;native apps.&#8221; That their &#8220;focus on native apps&#8221; is &#8220;splintering the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Terra Incognita</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, let&#8217;s get the disclaimers out of the way right up front. Klout.com tossed me a free Fox VIP hoodie to take a sneak peek at the pilot for Fox&#8217;s new series Terra Nova. Like I needed to be paid to peek at a new science fiction TV show. And they encouraged (but did not [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Matter of Will</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just finished working in Program Operations for the latest WorldCon (Renovation) and started planning for the next one, in Chicago, when I&#8217;m running the department. Not because I&#8217;m going to do it so much differently (let&#8217;s face it, when you learn from the best, there&#8217;s not a lot of ways to improve on it) but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Postel&#8217;s Law and Human Interaction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in the day, the unutterably brilliant Jon Postel framed what will forever be known as &#8220;Postel&#8217;s Law:&#8221; Be conservative in what you emit, and liberal in what you accept. It stems from RFC 761, and it was originally intended to guide the creation of computer-computer interactions. In a nutshell, the law describes the nature [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Not Git-ing It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Phil Taylor recently tried to get up close and personal with git. He ran into difficulties, in no small part because he treated git like subversion, which it decidedly isn&#8217;t. So in the interests of helping out anyone else out there with the same idea, that of wanting to try out something new in hopes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Talk Radio Comes to Open Source</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been noticing a depressing trend among some contributors to OS projects. More and more I&#8217;m seeing people deliberately saying and doing outrageous things, and then excusing their behavior under the guise &#8220;I had to to that to make a point,&#8221; or some similar trash. The idea itself isn&#8217;t new, talking heads on TV and [...]]]></description>
