		<title>Macro Micro Checklist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A variation on my Simple Checklist Sheet.
The Macro Micro Checklist allows you to maintain a list of key deliverables, fine grained tasks, and a quick calendar of highlights for the upcoming month.
In the top left you&#8217;ve got a list of Key Deliverables. These are the high-level tasks / projects you&#8217;ve got on your plate. They [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three Useful Task Sheets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost five years ago I wrote a self organizing todo-list application. It was ugly, but worked really well. Unfortunately for me, I really prefer writing my todo lists out on paper. I like the simplicity of it, ideas just flow out through my pen. I can make notes and draw little arrows connecting things. And, [...]]]></description>

		<title>On creating my own language</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of you may remember that I was working on creating my own language. I wrote a creation myth in it a little over a year ago, and with the exception of a few months, I&#8217;ve been trying to make daily diary entries in it as a way of not only recording my life but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Respro Foggy [first impressions]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[      In WebBikeWorld&#8217;s review of the HJC IS-16 helmet they pondered why there was Velcro on the inside of the chin-bar. A commenter suggested that maybe it was for a Respro Foggy. Curious as to what one was I Googled their site and was amazed at the simple brilliance of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The App Store is like a forest.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A thought came to me this morning. Apple&#8217;s App store, and it&#8217;s apps. It&#8217;s a forest and trees kinda situation.
It&#8217;s much easier to find a tree by going to the forest.
The forest is huge filled with trees.
And the trees benefit from living close to each other.
But&#8230;
Each forest typically has only a handful of types of [...]]]></description>

		<title>On learning Na&#8217;vi (or any &#8220;fictional&#8221; language)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a number of people out there who have expressed an interest in learning Na&#8217;vi (the language spoken by the Omatikaya in Avatar ) and are getting verbally shat upon by the communities they dare to mention this in. And, I can understand the knee-jerk reaction that it&#8217;s silly to learn a language from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stop applying your agenda to Avatar (and everything else)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over on Sociological Images Lisa evaluates Avatar(spoiler alert) Unfortunately, she&#8217;s got an agenda, and is seeing what she wants to see instead of what&#8217;s actually there.
First off, she says that the Na&#8217;vi &#8220;&#8230; are, in short, the stereotypical “noble savage.”
Which as I stated in my review of Avatar, is simply false.
The Na’vi are never portrayed [...]]]></description>

		<title>In which B&amp;N misses the point entirely</title>
		<description><![CDATA[B&#38;N has already screwed the nook with all its caveats. Today I discovered that they&#8217;ve also made a rather significant cock-up in their iPhone eBook reader too.
As you probably know from my post about the Kindle I refuse to buy any DRMd book and not because I hate DRM. But there are still thousands of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why tinyurl.com and its cousins are a blight upon the internet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every web page on the internet has an URL that is a unique address (that&#8217;s why it goes in the &#8220;address&#8221; bar), and in the beginning everyone used that. But early e-mail clients kinda sucked, and some of the current ones still do, and those addresses were so long they&#8217;d wrap, or had some funky [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avatar [review]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t plan to write this.
I just can&#8217;t get it out of my head.
Despite the hype, despite my fear of having expectations set too high, Avatar has blown me away.
You&#8217;ve probably heard people talking about how incredible the CGI is, and it is. But that&#8217;s not important. What&#8217;s important, is that James Cameron has created [...]]]></description>
