		<title>John Adams Conducts&#8230; John Adams!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s rare for me to find modern &#8220;classical&#8221; music that I like. Some time ago, the National Symphony Orchestra decided to perform a piece called Sacred Crap Heart Explosion before Beethoven&#8217;s Ninth, that triggered me to boo for the first time in my entire life at a music event of any kind. So I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Or Why I Use a Mac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From an email I wrote today, names changed to protect the innocent: So today two important computer related things happened.

		<title>iPad &#8211; $0.02</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So two thoughts about iPad: I hate Flash. With a tremendous passion. It is a bug-ridden, resource-hungry abomination that has encouraged bad design to proliferate around the web. That said, if you have a &#8220;wicked fast&#8221; processor, especially one that isn&#8217;t &#8220;wasting&#8221; cycles on things like managing the overhead of multitasking, there&#8217;s no excuse not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roundup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found that there are a whole bunch of articles shared by various people on Twitter that I wanted to comment on, but with more than 140 characters.

		<title>Why I ended up calling the police on a Metro employee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of people have asked about my Tweet earlier that I had to call the police on an on-duty Metro employee, so I figure it&#8217;s just easier to post here. About two years ago, I found a phone on the Metro, a $400 Treo Pro. I called the number marked &#8220;Home&#8221; on it, told [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reclaiming the Word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was visiting an office colleague today while our highly competent IT team was trying to ascertain just what was wrong with my computer. For the first time, said office colleague&#8217;s office mate was there and since work had come to a stand still thanks to my dead computer, I sat down to talk for [...]]]></description>

I think that&#8217;s about my limit of how far out I&#8217;ve thought about the future &#8211; wondering what the world might look like in 2999 in 1999, I had a heady feeling that we [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Cost of DRM, Illustrated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking about this on the way back from work today: what&#8217;s the end-user cost of (worthless) DRM? And I realized, well, it&#8217;s whatever it takes to get around it. So I decided to illustrate this with an example, using our monopoly cable provider and its BS DRM as the inspiration, since I&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>
