		<title>Configuring Ubuntu as a VMware Host</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love VMware.  And Ubuntu has finally made it feasible to have a stable, mostly secure implementation of VMware available for everybody.  Sure VMware server runs on Windows.  But you don&#8217;t get months of uptime with windows.  Anybody who tells you otherwise is not applying security updates.  Linux is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>ghosts of aim</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve often felt that companies like Yahoo and AOL, the companies that have been around for basically as long as the Internet has been popular, should do a username purge.  Lots of usernames for these companies, login names that can easily be remembered by people, go unused as the original holder of that login [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well the Super Bowl came and went, it was a good game..  i was up off the couch screaming at that opening kickoff return.. haha.  The commercials were not the most spectacular I&#8217;ve ever seen, but there were some good ones nonetheless.  Here&#8217;s my favorite spot, from Coke (who totally cleaned up [...]]]></description>

		<title>HD musings (part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most interesting things that HD programming offers is something that I was completely unaware of prior to getting an HDTV.  When I thought of things being in &#8220;HD&#8221;, I thought only of new programs created specifically for this medium.  I knew the shows on ABC, or ESPN were being broadcast [...]]]></description>

		<title>living life in high def</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple weeks ago I finally decided to go ahead and get a HDTV for my apartment.  I&#8217;d been looking for quite a while, shopping around online and at stores, and decided finally to just get a Best Buy store brand, a 27&#8243; Insignia.  The price was decent..  got it home, hooked it up&#8230;  stuck [...]]]></description>

		<title>from the mind of a child</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found this photo album of children&#8217;s letters to God.  It is adorable to see a snapshot of such innocence at such a young age.  I think it is telling to see what voice children use when speaking to God, and how different the interaction of prayer is as someone grows older.

		<title>Sony&#8217;s Rocky Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems to me that Sony has been in the news a heck of a lot lately, and it hasn&#8217;t been anything positive. The PS3 will be released in a month and a half, and yet the amount of negative press is dwarfing the sense of anticipation and buzz that you&#8217;d expect. Just today it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blogs and Comment Spam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For as long as I&#8217;ve had a blog I&#8217;ve fought against the dreaded enemy: Comment Spam.
Luckily Wordpress has come along and now ships standard with a plugin called Akismet (auto kismet), which claims it will eliminate comment spam.  The setup process was easy enough; you just need an API key from wordpress.com, enable the [...]]]></description>
