		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s pretty hard to get excited about hard drives. Magnetic media&#8217;s most reliable trick is that it keeps getting bigger; solid state on the other hand is obliterating every bench mark out there, but remains expensive per gigabyte. Fortunately, something has come along to fill the gap.

Seagate&#8217;s Momentus XT is awesome and we&#8217;ve got some.

		<title>It&#8217;s a Follow-Up Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m eating my words all right. What happened over the weekend still doesn&#8217;t seem in step with reality, but for a different reason now. Why? Why why why? The videos show people running up to windows, taking three swings with a baseball bat and then retreating into a crowd. Another clip shows someone trying to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Showdown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A week or two ago we were told not to come to work during G20 summit: the shop and most of the campus would be closed those days due to our close proximity to the protests scheduled at Queen&#8217;s Park. This seemed strange at first. Protests in Toronto are regular enough after all, and if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Employment 2.0: Business Owner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this is weird. I own one third of a business.
Back in June of 2009, the repair shop that had employed me for the better part of nine years folded. For some this was good news, for some this was expected, and for the formerly employed this was very sudden (we had in fact just [...]]]></description>

		<title>SwipeHead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of us, at some point, will apply a label of sorts to ourselves. Are we teachers, rocket surgeons, hippies, nihilists, or maybe middle-aged? A single label rarely suffices, and I&#8217;ve gone through a few myself. I&#8217;ve alleged myself to be a musician, a coder, a technician, a writer (hah), and had a few other [...]]]></description>

		<title>[UIImage imageNamed:]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UIImage *myImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"pony.png"];
This is probably one of the most convenient methods I&#8217;ve ever come across. Feed it a name and it will return an image. Better yet, it handles caching for you automatically so that you don&#8217;t have to. Notice something about it though? There&#8217;s no alloc, meaning you shouldn&#8217;t call release. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hey Dave!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey Dave! is a social experiment/exhibit/event being run by some good friends of mine at Nuit Blanche. If you know Dave (or especially if you don&#8217;t), mark October 3rd on your calendar and go visit him at Bay and Queen Street.

		<title>Move Over Tic Tacs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, I&#8217;m not the sort of person that goes out and buys a giant screw driver set on a whim, but this weekend I had need for three uncommon drivers. Thus, it was off to the hardware store, that special place where you can find gardening tools and chain-saws under the same roof. The most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow Leopard: Defeated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After spending years professionally beating irrational computers into acting rationally again, it&#8217;s a humbling experience to almost get beaten by a simple software update. That&#8217;s not to say software updates are without their eccentricities, but you can at least count on the problems to begin either after the software has finished installing, or right in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Media Clouds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time. In my last post I mentioned Danny&#8217;s discovery of Wordle, and after playing around with it for a few minutes I started wondering what would happen if you fed a whole news site at it. Would it be possible to quantify how much attention a story gets? Better yet, would it be possible [...]]]></description>
