		<title>SPICE 5 Citation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had missed this (or, rather, Google Alerts had). AlphaVax had apparently given a presentation titled Flow-Cytometric Evaluation of T-Cell Responses Elicited by an Alphavirus Replicon Particle Vaccine for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in Healthy Adults sometime in June. Quite a mouthful. The presentation describes how AlphaVax used multiparameter flow cytometry to explore one of their vaccine [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone 4 Antenna Problems</title>

		<title>Cat Treats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sitting here drinking my Saturday morning coffee (it&#8217;s almost noon), my eyes focused on the back of a Whiskas Temptations cat treat bag. I had no idea how goddamn weird the Whiskas marketing team is. The back of the bag reads: Not to be savored but once a year, oh no! This girthy bird of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Updates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been awhile since I posted and a few things have been going on lately that&#8217;ve been keeping me busy or demotivated (depending on the subject). I thought I&#8217;d post a brief update. Web Site You&#8217;ll notice a new look for my site. The theme is not mine, rather it&#8217;s a slightly customized version of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zendesk Saga</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mikkel Svane ( @mikkelsvane ), CEO of Zendesk, made what must have been quite a difficult apology for the price increase fiasco two days ago. What are my thoughts? Well, I&#8217;m not quite sure. When this all started, I raised a few points about trust. I stand by those points firmly. I wasn&#8217;t angry at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zendesk Third Impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Awhile back, I wrote about the SaaS help desk company Zendesk and their &#8220;crazy girlfriend sales tactics.&#8221; Not only was the article a hit, but it prompted a very good response from Zendesk itself. As a result, I posted a fair-is-fair retraction and basically endorsed the company. Now it looks like I have to post [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google-itis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The SouthtownStar posted an article about &#8220;Google-itis,&#8221; which is a cutesy term for Internet-fueled hypochondria and/or self-diagnosis. It hit home a bit, as it made me think of a loved one going through the same thing. Hypochondria aside, &#8220;google-itis&#8221; can be dangerous. I know several people suffering true social anxiety (some worse than others) for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transcriva Reviewed on LINK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fahad Faruqui posted a review of Transcriva 2 on LINK. It was a nice, well-rounded view of Transcriva&#8217;s strengths. Even if you’re woefully analog, Transcriva 2 is easy to use, efficient and customizable—making transcription both easier and faster. Thanks for the mention, Fahad!

		<title>Random Pre-Sleep Thought #3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d add to my growing body of strange phrases from my sleepy brain. This one happened a few weeks ago, but I hadn&#8217;t gotten around to writing about it yet. It&#8217;s also not so much a pre-sleep thought as a waking-up thought at the end of a dream (hypnopompic versus hypnagogic). I suppose [...]]]></description>

		<title>Comedy Censored</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Regarding the censored South Park episode aired last night &#8230; What Comedy Central did was cowardly, shameful, senseless, and wrong. I make no secret about my opinions of organized religion. I have nothing against those who practice a faith that holds them to peace and tolerance, but I hate zealots and extremists who twist intentions [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zendesk Second Impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I posted my e-mail response to the Zendesk representative I dubbed &#8220;Heidi&#8221; (obviously not her real name), wherein I compared her to a crazy ex-girlfriend, bent on constant reassuring contact. Zendesk got around to responding to that sentiment directly. Fair is fair, so I&#8217;m posting the rest of the conversation, which turned out [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPad Saving My iPhone Battery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve noticed a much better battery life with my iPhone since getting my iPad. Seems it&#8217;s completely changed my iPhone usage patterns. For one thing, I often reached over to the stand on which my iPhone rests for quick things like checking an incoming email. Even with my laptop right in front of me, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zendesk First Impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the very end of last week, I started a one-month free trial with Zendesk, a web-based help desk a la FogBugz. I chose it for its simplicity and am so far happy with the system itself, even with a minor technical hiccup. It&#8217;s the crazy-girlfriend-like sales tactics that bug me a little (a lot).

		<title>More Complaints About iPad Mobile Safari</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d like to extend my iPad Mobile Safari Bitchfest with a few more usability gripes. Cripes, did anybody give Mobile Safari a real usability test on the iPad?

		<title>Swipe to Navigate in Mobile Safari</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I sent my first e-mail to Steve Jobs a few minutes ago. I think iPad&#8217;s Mobile Safari is sorely missing the swipe-to-navigate gesture. I eagerly await his response (I&#8217;m even holding my breath). In the meantime, I&#8217;d like to opine. Here&#8217;s the letter: Greetings, Mr. Jobs: On the iPad, the screen is blessedly large, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nature by Numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not often I come across a specimen of modern art that moves me. Yet, I can&#8217;t stop thinking about Nature by Numbers by Cristobal Vila. As breathtaking and beautifully crafted as Cristobal&#8217;s imagery is, the soundtrack deserves equal billing. Often a Bird is a beautiful piece of music by Wim Mertens. It&#8217;s definitely worth [...]]]></description>

		<title>UUID As Last Name</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People have trouble with their last names (surnames, family names, whatever you call them in your part of the world). Spelling them over the phone, pronouncing them, being misidentified by them because they&#8217;re not unique enough. For all the complaining, I propose action that wouldn&#8217;t solve this problem, but would at least make it fun. [...]]]></description>
