		<title>Making Feeds Fun and Friendly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m disappointed with how hard it is to get people to use feeds to track updates on websites. The idea is pretty simple.  You start your online browsing experience from a special feed reader tool that collects updates from your favorite websites. It&#8217;s a real time-saver because you don&#8217;t have to visit the websites [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Wave, email for the next generation?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The folks at Google decided to re-invent e-mail.  What would e-mail look like if we could &#8220;start over&#8221; and re-create it? You might think, &#8220;e-mail isn&#8217;t THAT old is it?&#8221; Actually it is. Internet e-mail and the specifications that define how it works have been around since 1982 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc821). In the last twenty-seven years we&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nintendo Wii and PlayOn for Video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve switched back to Netflix from Blockbuster (because I loathe Blockbuster for a variety of reasons).  A bonus of being back on Netflix is using the Instant Play feature (VOD) to watch streaming movies.  I already get a great amount of VOD from my AT&#38;T U-verse box but it tends to be more stacked with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thousand Hills Coffee Part Two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an earlier entry I looked at Thousand Hills coffee.  It didn&#8217;t quite make the cut for me (or several of my co-workers).  Recently I was gifted a second bag (Thanks Therian!).  This bag was the Vooba Vooba Espresso blend.
This blend is made with both Nicaraguan and Rwandan beans, not the traditional choice for an [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Starbucks Via Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Instant coffee is typically freeze dried crystals of a prepared coffee that can be added to hot water to make a quick coffee drink. I guess the ultimate goal is making a coffee drink that&#8217;s not fresh brewed coffee that still tastes like fresh brewed coffee. Via is Starbucks answer to your father&#8217;s Sanka instant [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sharepoint for Enterprise Social Media?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The answer is no.
A friend of mine says software selection is only 10% of what makes a successful solution. I&#8217;ll agree if the software options all have a set of base features you need! I think the point is there is a lot more to a successful implementation than the underlying software platform (and I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disposable Electronics?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the town I grew up in there was a small TV repair shop named &#8220;Ron&#8217;s TV&#8221;.  The folks at Ron&#8217;s TV repaired televisions and many other electronics. From what I heard, the owner&#8217;s name wasn&#8217;t Ron, that was just a ruse for sales guys and bill collectors. Apparently they did something right, because many [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does your Corporate Culture Clash with your Social Side?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve seen the Mac and PC commercials right? Apple products are hip, fun, and counter-cultural. iPods, iMacs, and iPhones generally exude a fun, simple, elegant design. Working at Apple must be a really progressive place just like the commercials right? Everybody blogs, lots of wikis and ad-hoc collaboration? Nope. Apple employees aren&#8217;t supposed to have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Airpot Brewing with the Technivorm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t try this at home.  Wait, TRY this at home!
Often I get assigned &#8220;coffee duty&#8220;. This often happens when we have people coming over, we host a party, or bring coffee to an event. I often find myself getting out my two glass airpots and brewing coffee into the carafes.  Then I carefully pour [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bible Software for the Mac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are looking for Bible study software for the Mac you aren&#8217;t alone.  On Windows there are quite a few options &#8211; even great free ones like Online Bible and e-Sword. I did a lot of &#8220;poking around&#8221; for low cost and free solutions.  The only real solution I found, that was [...]]]></description>
