		<title>The rise and fall (and rise again?) of webOS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who follows me on Twitter most certainly knows my feelings about what went down with HP and webOS this week.  It can be summed up in one word: anger, frustration, resignation, indifference, incredulousness (if that&#8217;s even a word, my spellchecker isn&#8217;t so sure!) and amazement. It helps to understand where I&#8217;m coming from, where [...]]]></description>

Anyone that knows me knows that I&#8217;m an old-timer C64  guy&#8230; I lived that life you read about and hear about from other old-timers.  I have a lot of fond memories, and some I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>jQuery wins the 2010 Open Source JavaScript Libraries Award</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I completed judging duties for Packt Publishing&#8217;s 2010 Open Source awards in the JavaScript libraries category.  The competitors where jQuery, Dojo, ExtJS, Rafael and MooTools, all very good libraries.  The winner was jQuery, based on a couple of judges&#8217; opinions and the opinions of the voting public.  Congratulations to jQuery! The judging experience was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Efficient remote code loading in webOS applications</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was an interesting forum post in the private webOS dev forums that I saw today talking about the Google Map app and how lousy it was (paraphrasing a bit- LOL). &#160;One of the biggest concerns, which I absolutely share, was around startup time. &#160;We were all wondering why it seems to take a lot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For anyone that follows me on Twitter or elsewhere you almost certainly know that I&#8217;m a huge fan of the progressive rock band Shadow Gallery (www.shadowgallery.com).  I have been for&#8230; jeez, about 15 years now, give or take!  I discovered them right around the time I got engaged to my wife, which means late &#8217;94, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter: it&#8217;s really not (all) just mental diarrhea!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twitter is stupid.  It&#8217;s a waste of time.  It&#8217;s people self-aggrandizing and trying to make themselves feel better about their pathetic lives.  It&#8217;s idiots telling you every little last bit of minutia about their day, as if anyone cares about their boyfriend problems or how lousy their boss is or how they are feeling &#8220;down [...]]]></description>

		<title>Palm, EVO or iPhone 4.0?  My feeling is&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been away from blogging for quite a while here, although I&#8217;ve been tweeting a lot (I&#8217;m SSOO lame!) and since I&#8217;ve been asked this question a number of times over the past few days I figured now is a good time to get back to it. I&#8217;m a Palm Pre owner, and a fairly [...]]]></description>

		<title>What the Apple v. HTC suit is REALLY all about</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s just about 2am here and I just got back from a business trip a few hours ago&#8230; I SHOULD be going to sleep, but instead I&#8217;m doin&#8217; the ole&#8217; blog thing! On the flight back I saw the news that Apple has opened litigation against HTC claiming infringement on 20 patents (as per [...]]]></description>

		<title>When comparisons go wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading a post over at The Register today talking about Opera Mini on the iPhone.  One of the talkbacks made a comparison between Apple&#8217;s App Store and a real store. They said (essentially) that if you own a brick-and-mortar store you can choose to sell any merchandise you want and reject any you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on Palm’s CES showing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[CES was a good show for Palm, no question.  They “brought the thunder”, “made it rain” or whatever the hell it is the cool kids are saying these days.  In fact, I’d go so far as to say it was a great show for them.  They delivered on everything most of us thought they would [...]]]></description>
