		<title>iPhone 4 vs. Android</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The forums are wild with this topic. I read a few of the posts. Interesting arguments. It&#8217;s great to see the frenzy that a rivalry brings. It&#8217;s great to see the passion of the Android community. We are porting my game, Dark Nova to Android. As a development platform, Android seems to be a great bet and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on piracy&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things come full circle. Here&#8217;s the game I developed, Dark Nova on a Warez board. I just found this while searching for our android code repo&#8230; a simple link on how you can download and install my game for free.

		<title>iTunes broke my iPad -or- More Reasons Why I Hate iTunes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had an iPad for over a week. I&#8217;m enjoying it. I always avoid iTunes on all of my devices. But&#8230; I had a need to sync the iPad to load some photos. iTunes was, in theory, the &#8220;easiest&#8221; way to do this. iTunes did sync the photos. But it broke my iPad in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ipad Review &#8211;hmmm&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With a lot of prodding from my buddy Scott, I broke down and bought a 16gb iPad. Part of the motivation is that we want to port Dark Nova to iPad.

		<title>Message to Apple:</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Apple,
iTunes sucks. It has always sucked. It sucks even more now that I have to use it regularly in order to use my iPhone and iPad. It has to be updated at least twice a month. It&#8217;s cumbersome and slow even on a fast machine. It&#8217;s antiquated. I hate it very much and always [...]]]></description>

		<title>Auto generate speech files</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Building the new version of Dark Nova required me to generate a lot of audio (aiff) files containing speech for varios commands and events. You can use the Mac&#8217;s built-in &#8220;say&#8221; command to do this automatically. I wrote a script to create an .aiff file for every phrase in a list of phrases. It works [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love my Mac but it&#8217;s not very &#8220;clean&#8221; when working on network shares. If you work in a heterogeneous environment and you connect your mac to network shares, people may complain about the Mac leaving what some folks call &#8220;mac dust&#8221;.

		<title>Howto Fix Webdav On Windows 7 64bit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the impatient, I&#8217;ll skip right to the solution. Use AuthDigest for authentication in your webdav server config. That&#8217;s the big issue with connecting. Windows won&#8217;t connect with Basic Auth. For more detail read on.
