		<title>Useful hidden OS X tips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There have been similar posts on other sites about this, but it never occurred to me that I would have any use of these tips until I had read rialvalue&#8217;s &#8220;Some little gems on OSX you might want to know&#8221;. For example, it&#8217;s sometimes useful to view hidden files from the Finder/Explorer window rather than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Indie Game Sale: 6 games for 1 low price</title>
		<description><![CDATA[6 award-winning and/or nominated games, all for $20 USD. I haven&#8217;t demoed all of these games, but I can tell you that this bundle is totally worth it if you just play Amanita Design&#8217;s Machinarium (which is usually $20 by itself) or Cipher Prime&#8217;s Auditorium. All of the games work on PC, 3 on Mac, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who Watches the Watchmen: US policy had role in Google-China Hack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nice CNN Op-Ed piece by Bruce Schneier on the role US policy had in the Chinese hacks of Google. He makes a strong case against backdoor access systems for law enforcement, i.e., that building a backdoor access system is just as likely to be abused as is it used for legal purposes:
The problem is that [...]]]></description>

		<title>FPS Bug in Adobe Media Encoder CS4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (AME) is a stand-alone app that comes with Flash CS4 and After Effects CS4. While it has the ability to do batch encoding and HD h264 .f4v&#8217;s (basically a .mp4 file in a flash wrapper), with its clunky interface, limited pre/post-processing options and odd bugs, you&#8217;re better off using full-featured encoders [...]]]></description>

		<title>Employers to Colleges: More Emphasis on Communication, Critical Thinking Skills</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting NY Times article by Kate Zernike, on colleges focusing more on training for specific jobs and careers:
The Association of American Colleges and Universities recently asked employers who hire at least 25 percent of their workforce from two- or four-year colleges what they want institutions to teach. The answers did not suggest a narrow focus. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using Version Control for your blog or site</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether it&#8217;s web development, media production, or writing that school term paper, version control is always A GOOD THING, especially when more than one person is involved. Good version control:

 allows a developers to concurrently work on the same section of code
experiment with new designs without fear of breaking the current site/program/document
document the development process, [...]]]></description>

		<title>priorities &#8211; a cat, and me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was going to a game shop near Taipei Main Station to exchange my non-functioning copy of GRAW2 for a working one when I saw this:

My hope is that it may help somebody find more information about a film they&#8217;re going to see, or give people some titles of things to go look for.

		<title>Taiwan National Day Rehearsals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Coming home on my scooter after watching an opposite-of-upbeat set of animations collectively titled &#8220;Abused&#8220;, I found that I was not able to take the usual roads home as a policeman was diverting eastbound traffic on Hankou St. to the north.  There&#8217;s a lot of cops around and some military uniforms, so I get [...]]]></description>
