		<title>A Girl&#8217;s Self-Esteem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just recently found out about this short film done by Dove (hat tip: Tim O&#8217;Reilly). First word out of my mouth: &#8220;Wow&#8221;. The application of massive amounts of makeup for a photo shoot and post photo-retouching are things we all know about and they certainly should come as no surprise, but how interesting that Dove [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arthur C. Clarke, R.I.P.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got a bit of bad news today - Arthur C. Clarke has died. I was never much of a fan of Isaac Asimov, but Clarke really spoke to me as a young, geeky kid. He had a terrific imagination and a gift for storytelling. He&#8217;s also the source of one of my all-time favorite quotes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter, Redux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As previously mentioned, I had trouble getting my head around the concept of Twitter. While I&#8217;m still of the same general opinion (Do I really need to know you&#8217;re craving anchovies?), I&#8217;ve since come around a bit.
While I don&#8217;t contribute much (although I suppose I&#8217;ve been ramping up as of late), I find it extremely [...]]]></description>

OK, so Peggle might not be enough for you? Try Iconfactory&#8217;s Frenzic. A very fast-paced puzzle game with pieces reminiscent of Trivial Pursuit wedges.

Instapaper is a very handy site to have at hand, especially if you&#8217;ve got an iPhone (as you can see from above, it&#8217;s a very lightweight design). Basically, you create an account, install a droplet in your browsers and as you come across interesting sites you use the droplet to add a link to [...]]]></description>

OK, when you&#8217;re done wasting time with Peggle and want to be productive, CSSEdit is a great tool for web design. The auto-complete prompts that come up as you type CSS are such a great timesaver.

Amazing time-waster warning: Peggle (iPod, Windows). Once you get past the cartoony fantasy part, this is a very addictive game - pinball on steroids. Great fun!

Going and visiting my parents - and all the good Mom home-cooking that comes along with it! (Above is a pic of my parents&#8217; kitchen table).

		<title>(Un)Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, that was a disaster - tried updating the WP install, but it just went sideways somehow. Dealing with the actual WP update was fine (although tedious going back and forth), but ripping out the database and reinstalling from last Sunday&#8217;s backup was a real pain. Fortunately, I managed to undo everything from the update [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apologies for the delay in the usual 8:30am posting of the awesome bit today. Yesterday was Super Tuesday and Fat Tuesday (Super-Fat Tuesday?) - well, it also turned out to be Layoff Tuesday too, as I&#8217;m no longer working for Antec. They&#8217;re reorganizing the Marketing department and decided that they no longer wanted to do [...]]]></description>
