		<title>Windows Vista - I&#8217;m going going, back back, to XP XP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may wonder why there is no pretty picture of Windows Vista&#8217;s Aero graphics. (You may also wonder what happened to Boomtrends. Turns out I have a really demanding job and a somewhat demanding social life.)  Back in November, I signed up for Microsoft&#8217;s &#8220;Powertogether&#8221; program, which encourages developers to adopt the latest out [...]]]></description>

		<title>BillMonk: Get Your Stuff Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in the last update (which was way too long ago), things are a bit hectic. I&#8217;m looking forward to adding a new section on the site to share just what I mean in the near future.

		<title>The Intermission&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a little over a month since you last heard from the Boomtrends crew and many people have asked what happened to us. Well&#8230;a lot has happened.

		<title>Phling - Putting your iPod in your Phone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do not own an iPod. I&#8217;ve been very tempted to get one, but I really don&#8217;t need another gadget to carry around.

		<description><![CDATA[
and use Kiva.org, a site that facilitates P2P microfinancing AKA adopting a developing world business . It works like the sponsor a child programs that we see infomercials for, however by giving to these loans you are practicing my friend Jammy&#8217;s motto: &#8220;You buy a man a burger he eats for a day; you find [...]]]></description>

		<title>Samsung Blackjack - Hardware, Go. Microsoft, No!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As an unstaffed consultant, there are certain freedoms such as late morning Friday jogs around the Marina. After oogling at pictures and tech specs of the Samsung Blackjack for the past week, I was ready to get my hands on it! I planned my jog to pass the Cingular store.

		<title>Orb 2.0 - Half-baked Bride of Frankenstein (In a good way)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

If Orb 1.0 was Frankenstein, Orb 2.0 is definitely related but prettier and more useful. For the mass-sumer, you may still want to wait for 3.0. As a traveling consultant, I&#8217;ve been using Orb for months to remotely access TV shows, mp3s and photos on my home PC. Think of it as a Slingbox for [...]]]></description>
