		<title>The Perfect Moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Years ago, I was working for a small company that sold software online. Every once in a while, we would be ready to release a new version of the software, or release a new version of the website, or we would have a large new ad campaign ready to go. And inevitably something would come up. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Delivering Happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t regularly read self-help books or business books. Or (auto)biographies for that matter. But I seem to have found an enjoyable intersection &#8211; the kind of &#8220;business biography&#8221;. One of the first ones I remember reading is &#8220;Masters of Doom&#8221; which covered the early life of id Software. More recently, I read &#8220;Founders at [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhones and iPads, and J2ME</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The iPad is out, and it has 256 MB of RAM. Which is the same as the 3GS.
In the J2ME days, one challenge was fighting weird, asymmetric constraints. I didn&#8217;t do a lot of J2ME development (in fact, very little), but hardware specs and system limitations were generally well documented by the community. There used [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day, my friend asked me when was the last time I got angry and really acted out.
Ignoring certain problems in my life (because), it&#8217;s been a really long time. I couldn&#8217;t think of an instance at the time, but now I recall an episode during my first post-college job in Santa Barbara. No, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Practice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How do you get good at something? What if you aren&#8217;t &#8220;talented&#8221;?
You practice. This thread follows one person&#8217;s journey from absolute beginner to master. After 6+ years of daily sketching and practice, he now shows in galleries and teaches art. Here is his website.
A lot of talented people have worked hard for their talents.

		<title>Recently</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been working on recently:

My putting. (If you&#8217;re viewing this through an RSS reader like Google Reader, you might be missing the pretty embedded graph.)
No, I&#8217;m kidding. I have been working on my putting (and I&#8217;m happy with my improvements), but I wanted to show you TallyZoo. I think we have a buzzwordy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goals/Resolutions for 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2010 is nearly upon us. I&#8217;m perfectly happy to leave 2009 behind. Not that a new calendar is going to magically change anything. 2009 was memorable and at the same time forgettable. Meh.
Businessy/money goals:

Increase my revenue by 20%. On a cash accounting basis, I ended up doing 10% more in 2009 than in 2008. This [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Thing I Learned About Myself In 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I learned about myself this year is that I am an optimist.
I am certainly cynical in (many) ways, but in the end I am an optimist. I believe people will act selfishly and in their own self interest, but I also believe that most people generally will not go out of their way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sending small TCP packets on the iPhone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WTH is up with the iPhone TCP stack in 3.1.2? Something changed since 2.x (since 3.0?) and I get huge (relatively speaking) lag with small packets even with TCP_NODELAY. Or maybe they&#8217;re due more aggressive power management changes? I&#8217;ve had to rewrite my network code and event handling to compensate. But even then it doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Choices</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Months ago, during summer, I was watching Journeyman on Hulu. I&#8217;ve been watching a lot of TV lately. I&#8217;ve probably watched more in the last year than the couple years before combined. I guess it takes your mind off of things. I read a study somewhere indicating that the fake (one way) social interaction you [...]]]></description>
