		<title>Under Reconstruction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll spare the mid-90&#8217;s concrete mixer animations, and simply say that this site is long overdue for a redesign and a reinvigoration of content.  It is on the way.

		<title>SMS: The Election Secret Weapon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally published in the Hamilton College Spectator on October 24, 2008.
Remember those simpler times when we didn&#8217;t know who Senators McCain and Obama would pick as their Vice-Presidential nominees?  It feels like decades ago, but there was  a time before &#8220;Hockey Mom&#8221; was a punchline and the media thought &#8220;Gaffezilla&#8221; was a poorly foreign translated movie.  It [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Future&#8217;s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades: Predicting the Future &amp; The Origin of the iMac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Andy Baio posted a 1987 internal video from Apple predicting the year 1997, I was instantly reminded of the accompanying video from Bill Gates&#8217; 1995 tome, The Road Ahead.
So here they are &#8211; in their entirety:
Apple Time Capsule (1987 -&#62; 1997):

 
The Road Ahead &#8211; Home (1995 -&#62; 2004):

The Road Ahead &#8211; Education (1995 -&#62;2004):

 
Also, [...]]]></description>

		<title>David Cameron and Barack Obama: Time for change means taking time to think</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tory leader David Cameron and Barack Obama certainly have a lot in common, including a shared belief that &#8220;thinking time&#8221; and relaxation are essential to fulfilling the offices they both aspire to.
In the year since he became the leader of the opposition Conservative Party, the charismatic 41-year old Cameron has reinvented British conservatism and revitalized [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old and Busted. New Hotness. Or why Hulu matters.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, a major media buyer released a report on the average viewership age for network television programming.  It concluded that the average age of network television viewers was now 50.
Lets take a look at the live viewership per network:
And now lets look at DVR viewership over a 7-day period per network:
Notice anything?

		<title>App Store vs. apt-store</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being a completely new linux user used to suck.  Not because there wasn&#8217;t much software for it, but as a completely new user, it was difficult to install the software you wanted.  Software had to be compiled by the end user.  You&#8217;d have to go out and get source to the software you wanted, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Verizon, Parental Controls, and the Social Network Ban</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Verizon has been blocking all social networks from their users until they build in parental controls.  That&#8217;s a good thing.
I&#8217;ve been using the location-driven social network BrightKite pretty heavily in the past few weeks (and it&#8217;s made me realize that I&#8217;m the only one who uses it since Fairfield County is not a web-hipster enclave), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama In Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, I heard Nas&#8217; brilliant track Black President off his new &#8220;untitled&#8221; album, and it made me begin to realize the massive cultural impact of Barack Obama.  Barack Obama hasn&#8217;t just inspired Will.I.Am&#8217;s Yes We Can video, but a fairly substantial collection of tracks from a particularly influential group of artists all across the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brown Suits and Bright Apples</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Walking through Grand Central, I saw a mid-60&#8217;s executive in a tan suit working out of a tan lock, latches, and leather briefcase.  Inside his case was a Macbook Air.
First it was the white earbuds, then it was the white plastic and brushed metal with lighted Apple logos across college campuses.  Now, iPhones and Airbooks [...]]]></description>
