		<title>Just Bought the HTC EVO 4G</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Sprint HTC EVO 4G is now mine to have and hold and there is a lot to have and to hold.  It is the widest and longest phone I have handled in the past 8 years.  It also is, hands down, the sexiest UI on the market (iPhone included) and makes brilliant [...]]]></description>

		<title>MongoDB Rails Skeleton</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a more than a few rails application skeletons now that make use of MongoDB and have various other common components so I thought it would be worthwhile to summarize them with a rails skeleton.  The skeleton can be found on github under johnwyles/skeleton.  The skeleton includes the following:

Persistence

MongoMapper
Validatable (overwritten by: johnwyles/validatable)

Authentication [...]]]></description>

		<title>kog: A Ruby implementation of The Open Graph Protocol by Facebook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I am sure many of you have heard Facebook announced their schema to assist with building the semantic web: The Open Graph Protocol.  And while Facebook clearly acknowledges they have not done anything particularly new or innovative with it, I think for many simply hearing the concepts and techniques spoken again by a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creating a Shared Git Repository For Multiple Users</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It took mashing together multiple articles, blog posts, and wikis to put this all together but I finally have a process for hosting a &#8220;centralized&#8221; shared git repository that honors file permissions for the respective users.  The way in which you do this is the following:
On the server:

sudo mkdir -p [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turning a Pickcle into a Cucumber</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had seen Cucumber before but never really had any time to dabble with it and now that I have I cannot put it down!  After setting up a skeleton Ruby on Rails application using Cucumber, Capybara, Devise, and FactorGirl (along with Haml, Compass, and MongoMapper) I decided to circle back and write some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun with Ruby and the Collatz Conjecture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been growing a little hungry to dive back into Ruby a bit and the opportunity arose after stumbling on reading about the Collatz Conjecture (of which there is a funny xkcd comic) and finding some spare time on a connecting flight.  It basically states that for any number, if you continually divide by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Money Sometimes is the Answer or A Hundred Ways to Make a First Impression</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I take the train each day into work and frequently encounter someone pedeling their wares or passing out flyers as I exit the terminal on my way in to work.  This day being no exception I encounter a female lunging at me with something in her hand while demanding &#8220;Here!&#8221;.  I&#8217;d been bothered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sessions in MongoDB using MongoMapper and Devise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found that setting up MongoDB to be a session store using MongoMapper was, at first glance, non-obvious: that is, until I discovered devise.  At first, I tried (and failed) to setup sessions in authlogic and then moved to the other end of the spectrum and attempted to role my own authentication and session [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google To Offer Fiber Optic Broadband</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just read an article from Google which piqued my interest: Google has announced that they will be offering fiber optic broadband as part of an experiment they are running.  This sparked one of those moments where a slow chuckle begins to turn into a rumbling thunder of laughter.  You see, as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>PHP Magic Accessors Make Me Want to Punch Babies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many know PHP have dynamic methods (or magic methods) for producing an environment that, at run-time, is much different than one conceives at first blush.  It is largely the inclusion of these magic methods that brought PHP forward and lead to many elegant and inventive solutions.  These can be found in nearly [...]]]></description>
