		<title>Marketeering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Marketing people tend to get a bad rap, especially in software.  Just read a few Dilbert comics about the soulless folks in marketing and you&#8217;ll get a gist of their status.  I&#8217;m not suggesting that it&#8217;s entirely undeserved either, but not all marketing folks are dishonest, horrible people.  On the contrary, I&#8217;ve worked with many [...]]]></description>

Don’t forget to buy Design, Code, Test, Repeat.  It’s a fun, funny, and helpful read.
Recently, I&#8217;ve gotten to the point in my release cycle where I&#8217;m almost ready for Beta(!) on my IDE for uCLinux uboot, kernel, and application development, Fusion MMX.  Building it has been a lot of fun and very educational as well.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eating Your Own Cooking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing like eating your own cooking to tell you how the food is.  Unfortunately, the pride we get from doing it ourselves can sometimes cloud our judgment.  The same thing applies to just about any other human endeavor.  People often have an inflated opinion of themselves and what they have or can accomplish (I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gads, I&#8217;ve been writing software for a long time.  I started my professional career in 1986, writing LISP on Symbolics machines.  Back then, there was no web (well, not as we know it today) on which you could look up easy answers to coding problems, share toolkits, or converse with other developers (well, there was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perfect Gift for a Software Engineer/Programmer/Manager</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The time of year has rolled around once more where gift-giving is the order of the day.  Sure, this is a shameless plug (have I ever claimed to be shameful?), but I can&#8217;t think of a better gift for your friend, spouse, colleague, or manager than my book &#8211; Design, Code, Test, Repeat.  It&#8217;s probably [...]]]></description>

Don’t forget to buy Design, Code, Test, Repeat.  It’s a fun, funny, and helpful read.
Some authors are releasing books based on blog entries.  Well, I&#8217;m going to go the other way around.  I&#8217;m going to publish a few blog entries based on my book,  Design, Code, Test, Repeat.  Here are a couple of sections from [...]]]></description>

		<title>2D Graphics?  What&#8217;s that?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t forget to buy Design, Code, Test, Repeat.  It&#8217;s a fun, funny, and helpful read.
I don&#8217;t see a great need to go into too much background on 2D graphics, because the implementation in hardware frame buffers and display is not of interest to most programmers.  What is interesting when you have to do some programming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was reading Jeff Atwood&#8217;s post yesterday entitled, Email: The Variable Reinforcement Machine.  In it, he suggests that checking email frequently makes you less productive.  He goes on to say that various types of communication are better forums for some information than sending out emails.  As overuse of email has been a pet peeve of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Run Away From This College (The Worst Salespeople)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been traveling with my family lately looking at colleges.  In April, we visited several in New England.  Campus visits usually have two main components &#8211; an information session and a tour.  They are both opportunities for colleges to show off their campuses and overall educational programs.  Unfortunately, most only do a reasonable job on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morphing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been writing code for a long time &#8211; professionally, since 1986.  In that time, I&#8217;ve learned tricks and strategies for making it more robust, more flexible, faster, etc.  I&#8217;ve planned software to the nth degree and I&#8217;ve written it off the cuff.
I&#8217;m a firm believer in prototyping.  I like to get something up and [...]]]></description>
