		<title>Fix for 2.2/Froyo update install problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We upgraded our Droids to 2.2 today, and while one upgrade went fine, the other went not so fine. As in, reboot loop hell not so fine. While it was up and barely responsive I noticed that there was a message about an operation being performed on the SD card, so I pulled it out [...]]]></description>

		<title>HackPGH trip report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[FINALLY made it to a HackPGH member&#8217;s meeting. It&#8217;s a nice little space, not in the best part of town, but at least there&#8217;s parking and the like. Many members have donated time and equipment to help set up the space, now they&#8217;re needing help with things like putting in A/C wiring and continuing to [...]]]></description>

		<title>stuff I&#8217;ve been up to</title>

		<title>Some tips for new cyclists in Pittsburgh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some notes from today&#8217;s ride Before you start cycling here, and especially before you move here or look for a place to live, go over to BikePGH and read up on the city. Get their fine cycling map and your riding will go much more smoothly. There&#8217;s a popular belief that Pittsburgh drivers are some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Street View vs. Your Privacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the middle of dealing with the permit process to build a deck off of our house, I read about the little oopsie Google had with collecting network data while running Street View. It took me less than one minute to come up with some great ways to &#8220;monetize&#8221; Google Street View data by selling [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thinking of building a Mendel&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Building the Makerbot Cupcake was pretty straightforward and it&#8217;s been a lot of fun playing with it. My biggest problem right now is the print envelope &#8212; 80mmx80mm is all you can realistically hope for, and that&#8217;s with a heated platform to control warpage. I&#8217;ve made some useful bits for my bike computer project and [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Aluminum Heated Build Platforms for the Makerbot Cupcake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More platforms back in the store and I dropped the price by $10. Now you have an option of a plate with no peripheral holes as well as an option for the nicrhome kit. Here&#8217;s how I set it up: using Kapton tape, I attached a loop of nichrome wire to the underside of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>another day, another facebook privacy policy screwup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do privacy and security stuff for a living, so I can honestly say that Facebook doesn&#8217;t have to make everything opt-in by default. They could just as easily do opt-neutral or even opt-out by default, but they&#8217;ve decided to err in favor of stalkers and data miners. Facebook has added a new privacy setting [...]]]></description>

		<title>obligatory lost prototype iPhone post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I pretty much agree with the entire daring fireball writeup except for one bit: Admittedly, it would be very hard to get someone on the phone at Apple who would know what a device such as this one is. Apple, like most large companies, deliberately makes it difficult for consumers to reach (non-retail) employees. There [...]]]></description>

		<title>twitter privacy problem?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I got an interesting screen on twitter: Now stop for a second and think about this. Twitter won&#8217;t reveal my phone number, but they will let people search for me by my phone number. So if I just search for all permutations of phone numbers for a given NPA (area code) and NXX (the [...]]]></description>
