		<title>Foursquare Partnering With Big Brands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the idea of checking in to locations quickly becomes a commodity, Foursquare is differentiating itself from the pack (see Yelp, Gowalla) by partnering with a lot of big brands.  There&#8217;s been a flurry of deals showing up over the last couple weeks and I think it will only continue to snowball as other companies [...]]]></description>

		<title>How To Setup XAMPP For Web Development</title>

		<title>Bing Travel Search</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently needed to book a plane ticket, which is something I hate doing because it seems nearly impossible to know when to buy to get the lowest price.  In the past I have used Kayak and Orbitz, which are good at identifying low prices at the times I want, but they are not good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dusting Off The Nintendo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I dug out the old Nintendo this week and got my fix of Dr. Mario, Duck Hunt and a few other games.  Maybe I&#8217;m just easily amused, but despite all of today&#8217;s fancy game consoles I still like to go back to the oldies. I like the pixelated graphics, 8-bit soundtracks and finicky cartridges.

		<description><![CDATA[
First post.  Let&#8217;s see where this goes.  If you&#8217;re viewing this post then you made my poor Frankenstein server that hosts this site groan.  It&#8217;s cobbled together out of old spare parts, but it gets the job done for now and is proof that there is always some life left in old computer parts.
