		<title>Once again neglecting the blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once again I have not posted in a while.  Not like there haven&#8217;t been things to write about, the palm pre, iphone 3gs, n97 all released last month. Unfortunately I&#8217;ve been too busy to put my thoughts down.  Finally got caught up on my podcasts today so hopefully getting back to writing isn&#8217;t far behind.]]></description>

		<title>Nokia N97 Picture Gets Clearer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And now my favorite tech story of the week Nokia Europe and Nokia USA both began accepting pre-orders for the N97 yesterday. I have been excited for this phone for a while now. Mainly because I LOVE my N95, and it is currently being held together with electrical tape and a prayer.  ( Photo of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So it&#8217;s been too long since I posted, the short story is I have been busy, and generally in no mood to write when I get home.  I plan on making up for it by hopefully getting May off with a bang since two of my favorite topics have had some major developments in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seattle P-I To Print Last Issue Today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Seattle Post-Intelligencer announced that it will print it&#8217;s last issue today 3/17/09.  This is a sad thing for Seattle for sure, though they will still have a daily paper with The Seattle Times. There is something very different about reading a newspaper compared to a computer screen of even a eReader.  Unfortunally daily printed [...]]]></description>

		<title>GrandCentral gets Googlefied</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looks like Google has finally gotten around to bringing the GrandCentral site  closer into the Google family as &#8216;Google Voice&#8217;.  The site will get a make over that closely resembles the gmail interface.   In fact it would have been really cool if it was integrated into gmail at some point, which still may happen down [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kindle 2 Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From what I have been reading there are some fairly common complaints about the latest version of the Amazon Kindle.  The most popular of these seem to be, lack of touch screen, no color screen, no &#8216;open-ness&#8217; and price.  All of these I think would be nice features to have, but would come at a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Excuses, Excuses.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the lack of photo, didn&#8217;t want to link one from another blog and it&#8217;s late, but I just have to comment on this. From reading a post on Engadget it seems that their are at least some that feel that Apple pressured HTC into not installing a3.5mm headphone jack into the popular Google [...]]]></description>

		<title>This is new? The Verizon Hub.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes this is technically a new product from Verizon, only because for some reason none of the major carriers haven&#8217;t done this yet. Which is frankly pretty shocking.  High speed internet has been readly available for over 5 years,voice over IP (VOIP) for home use has been common for the last 3, why is someone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mobile Privacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[James Kendrick over on jkOnTheRun took an interesting leap from an a post written by Stacey Higginbotham at GigaOM on mobile advertising.  Now I have been a &#8216;victim&#8217; of mobile advertising since AT&#38;T who I have service from is one of the leaders in this area. I get a text message about once a month [...]]]></description>
