		<title>Wish List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday as I walked to campus to give a presentation, I was thinking about what I need in my life to be more successful.  I decided I should make a living document of my wish list for future reference for me and the generous gift givers in my life (read: mom+dad). Here we go.

		<title>Twenty20 ContourHD Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For Mina Yoo&#8217;s entrepreneurship 370 class, our group chose to do a study of Twenty20, a local company that makes wearable action sports cameras.  Their products are becoming more popular and can often be seen in use on the slopes.  Marc Barros, co-founder of the company, was kind enough to meet with us [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paul Anderson from ProLango</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This week we had an interesting speaker come in to ENTRE 370 and I thought I&#8217;d share some notes. Paul Anderson has worked for Amazon and Microsoft in Human Resources and now owns his own career development firm, ProLango.  He gave a very good talk on Monday; in my opinion, the best speaker we have [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPad First Impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apple announced its &#8220;latest creation&#8221; today and I have to say, I am not excited as I thought I would be.  I have been warming up to the idea of netbooks but I am not embracing this technology at the onset.

Steve said today in his keynote:
&#8220;&#8230;the problem is that netbooks aren&#8217;t better than anything!&#8221;

		<title>Death Board Test Run</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aaron and I were working on tuning the death board this week and we (he) discovered that the propeller was installed backwards! We fired it up and took it to the street for a ride. We got it up to 17 mph on flat ground and 21 mph down a hill. Under the current conditions, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death Board Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s been a while, but the engine-powered skateboard I started working on at the end of summer runs great! I clocked it with the GPS in my iPhone, and it currently tops out at 10.2mph on flat ground. It has a much smoother ride than I had expected; I surprisingly felt rather safe riding it.

		<title>Icebreaker Idea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I taught my first section of CSE 142 today and I was trying to come up with a creative ice breaker to start the class. Micah and I searched Google but didn&#8217;t really find anything out of the ordinary. Then I came up with a killer idea. Try it out and let me know how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Session Logging with PHP and mySQL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We had a need to keep track of when users were logging into our system. We use this data for sales, marketing and auditing the value of our site. The session logging is an extension of my previous post, Password-Protecting pages with goDaddy, PHP and mySQL server.

		<title>Password Protecting Pages With GoDaddy, PHP and mySQL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I host several domains with GoDaddy, and while they offer cheap prices, they also offer cheap service and features. Last week I needed to password protect some content. First, I tried to protect folders with htaccess and htpasswd files, but I could not get it to work. Several forums suggested GoDaddy hosting is not compatible [...]]]></description>

		<title>3 Legged Bicycle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I saw the most bizarre thing on Saturday while we were eating lunch on HWY 101 after some surfing. Luckily we were able to get out of the restaurant and catch up to the speedsters to snap this pic. If you look closely, the lady has a prosthetic leg, but the best part is she [...]]]></description>
