		<title>The best workflow ever.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eye-fi. Buy it. It is the best device ever. Not just because of what it can do, but because of how it gets it done.
So, what does Eye-fi do? Simply put, it&#8217;s an SD card with wifi. When you take a picture it can geo-tag it based on nearby wifi hotspots using Skyhook data. Additionally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Droid Doesn&#8217;t</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought the droid on day one, this is why I returned it 30 days later.
Edit: There were many aspects about the droid that were awesome (Google Navigation and Google Contact sync: superawesome), but in this post I&#8217;m focusing on the aspects that gave me trouble. To that end I also am trying to not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vim tricks for %s and ^M</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Windows and, well everybody else, treat en-lines differently. When editing a Windows file under an editor such as vim at the end of each line a ctrl+m character is visibly displayed at the as ^M.
To remove the ^M characters at the end of all lines in vi, do this:

:%s/^V^M//g

The ^v and ^m characters are entered [...]]]></description>

		<title>David Pogue launches all-out war on canned voicemail messages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Repost from Engadget
You know, we love fighting the good fight &#8212; especially if it means calling out corporations on their untoward business practices. Today we&#8217;re joining David Pogue of the New York Times in calling foul on cellphone carriers&#8217; insistence that users be forced to listen to those maddening, pointless 15-second canned carrier messages.

		<title>An even shorter passwordless ssh tutorial</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My favorite passwordless ssh tutorial went offline, so here is my rehash of it.
Your server names will, of course, vary. Localhost is the machine you are currently on and, in my case, northisup.com is the server I&#8217;m SSHing into.

localhost$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
localhost$ cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub &#124; \
