		<title>it&#8217;s All Around Podcast 002: The Big Box, a response</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a response to The Diary of a Cartoonist Episode 144, in which Scott Johnson muses on the common controversy surrounding WalMart.  I recommend you listen to his podcast (~10 minutes long) before you listen to this response.
For me, the issue isn't about the free market vs. regulation or capitalism vs socialism, it's about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Talk about Txting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The census numbers are in.  The results are staggering and disturbing.  People are... sending text messages.
It is always entertaining to watch a behavior such as text messaging develop over years, firmly embed itself in culture then all the sudden bust into the media.  Recently, we've had a one-two punch of no-texting-while-driving legislation and census figures. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lua Basics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was asked by a colleague to research the Lua programming language.  We are creating interactive television apps and will be using it if/when we develop for Verizon Fios.

		<title>Grok</title>
		<description><![CDATA["Grok means to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed—to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science—and it means as little to us (because of our Earthly assumptions) as color means to a blind man."
