		<title>Can You Put Lipstick on a Path?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The new Path user interface is gorgeous. Dave Morin&#8217;s team has come up with a user experience that will change the way that people think about application design.  Path abandons the standard bottom toolbar that most consumer behavior oriented applications have for 2 buttons in the sticky header and a red plus sign that looms [...]]]></description>

		<title>An iPhone 4S Experience That Would Make Steve Jobs Cringe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I missed the delivery of my iPhone. I should have had it sent to work, but sometimes work deliveries do not go the way I want them to so I figured it would be easier to just have it sent home where my wife would be able to sign for the package.

		<title>Location on Facebook is Not Dead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Facebook recently announced that they were taking away the ability to check in, thus killing their offering, Facebook Places.

		<title>What if Ditto Uberfies?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last exciting post, I talked about how Ditto unleashes the power of semantic data and how awesome it would be if you could harness the power of the data behind a location in foursquare or Gowalla or a dish in one of my favorite applications,foodspotting.
