		<description><![CDATA[This past month seems to have gone by in a blur for me. Part of this blur in due to Aidan&#8217;s decision to try a bunch of new activities this fall. So, right now almost every day is booked with something&#8211;from gymnastics to robotics and everything in between! In addition to the variety of classes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Facebook is the largest social-networking site on net and in the world (with over 200 million active servers worldwide), and as of late, is garnering some very negative press around privacy concerns and lack of general ethics in how they conduct their business and treat their users. Personally, I don&#8217;t used FB, finding it far [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago, I became more aware of how my choices as a consumer have a real impact on the world around me, so Chris and I have set out to make some changes. We&#8217;ve been making relatively small, painless changes in our daily shopping habits, but yesterday we made a big change. We dumped [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having been a GNU/Linux user now for over three years, I have come to really appreciate this idea of &#8220;free software,&#8221; which until just recently I did not realize is not entirely the same thing as &#8220;open source&#8221; software. Many times it is very close to the same thing, but, fundamentally, there is a difference. [...]]]></description>

Sneekylinux has been publishing videos demonstrating Linux distributions for some time now. I&#8217;ve been following him and have appreciated his style and know-how. He&#8217;s shifted gears recently to include interviews with Linux [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This summer I&#8217;ve been experimenting with a new approach to teaching and learning online. I&#8217;ve officially (ok, secretly) broken from my institution&#8217;s BlackBoard learning management system in favor of an open-source, decentralized alternative. This summer &#160;&#160;A screaming fossil?we are using a WordPress MU installation bolstered by the social networking component BuddyPress and further supplemented with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having recently returned from the 4Cs conference, I&#8217;ve got all kinds of new ideas swimming around my head. A few of the sessions I attended addressed creative uses of social networking technology in the classroom. One such session focused on Twitter. Now, I have to say I&#8217;ve never really gotten the concept of Twitter. For [...]]]></description>
