		<title>What I&#8217;ve Been Up To Lately</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've always been able to sculpt - I've just never done it.  It's been a strange sensation, having that realization sitting around untested, occasionally surfacing and teasing me with possibility.  The very few times I've done anything along these lines it's blossomed easily under my hands - but it's never really been tested, because I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheap AR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[AR is the new VR that never was. Virtual Reality promised to create engrossing environments to fool the senses and transport the participant to amazing places and magical experiences. There are a few efforts still moving in that direction, but have drifted away from the head tracking helmets and input gloves used in earlier efforts [...]]]></description>

		<title>Level Headed Diatribe Against LGAT &#8220;Impact Training&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This material represents over a year's worth of reading, researching, and careful professional and personal studies in order to provide a informed, well-reasoned, educational viewpoint rather than my initial knee-jerk reaction to the topic. Presented here is my final conclusion on the matter for your review. I run the risk of offending a number of [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPad Press</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The iPad has garnered tons of attention before, during, and after its release. It was heavily anticipated, eagerly watched, and has created a firestorm of reviews after its announcements that range all over, but are generally whiny in some capacity or other. There is a lot about the iPad that was hoped for and that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Torpor 1.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of this morning, after extensive testing and its first production beta deployment (which did result in a few minor bug fixes), I am pleased to announce that Torpor has reached release 1.0 (slightly delayed to allow for other DataStore adapters and management of pigfluenza in the home, but close enough for open source). Things [...]]]></description>

		<title>Middling MIDI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About 12 years ago, while playing around with a friend's recording studio equipment, I had a chance to try out a Casio DH-100 - "DH" for "Digital Horn."  Basically a small saxophone-esque MIDI controller in the Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI, pronounced EE•wee - not especially dignified) category.  I was astounded at how, with the simple [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weight Reduction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is about my personal challenges with weight, and managing it in light of a metabolic disorder.  None of it is meant to be self indulgent or congratulatory, and I promise there are some geeky bits near the end for those patient enough to wade through the content or who want to skip to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zend Devzone PHP Abstract Podcast: Torpor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Eli White of Zend, "The PHP Company," for the Devzone podcast PHP Abstract (by and for PHP developers).  The topic of discussion was Torpor, what it is, what it offers, and why it's being developed. Despite my rambling on there's some useful information to be found [...]]]></description>

		<title>Torpor 0.9β Released!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 0.9 beta release of Torpor (all major features work, but only in MySQL and there's some definite clean-up and organization to be done) is available now: TorporPHP_0.9b.tar.gz (via Google project hosting) I also need to correct a statement I made earlier during the introduction of Torpor - this is not the first mature persistence [...]]]></description>

The first mature persistence layer abstraction for PHP, provided by Yours Truly under the MIT license. Link: torpor-php (via Google Project Hosting) The name is a direct take off of Hibernate since it provides very similar functionality for Object Relational Mapping.  It is not, [...]]]></description>
