		<title>It&#8217;s That Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve noticed that a blog has become almost obsolete for me.

		<title>TMail + MySpace = Fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up until last Wednesday, I was a proud owner of a T-Mobile Sidekick. As many of you know, the Sidekicks support their own email system at tmail.com, which I found pretty useful for push email notifications regardless of my current location.

		<title>Fresh Theme and Business Card Site</title>

It&#8217;s got some new colors similar to my Twitter profile, a new header design, and some nifty Javascript I talked about yesterday, called Cufon.

I thought over some ways to remind myself when more content needed to be moderated, and landed on a great idea &#8211; have the website text message me. It didn&#8217;t take [...]]]></description>
