		<title>Have You Seen TV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Working on a project with some friends &#8211; hys.tv.  It&#8217;s a way to make strings of youtube and vimeo videos into a curated TV show.  The premise is that the assemblage of videos makes something more valuable.  It&#8217;s kind of fun, and used on an ipad can make youtube into more of a lean-back type [...]]]></description>

		<title>Handy Dandy PHP script to clean phone numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I needed a quick way to clean a bunch of phone numbers, I wanted to do it in excel but excel doesn&#8217;t do PHP, and the example I found was in PHP and it seemed to work well. So I used textmate, and pulled together the basic script with a fopen command to suck up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ecology Action</title>

		<title>Whitehat Hacking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I got one of those typical phishing attack emails.  On a whim I decided to have a quick look at the source, to see where it was going.  The source indicated a free host in the U.S. &#8211; something you don&#8217;t usually see&#8230;usually it goes overseas.  So I went there and much to my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drupal for Municipalities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I started on the Brisbane, CA site I have been interested in making Drupal work better for cities.  The fact that so many government agencies are glued into proprietary solutions, especially aspx based systems, is not just silly or sad but actually a real problem.  I&#8217;d like to see open source in general, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ruby on Rails Video Editing Platform</title>

		<title>City of Brisbane, California</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The City of Brisbane hired me to completely overhaul their site &#8211; visually and architecturally.  I was able to choose the platform and so I proposed Drupal.  I&#8217;m happy with it because it really allows Drupal to shine as a content management system.  It allows for the city staff to upload video of council meetings [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marlin Developer Community</title>

It worked out well in ways that are not immediately visible: the backend integration and the fact that the client is able to maintain it themselves. Drupal worked very [...]]]></description>

		<title>To tease or not to tease</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was never a huge fan of teasers.  They just seemed to be an annoying way to break one&#8217;s flow while reading and inhibited scanning someone&#8217;s blog.  But when making a blog they are nice!  Is it just me or is it really something writers like and readers don&#8217;t I wonder.  Certainly the re-do of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Working in wordpress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow! Blogging has gotten easier, or maybe it&#8217;s more that I haven&#8217;t given wordpress a fair shake since I got into Drupal several years ago&#8230;trying this new theme, (tanzaku) a Japanese one that resizes automatically.  It&#8217;s a re-think of &#8220;dynamic width&#8221; &#8211; the articles float into columns based on the window size, which is a great [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marlin site totally done</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jan 19, 2009 I got word a couple weeks ago that there will be no new features added to the Marlin site. That&#8217;s ok, it&#8217;s quite stable and the fact that Intertrust can manage it on their own and don&#8217;t need me is testament to how well Drupal works. Looking for work &#8211; it&#8217;s certainly [...]]]></description>

But honestly, it&#8217;s been really busy &#8211; DRM for video in particular is really getting a lot of attention. Lately I have been reccomending to all my clients that want to put video online to simply [...]]]></description>

The difference was staggering &#8211; the freshness at the OSCMS was exhilirating whereas the mood at SD West among the attendees at least was, well dour.

They range from the totally trivial to the rather elaborate. Note that Netflix is now running a contest to imporive its rating system. 1. Browsing and choosing movies.
