		<title>Tough-Guy Tech Terminology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry I haven&#8217;t posted in a while. It&#8217;s vacation time and I was just in Vegas, which is now one of my favorite places. So, to honor the spirit of Vegas, I have compiled a random list of off-the-cuff, sort-of cool terms used by the toughest of techs&#8230;

		<title>Death to eBay, Long Live StubHub</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Did you know that eBay users can retract their bids? Yeah, it blew me away too except I found out the hard way. Recently I purchased season tickets to the Washington Capitals, and as a bonus, I was given the option to purchase additional reserved tickets to the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Hoping to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ It&#8217;s fitting that my time exploring the hills of San Francisco had its ups and downs.  I had some bad days and I had some good days,but they balanced out and resulted in a richer and more impacting experience.

		<title>Day 4 of Trip &#8211; Wake-Up San Francisco!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like their organic food, vintage clothing, and analog instruments, leave it to hippies and liberal scenesters to project value onto things that produce the same old shit. Being from Baltimore, it&#8217;s pretty difficult for me to be anything less than amazed when I visit another city but somehow San Francisco managed to pull this off [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day 3 of Trip to Google IO &#8211; In The Court of The Crimson King</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a difference a day can make! All the tech snobbery in the world couldn&#8217;t hold a candle to the handful of legends I came across today. Before I go any further and risk losing your attention, shout-outs go out to the following heroes of life&#8230;

		<title>Day 2 of Trip to Google IO &#8211; First Day of Conference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Waking up at 6:30AM is not something I do very frequently working a late shift. However, doing this on the west coast made it seem like 9:30AM, which is a lot more agreeable. Arrival to Google IO was just about what I expected it to be. So many nerds and people with laptops, all my [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ve Been Messing With Plesk!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I admit that I haven&#8217;t been too good lately at writing and updating this blog. Apologies go out to anyone that has been greeted with disappointment and that gnome graphic from my last post eagerly awaiting an update. I can&#8217;t be too hard on myself though because it&#8217;s not a product of laziness, I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your Network, and Torrent Ports Explained</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ It seems the vast majority of broadband internet subscribers are content when their internet is working, enraged when it&#8217;s not, and oblivious to its fundamental mechanics.  One of the most fascinating and visible phenomenons of technology is an ongoing disassociation between the consumer&#8217;s perception and their understanding of value. In short, new technologies [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Buy Stuff Cheaper Online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shopping &#8220;in-store&#8221; or &#8220;brick and mortar&#8221; retail will likely exist only as a memory at some point in our (my) lifetime. The only occasions I find myself in a store is when I&#8217;m grocery shopping, looking for clothes, or for the sake of entertainment.  Still, it seems there are parents and other people out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Do I Own So Many Domains? Is Domaining Even Real?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past two years, I have spent over $1,000 acquiring approximately 160 domain names. Recently, I renewed most of them despite earning little to no revenue and receiving zero offers or inquiries from interested parties. As I write this, my skepticism as to the profitability and legitimacy of domaining has reached a peak, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Match.com&#8230; Like to Pay for Sausage Parties?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The purpose of my writing this is to hopefully help some lonely young lovers save their money and invest in themselves. Additionally, it&#8217;s a way for me to get back at these companies by publicly documenting how both are ineffective and how Match.com just simply ripped me off.
People are generally embarrassed to reveal that they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quit Smoking With Video Games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been over a year now since I quit smoking. For me, the hardest part of the quitting process was the first three days.
