		<description><![CDATA[Very busy, but stumbled across something which made me cry with joy (really). I have noticed that one of my favorite groups of all time POE has been featured in a some commercials recently (Iron Chef and Ford) Then I found this &#8216;hidden&#8217; gem: http://www.repoezessed.com/movs/teaserfinal.mp4 Update 6 months later: http://realpoe.ning.com/ I will blog again someday&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Picnic Table: Part 0, wood issues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am planning on building a picnic table, and to build it with my son. I have been looking for plans for one that I like for quite some time. All have similar problems, in that they are too small, or I do not trust, or require lumber of dimensions which require building out of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Season 2!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love anime. Not your normal anime. 99% of what hits the US and 99% of what ends up on US TV is utter crap. The exceptions are &#8220;Ghost in the Shell&#8221;, and some of the very old stuff from my childhood (Macross). I would say that 80% of what is shown on TV in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trademarks [by them selves] are NOT a Menace to Open Source</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I should be asleep, but I accidentally came across this article calling Trademarks a hidden menace to Open Souce. At it&#8217;s heart I agree that Trademark law is not properly understood by the community at large and could be a major problem for some projects. Beyond that it&#8217;s is just a mess. The start of [...]]]></description>

		<title>PyCon 2009 Voting Raw Data</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year we tried something new to get feedback from attendees this year. After a talk you would put little plastic bingo chips into one of three buckets to vote. We also have a talk interest system on the schedule where we get a count on what talks people are selecting. I captured the data [...]]]></description>

The full count is not determined yet (due to sponsor passes, financial aid, and a few minor issues) but attendance will be around 850, but could be as high as 900.

		<title>HELP!!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, I just put up a post on the PyCon blog asking for help, and I have to say I dropped the ball here. I could come up with a number of excuses, but the truth is I should have gotten out a call for volunteers months ago. So if you are going to PyCon [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apologies to Ned Blatchard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Right now (as I am typing this) Ned Batchelder is giving his &#8220;A Whirlwind Excursion through C Extensions&#8221; talk at the Boston Python Meetup. This is a talk which he will be giving at PyCon; a talk I argued for as part of the program committee (with full conflict of interest information given). It is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sarah Walks Monkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sarah learned to walk by herself for the first time today by holding onto a toy stroller. Kim was lucky to have her camera on hand at the time. (How do you rotate video on OSX? YouTube doesn&#8217;t have this as an edit option?)]]></description>

		<title>Book Meme</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Figures I was sitting on the couch when I read this instead of at work, or in the computer room, or.. well anywhere else in the house. That meant I had a choice of grabbing highlights (which counts as a magazine&#8230;) and leave me reaching over and putting my hand on the book next to [...]]]></description>
