		<title>Mail.app vs Sparrow.app: Gmail client showdown!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never been too excited about OS X&#8217;s Mail for GMail as I use tags extensively for GTD (based on this) and Mail seemed so&#8230; Outlook. My main reason for this is that Mail uses folders to represent tags, forcing me to choose just one tag instead of a Reference, Project, Context and Action. Overall, Google spends lots [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rails 3 &amp; freezing gems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I learned an important lesson today. The quick summary is &#8220;bundler makes freezing gems unnecessary, use &#8216;bundle install &#8211;deployment&#8216;&#8221;. But for those who like a good, geeky story: I&#8217;ve been updating/upgrading/refactoring a Rails 2 project as a Rails 3 project. We&#8217;d used the method described here to ensure that developer, testing &#38; production environments would [...]]]></description>

		<title>ActiveResource, FakeWeb &amp; Regex Mojo (authenticated edition)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have a web service which needs requires authentication, but you&#8217;re testing a completely different part of the application?  Again, FakeWeb &#38; Regex help you out here.  If you&#8217;re testing a model extended from ActiveResource by using FakeWeb, the url will look something like this:  1http://user:pass@example.com/someService To mock the request, use a regular expression like so: [...]]]></description>

		<title>More FakeWeb &amp; RegExp mojo (anchors edition)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using a lot of FakeWeb + Rspec for creating ActiveResource models BDD-style without hitting my RESTful source.  I keep on figuring out little things with FakeWeb that I feel like I should share. When you register uri&#8217;s with FakeWeb, and you&#8217;re using regular expressions, you might be building layers of access like this: [...]]]></description>

		<title>HAML/SASS and the Holy Grail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using HAML and SASS a lot lately because it&#8217;s kind of the best thing since sliced bread and ZenCode.  I&#8217;ve also been using Mathew James Taylor&#8216;s no-quirks-mode 3 column holy grail layout because: why re-invent the wheel (or in this case the Rube Goldberg Machine that is column layout in CSS). Matthew&#8217;s code [...]]]></description>

		<title>MVC &amp; BDD or &#8220;How I learned to stop worrying and love the test&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a long time now, I&#8217;ve known I needed to get better at testing. Not smoke testing, but real unit testing, test driven development (TDD), or better yet behavior driven development (BDD).  I&#8217;d read papers, API&#8217;s and even wrote some after-the-fact unit tests for a CakePHP project.  It always seamed overly laborious and time consuming.

		<title>RSpec, FakeWeb, Regexp; a gotcha</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my effort to be a better BDD/TDD (Behavior-Driven and Test-Driven Development) Developer, I&#8217;ve been diving into writing apps using RSpec for testing.  The nature of my work has me writing test where, in a non-automated-test environment, I would be using web services (SOAP and/or REST) to get and post data.  Now, obviously I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Open Letter to Vibram Regarding Five Fingers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sorry it&#8217;s come to this. I sent this email to Vibram 2 weeks ago, but have not heard a response. I suppose they don&#8217;t have to care because of the popularity of their FiveFingers product.  Well, I&#8217;d be curious to hear from others about durability issues. Here was my letter: Hello, I&#8217;ve been wearing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breakfast Burrito Review: Tia Sophia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I drove in to work in Santa Fe this rainy October morning, I was craving a breakfast burrito.  I pulled out my BlackBerry and a quick Google search rendered some site called BooRah with a page about breakfast burritos in Santa Fe. If you&#8217;ve ever tried using your BlackBerry web browser for any site [...]]]></description>
