		<description><![CDATA[The project I finished last week was a proof of concept native iPad application. Given that I&#8217;m normally a web-based developer, this was a decent deviation from my normal routine. I want to jot down some impressions for others that may be considering a crossover. For context, I&#8217;ve been developing server-side web applications for over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have converted to a standup workstation. To be clear, this is a motorized, height adjustable desk, used mostly in the standing standing position. I won&#8217;t make this about why you should try a standing workstation, but I&#8217;ll share my motivations and lessons learned, on the chance that it may inform your own debate. Why did [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is a transition point for me: I officially start a new role tomorrow (same company, different division). What&#8217;s key about this  new role is how it fits into my growing awareness of the importance of focus, and how the lack of focus has been a source of stress and unhappiness. I used to describe myself [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Couch to 5k is a 9 week running schedule to take you from being a couch potato to being able to run a 5k. I finished it yesterday, with 3 runs this week, a total of 11.5 miles, at about a 9min/mile pace. I wanted to put some notes about the experience out there, for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I reached a milestone today with my GTD project: it became usable enough that I can use it to track what I&#8217;m working on for its development.  In programmer&#8217;s parlance, that&#8217;s eating my own dogfood.  Granted, the food tastes pretty bland and requires extra chewing, but it&#8217;s edible. A lot of personal projects are born [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started my first Grails project today, using the basic project in NetBeans.  I was going to start with vanilla Groovy, but learning thick client Java seemed like more work than going whole hog into Grails. I&#8217;ve said for some time, I&#8217;m scared to try Groovy/Grails, since I&#8217;ll probably get angry at all the time [...]]]></description>
