		<title>RDBMS isn&#8217;t going anywhere soon.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Greg Young wrote an opinion piece that partially blames incorrect or failing systems on development teams that don&#8217;t spent enough effort thinking how they will persist data. Your not carefully deliberating whether or not to throw out all your rdbms database tooling, training, and experience? Shame on you says Greg. 
Why are you not just using [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rain Dancers and Bone Casters &#8211; The Management Myth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve been confronted with software development strategies like SCRUM and Waterfall.  So far I&#8217;ve observed that Waterfall didn&#8217;t work because people didn&#8217;t have common sense ( you mean customer feedback is important? ) and that SCRUM and Agile are most beloved by highly paid consultants and people that don&#8217;t want to bother thinking about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Titles are given out like candy these days&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kurt Greenbaum, &#8221;Social Media Director&#8221; for Stltoday.com, did the worst thing possible a &#8220;Social Media Director&#8221; could do.  He abused the privacy of a social media participant and then tried to justify his abuse to the social media using community. To summarize ( original reddit.com threads here and here )  Ken Greenbaum tracked down a user [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lasers, Mirrors, and Egyptions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cool post title right?
Most websites miss the point when it comes to displaying information that their visitors actually care about.  Recently I was searching for some dog kennel software and was amazed that only 70%ish of the companies I found failed to display a single screenshot of their product on their website. 100% failed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bookmark Shaving #6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bookmark shaving sounds so much better.
Amusing collection of programmer quotes:
http://www.storm-consultancy.com/blog/other/classic-programming-quotes/
My favorite:
&#8220;Saying that Java is good because it works on all platforms is like saying anal sex is good because it works on all genders&#8221;
I should use this when the group I&#8217;m working with is talking about the pros and cons of Silverlight&#8230; And by &#8220;I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cleaning out the Bookmarks #5 &#8211; Hope Driven Development</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure why I bookmarked this one as I disagree with the authors point and the way he presents it.
http://www.makinggoodsoftware.com/2009/05/12/hdd/
Read it and make up your own mind.  This is the kind of post that advocates you assume the software your writing is going to be responsible for sending somebody to Mars and get them [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cleaning Out the Bookmarks #3 &#8211; Building a Stackoverflow inspired knowledge exchange.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now the title of this link is misleading here.  There is almost no code.
The majority of the article is all about how to setup continuous integrationish like features over the top of a project.  I haven&#8217;t set up build scripts or single click deployment yet but have been meaning to give this guide a look [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[#2
Lots of my bookmarks are things I meant to get around to using or learning at some point and this link is no exception.
Well, it is, as I used it, but for my purposes it just didn&#8217;t work out well.

This link contains a nice and quick code snippet to change focus on related elements when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cleaning Out the Bookmarks 1 &#8211; Eye Candy Is  Business Requirement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shaving the bookmark/desktop icon collection in preparation for a Windows 7 upgrade, thought I&#8217;d at least want to keep them around on the blog.  Most of these bookmarks are things I bookmarked to blog about, but never got around to it:
#1 Good collection of slides about how important a creating an appealing user experience really is.
