		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to inspire myself to write here more, I am doing a bit of a code refresh. I have simplified the style considerably and thrown away a lot of odds and ends. No more bookmarks. No more sidebar. Practically no navigation at all. I even ditched the polar bear. As I start using [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I left Delicious a year ago, I had two simple reasons. First, Delicious was painfully stupidly slow. Second, Delicious had obviously been abandoned by its developers, since it remained stagnant for the previous year despite all the problems. So I moved over to Ma.gnolia which was bright, speedy and engaged with their community. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, new rule! If I select the same preference customization when an application starts ten consecutive times, that application must remember and execute that customization permanently. If not, I get ten dollars from the manufacturer for every subsequent failure. It should remember it on the first try. But ten! Ten is insulting. I think this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I apparently missed this news back in December. I have been re-watching seasons 1-3 of Battlestar Galactica in anticipation of the fourth and final season. I went to iTunes to sign up for the season pass of downloads&#8230; and it&#8217;s gone. Apparently NBC wanted $4.99 per episode and Apple said no. In fact, Apple said [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, while at the local California Tortilla, we spied a Maybach parked illegally in front of our local Starbucks. For those who have never heard of the Mayback, they are seriously rare and seriously expensive. It is a huge Mercedes-built luxury sedan for the uber-rich (background: the Maybach was Daimler&#8217;s response to BMW purchasing Rolls-Royce). [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I use del.icio.us to archive the things I&#8217;ve read for later retrieval or for sharing. I use it to help manage to torrent of information coming across my desk (or phone) through email and RSS. It acts like a sort of supplementary memory so can I focus on other things. And on the whole, I [...]]]></description>

The trick is to drag the del.icio.us bookmarklet into the Safari toolbar on your computer; and then sync it with your phone. ITunes will place the bookmarklet on your phone&#8217;s browser. To invoke it, simply select that bookmark while viewing a [...]]]></description>
