		<description><![CDATA[A classmate of my daughter was too shy to present her social studies final project. So my daughter offered to record her presentation at home, boost the voice, and give the recording to the teacher. Brilliant. The teacher has accepted. It&#8217;s wonderful that this is not a particular remarkable use of technology these days. But [...]]]></description>

You should be able to write one single sentence of documentation for each method. Tell people when a colleague does good work. Do what you want or must, but maintain control [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve created plenty of technical solutions that were demonstrably effective, yet failed to change the world because they were not integrated with the users&#8217; personal culture (or lifestyle) and social culture (or ecosystem). For years I’ve been analyzing these connections on this blog, and I expect I’ll still be learning for years to come. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How often have I felt that I had to create Z, but before doing that I had to build Y. And of course before doing either, I really needed to find out how X affected either. This evil has many forms: feature creep, analysis paralysis, and so forth. I know it&#8217;s crap when other people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Judge Alsup announced his findings on copyright as an order in the Oracle vs Google case. I&#8217;m surprised that I haven&#8217;s seen any discussion in my usual social channels. I can&#8217;t imagine why not. The narrow conclusion is that the Java API is not protectable by copyright. I found the judge&#8217;s order to be extraordinarily [...]]]></description>
