		<title>Big boy calling it quits.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve said this before, but this time I think I really mean it.  I&#8217;m going to officially (for the moment at least close up this blog, and move the action over to my Tumblog.  The reason being that I just find it easier to write there, because I can take things in smaller pieces, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prescient Markets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite phenomena over the past few years &#8212; and one of the stories I like to tell most about why the internet is awesome &#8212; is something I call &#8220;Prescient Markets&#8221;.  Marketplaces (or just producers in some cases) that take a large amount of the risk out of producing &#38; selling products [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple, and fun to use.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever you start a project (and I&#8217;m thinking about building websites and web applications), you are balancing two somewhat opposed goals: 1) get something working right away and 2) satisfy all your hopes and dreams. The first, I think, is a good instinct.  The second is the real challenge &#8212; it&#8217;s your wildest hopes and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Digital Power Tools</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past week, I spent some time cutting a hole in the wall in between our kitchen and our family room. It&#8217;s a project we&#8217;ve been talking about for a long time, and we considered lots of different ways of doing it before we actually got down to it. We were concerned about the cost, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Civic Startups (Web 2.0 Expo Slides)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week at the Web 2.0 Expo, I gave a talk on The Opportunity for Civic Startups.  I was filling in for Code for America&#8216;s Jen Pahlka, and the presentation itself is an hybrid of a version I did at the t=0 Entrepreneurship Festival at MIT a few weeks ago, a version Jen did at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Iteration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, I built some shelves in my closet. It was pretty simple affair &#8212; some pre-finished shelving boards, wooden corbels, and a rod for hanging things. What&#8217;s funny is that the supplies for all this have been sitting on the floor in my office for about eight weeks now. Every time my wife asks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wanted: The Self-Hiding Alarm Clock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning while cleaning up my office, I came across an old sketchbook from one of my design classes in college, circa ~1999.  In it was a gem of a product idea (if I do say so myself).  Without further adieu, here it is: The Self-Hiding Alarm Clock: So, who&#8217;s with me to set up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hello, Brieza!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two weeks ago, we were joined by the newest member of the fam: Brieza.  Brieza weighed in at a respectable 8 lbs 9 oz and has been busy sleeping away her days since.  So far, having 2 kids hasn&#8217;t been as overwhelming as some people suggested it might be, but I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;re just still [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Enterprise End-Run</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post has been a long time coming.  It&#8217;s the idea that keeps coming back; the slow hunch that&#8217;s been brewing and brewing for months.  For some reason, it&#8217;s taken me forever to actually write it out.  So here I finally go. Last Friday night, I had the pleasure of judging a round of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wheels on the Bus&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of 11am this morning, buses in Brooklyn are telling the internet where they are.  And I&#8217;m proud to say that our work is behind it. For the past several months, we&#8217;ve been working with the MTA on this one-line pilot, to demonstrate that it&#8217;s possible to achieve a workable bus tracking solution using existing [...]]]></description>
