		<title>Practical Computer Science (Education) with Python</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I gave a presentation at the eTech Ohio conference titled &#8220;Practical Computer Science with Python.&#8221; For the past two years, I&#8217;ve been teaching computer science to upper schoolers at Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights, OH, and in the presentation I shared some of the reasons why I think Python is an excellent choice [...]]]></description>

		<title>Better 7-zip on Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I use Macs and I use Windows PCs. Sometimes I have a choice &#8211; sometimes I don&#8217;t. Overall, I&#8217;m definitely more of a fan of the general &#8220;Mac&#8221; user experience &#8211; focusing on making things &#8220;just work&#8221; with sensible defaults, and using as few clicks as possible to get things done.
On Macs, there is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mobi2Kindle &#8211; MobiPocket books on Kindle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another year, another blog post! If you&#8217;re not interested in reading backstory and just interested in getting MobiPocket DRM-protected books onto your Kindle, check out the Mobi2Kindle page at Google Code.
Not too long ago, I won an Amazon Kindle while attending the CS4HS workshop at CMU (Yay Google and other sponsors!). Perhaps not surprisingly, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>PEAR with XAMPP on Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alas, I find myself having to do some work on a Windows machine. I also find myself needing some additional PEAR libraries that don&#8217;t come pre-installed as part of XAMPP. I found the below commands in a comment at http://www.tohir.co.za/2006/07/pear-on-xampp-windows.html, and have taken the liberty to &#8220;re-translate&#8221; them. These instructions will setup MDB2 and the MySQL [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dynamic vhosts with XAMPP on OS X (with special DNS sauce)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently &#8220;refreshed&#8221; my Mac &#8211; I&#8217;d accumulated a fair amount of cruft in my attempts to install alternate versions of libraries, and decided that a fresh install of things would clear things up. I kept my wife&#8217;s user profile intact, since she hadn&#8217;t done anything funny in her user directories, but I decided to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Final Cut Express Hates 12-Bit Audio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing a significant amount of video work lately. This led to my recent purchase of Final Cut Express (It is so wonderful having a brother-in-law who&#8217;s an Apple Store employee), and with it many changes to my typical workflow. I&#8217;m used to using Sony&#8217;s Vegas Studio product for any editing that iMovie couldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Subversion on OS X with SCPlugin and SSH+SVN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I use Subversion with my own, personal projects, and about a year ago I started using it to track changes on clients&#8217; existing sites (No, I didn&#8217;t want THAT!). On my Windows dev machine, I used TortoiseSVN over an svn+ssh connection. While I don&#8217;t dislike the command line/terminal, I liked the filesystem integration of TortoiseSVN [...]]]></description>
