		<title>Oh no, it&#8217;s almost Friday&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be out of the office for a few hours tomorrow morning. After some severe discomfort/pain the other day, my doctor wants me to get my gall bladder checked out, so I&#8217;m going in early tomorrow for an ultrasound to see if I have gallstones.
Best case scenario: I have gallstones, and we schedule me to [...]]]></description>

		<title>On ad blocking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently started blocking ads in my browser. I don&#8217;t actually mind advertising, and I resisted blocking ads for a long time. I understand that some sites rely on ad revenue to earn a living, and I&#8217;m fine with that.
Why, then, have I started blocking ads?
Simple. Companies that insist on using tricks to try to [...]]]></description>

		<title>MDC upgrade progress report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve blogged before, we&#8217;re trying to upgrade the Mozilla Developer Center to the &#8220;Noatak&#8221; release of MindTouch (version 9.12).
Unfortunately, we&#8217;re still having trouble getting the RSS feeds on the staging server to work and so far nobody can figure out why. We&#8217;re still working with the support guys at MindTouch, trying to figure this [...]]]></description>

Do you enjoy teaching people how to make awesome stuff happen?
Do you have great writing skills and a knack for figuring out how stuff works by looking at the code?

		<title>CSS transitions in Gecko</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Current Firefox nightlies have support for the bleeding-edge CSS transitions specification. I&#8217;ve spent the last few days playing with this feature, and have written some examples as well as reference and how-to documentation for using them.
CSS transitions make it easy to smoothly animate changes to CSS styles, instead of changes taking effect instantly. With a [...]]]></description>

		<title>MDC upgrade status report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re working toward upgrading the Mozilla Developer Center from MindTouch 9.08.3 to MindTouch 9.12. We&#8217;re going through some testing and tweaking on our staging server at the moment, and hope to deploy very soon. At the moment we&#8217;re sorting out a glitch with the RSS feeds on the staging server not loading properly.
The 9.12 release [...]]]></description>

		<title>What would make MDC easier for you to use?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a little over a week, I&#8217;m going to be having a meeting with some folks from MindTouch to discuss ideas for features that would make their software easier and better for collaborative documentation projects like ours.
Obviously, this is very exciting, and I&#8217;d like to be sure to bring lots of good ideas along with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bringing kick-ass graphics to the web in 3D</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spent the last week and a half or so writing about WebGL, the in-progress specification to bring real-time 3D graphics to the web. This is a very, very cool technology done &#8212; in my opinion &#8212; in the right way: instead of inventing a whole new API, WebGL takes the established and well-regarded OpenGL [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t blogged for a while. Things have been&#8230; well, busy. Between having the flu twice over the fall (which I did blog about), then pneumonia, then the crazy amount of writing I&#8217;m trying to get done for Firefox 3.6 (which may be a relatively small release, but given the compressed timeline is actually a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Epic food fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight, we all went out to Chili&#8217;s for dinner. It was an&#8230; interesting experience. We went in, got a table, and all that, no problem. Then our server came around and took our drink order. No problem. While he brought drinks, I debated back and forth between a burger, fajita quesadilla, or fajitas, but finally [...]]]></description>
