		<description><![CDATA[Last week it occurred to me that I was bothering Nick a bit too much for his knowledge of electronics.  He has been pretty happy to assist me as I explore his realm of expertise, however I think i have a bit too many questions.   I decided to find an alternate source of reference material and found O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So after receiving my arduino last week from Seeed studio, I have been itching to give it a roll.  Unfortunately, as I mentioned before, I stupidly forgot to pick up a breadboard so I have been pretty limited to what I can do.  That has not stopped me from hooking up a single LED and my giant [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I found a fascinating article on Kotaku today about the concept of &#8220;mature video games&#8221;. Quick summary: Maturity in games should be about more than gratuitous nudity and &#8216;adult&#8217; language. I totally agree. Two of my favorite games ever include Mass Effect and The Witcher arguably fall in the proper category of &#8220;mature&#8221; games. [...]]]></description>

So I have [...]]]></description>
