		<title>Lessons from Google</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At SXSWi, all attendees can pick up the &#8220;Big Bag&#8221;, a canvas bag filled with marketing stuff. Most people either don&#8217;t pick it up or get it and promptly trash the contents and keep the bag. Kelley and I go through each piece and check everything out. We get to see what other companies in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good People Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gary V proposed a pretty killer idea yesterday, Good People Day. It&#8217;s an invitation to take a break from some of the negativity that pervades this interweb of ours and recognize the good people that make your life better. Here&#8217;s my list:
Kelley and Mannix
It almost goes without saying, but my family is really what keeps [...]]]></description>

		<title>Please Outsource Your Programming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s right. Every single interactive agency should outsource programming. Here&#8217;s a quick process to follow:

First go to somebody who knows what they&#8217;re doing and make an insultingly low demand for pricing.
Leave meeting indignantly and call the expert a hack.
Have your website built by the lowest bidder in Romania or India.
Watch you project go way over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Better than Captcha</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here it is, the ultimate in bot detection. The Official Muir Human Certification test.

I created this as a joke in response to a few posts about the Google Captcha hacking. I think it&#8217;s pretty fun, let me know what you think.

		<title>SXSW OpenFormat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago, I mentioned that Kelley, Shimon and I were working on something for SXSW. It&#8217;s already been mentioned on the SXSW site, but I wanted to take the time to talk about it a bit here on the blog.
SXSW OpenFormat was an idea that we worked with Hugh Forrest from SXSW to come [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Guess I asked for it.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I posted about Microsoft not being that bad and now I may have to retract that.
Today the Office 2007 SP1 update came out, which means I&#8217;m posting this from my work machine not my laptop. The update crippled Outlook. Everytime I try to view a Rich Text or HTML e-mail, the system crashes. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simon Cowell Rules</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, I never watched American Idol. Until now. It happened to be on after the Simpsons and since everybody seems to love it so much, Kelley and I decided to watch it. As a musician this show makes my soul hurt. It represents everything I despise about pop music.
Rather than encouraging unique [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disappointed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, the winners for this year&#8217;s Remix ReStyle competition were announced today, and I&#8217;m pretty disappointed. The most obvious reason is that I didn&#8217;t win, but even more so are the choices of winners.
The first choice, Gung Hay Fat Choy, is awesome. It&#8217;s interesting both visually and technically and it&#8217;s a very unique design. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blind Hatred</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pretty much everybody who reads this blog knows that I work with Microsoft technology a lot. Most of my code is in ASP.NET, I&#8217;m in the process of learning Silverlight and I&#8217;m running Vista on my laptop. For the most part, the Microsoft products I use are good.
It&#8217;s no secret that I&#8217;m fairly lonely as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[See Title
EDIT: For those who don&#8217;t know, this is in reference to a rather large football game that a prominent New England team may have completely blown.
