		<title>End Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend asked me the other night &#8211; &#8220;What&#8217;s your goal with SpeakerText/Humanoid? Are you looking to eventually sell it?&#8221; I thought about the question for a moment and was completely surprised when I realized that I hadn&#8217;t even thought about it in a long time.

		<title>Big Basin Redwoods State Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Big Basin Redwoods is the oldest state park in California, but the trees within the park are much older.

		<description><![CDATA[Resque is a super-useful Rails gem which allows you to queue long-running tasks for background processing. It uses Redis as its data store, ensuring fast access but also data security in case the machine goes down. It also comes with a really nice front-end interface that allows you to see your queues and workers and [...]]]></description>

Now that I&#8217;m out here in Silicon Valley working on SpeakerText, I need to have a web presence that&#8217;s every bit as legit as my coding skills.

		<title>Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast</title>

		<title>To Melbourne by Bus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in my last post, I&#8217;ve been gone the past two weekends in Brisbane and Melbourne, which was a huge drain on my time. Besides missing a lot of class, I&#8217;ve had quite a bit to catch up on, both in terms of schoolwork and college drama. I&#8217;m still working on a 3000 [...]]]></description>
