		<title>Google launches Google Reader redesign, forgets about the &#8216;Like&#8217; hotkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today Google rolled out the new design for Google Reader. Apart from the design, the first thing I noticed was that the keyboard hotkey to like an item has been removed (&#8216;L&#8217;). In fact, the entire Google Reader sharing functionality has been dropped in favor of some rudimentary Google+ integration (read what Alex from the [...]]]></description>

		<title>I can&#8217;t imagine life without: &#8220;The Awesome Bar&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Get to your favorite sites quickly – even if you don’t remember the URLs. Type your term into the location bar (aka the Awesome Bar) and the autocomplete function will include possible matches from your browsing history, bookmarked sites and open tabs.

		<title>Equal sized imagery + grid layout = magic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some reason when laying out almost any kind of imaginary of equal sizes in a grid fashion: magic happens. It&#8217;s weird, but it&#8217;s true. I&#8217;ll give some examples in future blog posts.]]></description>

		<title>TinyMCE editor capturing the  key</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m just sharing the rage here. Now that I&#8217;ve picked up blogging again I&#8217;ve once again become annoyed with how this TinyMCE editor captures the &#60;Tab&#62; key thereby overriding Firefox&#8217;s tab navigation. What makes it even weirder is that it doesn&#8217;t even indent anything when using &#60;Tab&#62;. I&#8217;ll let this post serve a dual purpose [...]]]></description>

		<title>Usability disaster: OKCupid blog&#8217;s &#8220;Share Popout&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was scrolling through a blogpost on the OKCupid blog when I noticed this annoying popout that appeared when you browsed into the comment section. It takes up a lot of space and most importantly it distracts from reading the commentary. It&#8217;s just too much in-your-face. Here&#8217;s what it looks like: The ID for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seth Godin&#8217;s &#8220;This Is Broken&#8221; talk at Gel 2006</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m trying to keep my mind occupied by just watching as much &#8220;stuff&#8221; as possible, right now that means watching TED talks (or talks linked from the TED website). The first talk I&#8217;ve watched so far is Seth Godin&#8217;s &#8220;This Is Broken&#8221; talk at the Gel conference back in 2006. In it Seth talks about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Modern Warfare 2: The party system, matchmaking and finding servers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since November 2009 I&#8217;ve been playing Modern Warfare 2 with a bunch of online friends and while the game is not without its problems, I have absolutely fallen in love with its party and matchmaking system.

		<title>Usability disaster: Videos from CNN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apart from the fact that CNN&#8217;s video site just isn&#8217;t very interesting (for now I won&#8217;t go into reasons why), it also has a few minor issues that combined make for a genuine usability disaster. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Problem #1: When a video is done playing, all player functionality is disabled and after a few seconds the [...]]]></description>
