		<title>Hydration Reservoirs Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some mysterious reason, Camelbak&#8217;s marketing department dropped the term &#8220;bladder&#8221; for describing those plastic bags which go inside hydration packs.  I&#8217;ll use &#8220;bladder&#8221; and &#8220;reservoir&#8221; interchangeably here. 
As someone who is often training for multi-day adventure races, I go through a fair number of hydration bladders.  For me, a quality hydration system [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can Science Answer Moral Questions?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sam Harris recently gave a talk at the TED conference on how the scientific method can be employed to answer moral questions.  It was a wonderful and thought provoking lecture!  I have no idea how it relates to one of technology, entertainment, or design (TED), but who cares? :)  I will return [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leading Cyborg Speaks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Singularity Hub has published an article on professor Kevin Warwick, famous for his pioneering research in cybernetics, where he uses himself as a subject.  In the video below, he describes some of his research projects, and discusses why transhumanism &#8212; the integration of technology and human biology &#8212; is such an exciting and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Nature of Humanity: Technology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kevin Kelly recently gave a TED Talk on &#8220;technology&#8217;s epic story&#8221;, the first 7 minutes of which I think provides an excellent description of the nature of humanity as the technological species.  On Kelly&#8217;s account, humanity itself is a concept of our own invention, which we continue to develop as part of an overall [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Business Case for Google&#8217;s China Defiance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Technology news has been abuzz for the past couple of days, following Google&#8217;s dramatic announcement that it will no longer comply with the Chinese government&#8217;s demands to censor their citizen&#8217;s web searches, and if necessary, will leave China altogether.  In other words, Google is leaving China.  The decision follows the discovery that Google&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Small Scale Trash to Energy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year I wrote about Plasma Arc Waste Disposal, which converts waste to energy for large cities.  I asked Plasco whether they plan on scaling down the technology to handle smaller municipalities, and as I recall, their reply was essentially: not for awhile.  
At least one company has developed technology to convert garbage [...]]]></description>

		<title>Other Side of The Singularity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The technological singularity is a point in time when a self-aware artificial intelligence (AI) recursively increases its own intelligence, leading to an &#8220;intelligence explosion&#8221; of unimaginable scale.   Some people consider this project to be the fastest way, perhaps even the only way, for us to solve our most serious problems.   As [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Introduction to the Future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Throughout the summer of 2009, FastForward Radio did a special series that they called A World Transformed, which provided an overview of the emerging technologies that are poised to radically transform our societies and ourselves in ways that are hardly imaginable.   Although the audio sometimes sounds like  they&#8217;re speaking through  a [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Unlock an iPhone 3GS</title>

The iPhone 3GS is the one that came out in the summer of 2009.  These instructions do not pertain to other models of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Healthy Energy Bars Recipe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This recipe is reverse-engineered from Anahata Foods&#8217; Godess Bars, one of my favourites.  This is not their exact recipe, it&#8217;s my version of it.
Start by stirring these dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: 

&#188; cup sunflower seeds, coarsely chopped
&#188; cup finely chopped almonds
2 tbsp sesame seeds
2&#189; tbsp hemp seeds
