		<title>A funny thing happened on the way out the door</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm not a reporter, generally. I'm not signed up for the Magazine, Newspaper and Online Journalism capstone project at Newhouse. I went in around 9:30 this morning to bone up on my Z1U, and planned to be home before lunch.
I spent most of today doing research for Handshake Magazine (the MNO capstone project) on the federal seizure of seven--no, six--no, nine--websites accused of illegally streaming first-run Hollywood movies and other copyrighted content.]]></description>

		<title>On video editing codecs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Video compression is something of a black art. I&#8217;ve become something of a compression nerd over the past few months, partly because I was helping to plan the 2010 NPPA Multimedia Immersion, and partly because I&#8217;m a giant geek. I&#8217;m going to concentrate on editing codecs today. I don&#8217;t want to get into final output [...]]]></description>

		<title>Converting a QuickTime .mov to .flv</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ wrote this up after some of my students had problems uploading H.264 encoded video from Final Cut Express to VuVox. Their videos either didn't play back smoothly, or resized incorrectly--it seems VuVox only supports square pixels. So I tried converting the videos to .flv using Adobe Media Encoder, and it fixed all the problems we were having.]]></description>

		<title>Ode to Samuel, part two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before leaving, I called my various banks and credit card companies to give them my itinerary. When I called American Express, they told me not to worry, their computers were set up to handle the trip, no problem. At the end of the call, they also gave me the number for their 24/7 global assist [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ode to Samuel, part one</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Africa is an interesting place. The man pictured here is Samuel Vamboi, my driver while I was in Sierra Leone. Without Samuel, I really don&#8217;t know what I would&#8217;ve done. Lungi International Airport, while ostensibly in Freetown, is on an island roughly nine miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. Travelers can get there by ferry, [...]]]></description>
