		<title>What not to do in an RPG</title>
		<description><![CDATA[RPGs are great.  They allow for all sorts of collaborative fiction with all sorts of people playing all sorts of characters. Never in a stage production could I be cast as a … well, as any of the characters I ever play.
But hold on, &#8220;all sorts&#8221; of fiction?  There&#8217;s one in particular that has never [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roleplaying Books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sadly, this post is not about a game in which you play ancient tomes or cheap paperbacks. Though I have played an ex-book in a game before. No, this is just a quick observation that my FLGS has fewer RPGs than the nearest Borders, though of course a similarly DnD-heavy selection. But, curiously, both have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Server Migration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That was a bust. EveryDNS doesn&#8217;t yet support SRV records. If I&#8217;m not going to move all my services to the new server, I need support for that. So I may yet do it, but only when I can move XMPP and LDAP services over, too.

		<title>Server Migration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am going to move the hosting of this blog to a more stable server soon.  This will involve as much as a day of downtime, and then it will hopefully cut the amount of subsequent downtime significantly.  With luck there&#8217;ll be no more than a half-hour break in availability, though.  Keep [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roleplaying advice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John over at The Mighty Atom has some good advice.  Reproduced here:
Connected: The character has relationships (positive and negative) with other significant characters in the situation.
Committed: The character has a stake in the outcome of the situation, and will stay to see it through.
Capable: The character has the capacity to affect change in the situation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avatar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suppose I must comment on it.  I went, I saw, I enjoyed.  But I don&#8217;t think I enjoyed it for the reasons one &#8220;should&#8221; enjoy a movie.
Avatar has been dominating the airwaves and the conversations around me a lot.  It&#8217;s certainly good in many respects, and the amount of conversational fodder it has provided [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holiday Frantic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Too much happening lately to catch up on writing about: saw Vienna Teng, awesome as ever, with Allie, awesome as ever.  Snow again, just after I made it into NYC for a quick seeing of Miles and Mendez and Lisa, and Avatar.  The movie was visually stunning, had a fine but thin story, and some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Wave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is still cool. I&#8217;ve got a pile of invites; anyone want one?
(Since people keep asking: Google Wave is not, in and of itself, anything new.  It is, rather, a beautifully conceived [though not yet quite fully implemented!] melding of existing technologies.  The tag-line version is that it is a integration of wiki, IM, email, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Droid Review Addendum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The inimitable @andrewa121 pointed out that the iPhone has greater extended-latin input abilities than I had ascribed to it; he suggested touch-and-hold to get options for accented characters (which is exactly what one does in Android 2.0).  I would like to state for the record that I had tried this unsuccessfully on an iPhone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Motorola Droid Review (finally!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;ve had this phone for a bit now, and thought it time to give my thoughts on it.  They are basically positive—if you&#8217;re a nerdy guy, this is a good smartphone for you.
The pros are good pros for me, and the cons are cons that don&#8217;t bother me, but might be bad for [...]]]></description>
