		<description><![CDATA[As a software developer, I love having extra monitors. I currently have three: my laptop screen, an external widescreen plugged into the VGA port, and a third plugged in via a USB-VGA adapter. The adapted I chose (and love, BTW) is the DisplayLink USB2VGAPro, and it works perfectly with both my Windows and Mac machines. <a href="http://www.akawebdesign.com/2011/04/06/displaylink-usb2vgapro-on-mac-os-x/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past week I killed my iPod Touch. It drowned in my morning cup of coffee.

Needless to say, I followed the advice I read online to resuscitate my iPod but I couldn't find a pulse. The screen was black and there were zero signs of life.

So as a last resort I decided to take it apart. Which is much harder than you would think. <a href="http://www.akawebdesign.com/2010/09/27/my-ipod-doesnt-like-coffee/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever gotten an email from someone you didn't know?

It's called SPAM and I get a lot of it. I probably get more than most people because I run a business - which means I get a million calls and emails trying to sell me services or asking about "business proposals". This is an expected result of advertising my name, address, phone number and email and I can't be too mad about that.

But when did spammers start getting personal? <a href="http://www.akawebdesign.com/2010/09/08/when-spam-gets-ugly/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Computer nerds and software developers are often stereotyped as having poor vision and being fat. I can't argue with the poor vision - mine is absolutely terrible without glasses or contacts, and I used to wear the big coke-bottle lenses. 

But fat? I guess we do like our snacks...
