		<description><![CDATA[	Have magazines stopped being relevant? Over on Subtraction, Khoi Vinh seems to think so:
	Aside from the work of adventurous art directors like Chris Dixon at New York, I find magazines really boring. To be sure, I’m a faithful reader of The New Yorker, but that’s the only rag whose arrival I anticipate with eagerness, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Congrats to John Gruber for making it through five years of insightful and entertaining posts over on Daring Fireball. I think I found him on his second post, and have enjoyed it ever since.
	Salute.

		<description><![CDATA[	Creating a one-click sync between your microformat data and a visitor&#8217;s address book or calendar couldn&#8217;t be simpler with Django. In fact, the built-in generic views give you everything you need.
	If you use Django, it seems inevitable that the database will quickly have a lot of data that just lends itself to microformats, particularly calendar [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	For quite some time now I&#8217;ve been using js-hcalendar on a few different sites to parse out hcal-formatted events.
	While I think it&#8217;s a fine script I kept running into limitations with it, so I started hacking and came up with my own. 
	It&#8217;s obviously based on the fine work in js-hcalendar, with a few extra [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I had a need today for a simple textarea word count script, so whipped this up using jQuery. It ain&#8217;t fancy, but it works:
	
$(document).ready(function(){
  $(\"#text\").keyup(function() {
     $('#count').html($('#text').val().split(/\b[\s,\.-:;]*/).length);
  });
});

	I&#8217;ll leave it to you to remember you have to have jQuery in place, and sort out the IDs on the textarea [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Over on Boxes and Arrows there&#8217;s a brilliant piece translating The Elements of Style for designers. As a big fan of  E.B. White and the work he did to improve writers everywhere (as well as Charlotte&#8217;s Web), this one is a must-read.
	And for those who really think visually, The Illustrated Elements of Style.

		<description><![CDATA[	The web development community in the Kansas City area, like Kansas City itself, tends to be a bit insular and scattered, at least in my experience. And quite frankly, many of the developers in this area are sadly lagging behind the times when it comes to building modern, standards-compliant, forward-thinking sites. Sure, there&#8217;s folks like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Over on Creating Passionate Users, Kathy Sierra is musing on the value of ideas and how they spread.
	In particular, I like how she pointed out that ideas by themselves mean little. How they&#8217;re implemented means everything.
	It&#8217;s not about our ideas, it&#8217;s about what the ideas can do for our users. 
	Ideas are a dime a [...]]]></description>

	Anything that exists only to satisfy the internal politics of the site owner must be eliminated.
	Anything that exists only to satisfy the ego of the designer must be eliminated.
	Anything that is irrelevant within the context of the page must be eliminated.
