		<description><![CDATA[I quit my job at RIM just over a week ago. After two and a half years there, the days were starting to feel like I was pushing water uphill with a rake, so to speak. Nothing specific to RIM or the group I was in; the people were smart, the work challenging, the compensation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been roughly a year since the RIM acquisition, so I thought I&#8217;d give a little post-mortem. I successfully avoided working for big companies up until last year, until I wasn&#8217;t really given a choice. The avoidance wasn&#8217;t due to do a bad firsthand experience, just a combination of what I&#8217;d heard and how I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In case you haven&#8217;t heard yet (I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised since it&#8217;s been kept quiet), about a month ago RIM bought the company I work for. The deal closed on July 7th, but didn&#8217;t actually become public knowledge until July 11th. There was some spotty, mostly online coverage, no press releases. I&#8217;ve archived the articles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Long time no update. Let&#8217;s see, what&#8217;s new? Last weekend we went to the Interior Design Show at the CNE. Overall it probably wasn&#8217;t worth the price of admission, but we did get a few good ideas for our new loft. The one I like the best is the concept of a &#8220;dressing room&#8221;; here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

The latter part was way more difficult than it should have been; since getting this 20&#8243; Dell 2005FPW widescreen LCD last month, most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Got back from Memphis late Wednesday night, I was at the FedEx head office for a couple days. I&#8217;m getting too old for this. Almost every time I get sent somewhere for work, it&#8217;s because something isn&#8217;t working properly, and there&#8217;s a limited amount of time to diagnose the problem and fix it. This time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I work with the technical teams at both NetZero and AOL regularly[1], and it&#8217;s surprising how accurately the technical competence of each company&#8217;s staff reflect their own user base. NetZero&#8217;s team is hard core, whereas AOL&#8217;s is usually not on the ball. Anyway, a guy at NetZero said something today that I didn&#8217;t think was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cover story for this month&#8217;s Toronto Life is &#8220;What you get for $500,000&#8220;. The pictures on the front cover range from a 3000 square foot 4 bedroom monster in Oakville, to a 1 bedroom low-rise Yorkville condo, to a 94-year old towering detached Edwardian in High Park. Visually, I think it drives home the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My work recently closed their second round of financing, to the tune of some $3.5M. Incidentally, this event also reduces the value of my stock options from owning about 1% of the company to 0.5%. Dilution hurts. Anyway, with this new money, I think management isn&#8217;t really sure which direction to go. On our current [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They finally got me a new chair at work. It&#8217;s a Herman Miller Ambi, without the forward seat angle option. It&#8217;s no Aeron &#8220;ass throne&#8221;, but at least it&#8217;s better than the crappy old Staples chair I was using before. The rest of the people in the office got new chairs too. Definitely a step [...]]]></description>
