		<title>Ext JS &amp; Selenium IDE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This user extension makes ExtJS testable.  The only problem is you still have to set the ID of each component you use.  Otherwise minor code changes cause false positives in test cases and they&#8217;ll fail even though the test should have passed.  As long as you&#8217;re okay with setting all of you IDs, you&#8217;ll be [...]]]></description>

		<title>California loses the science fair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I stumped across this article on Hacker News titled &#8220;Science project prompts SD school evacuation&#8220;.  This is why the US can&#8217;t produce enough good engineers.  Read this and tell me if you aren&#8217;t pissed off at the American educational system.

IE6 is like an illness that just won’t go away, but we have the medicine.
