		<description><![CDATA[Nissan announced today that their first all-electric vehicle, the Leaf, will be priced around $25,000. While it&#8217;s certainly adorable and conceptually desirable, the Leaf, along with similar plug-in electrics, will continue to be an automotive failure. Electric cars are best suited for urban environments, where slower speeds and short distances make optimal use of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For about a year now, I&#8217;ve been playing with the Arduino prototyping platform to learn about embedded programming. After a year, however, I think the time has come to say goodbye to the Arduino and program my microcontrollers directly. I do like the concept that Arduino is offering: a simple, low-cost platform that wraps a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, Apple released its punchline-inducing &#8220;iPad&#8221; tablet device. Designed to be something between a smartphone and a laptop, the iPad is perhaps the most hyped device of the last couple years. Whether it will be a game changer is yet to be seen, but it is certainly a shift away from traditional computing for sure. [...]]]></description>

OpenVMS, of course, will not run on my laptop, so I needed a solution to run on my standard-issue laptop.

Something that has baffled me for quite some time is why we don&#8217;t see more cryptography in consumer computing. Passwords, simple authentication tokens, are ubiquitous, even on single-user Windows computers. Real encryption, on [...]]]></description>
