		<title>Flex tutorial: Enabling track pad (mouse wheel) scrolling on Mac OS X for Flex 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been quite a while since I last worked on Flex after I became a Web Evangelist at Microsoft where I&#8217;m spending most of my time working on Silverlight (a very awesome technology too). Recently, I was working on a pet project using Flex 4 (to keep up with my Flex skill), and sadly despite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Image Search API</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a demo of Google Image Search API which was included in 65amp.com. The good thing about doing this in Flex or Flash is that the API endpoint has a cross-domain.xml that allows any external domain to coomunicate, hence the app can be completely standalone without roundtrip to proxy server.

		<title>65amp.com launched! Why everyone needs a mashup?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I left the corporate world back in late 2007 to pursue a business idea. It was an idea that I thought it was obvious to have been implemented, yet I don&#8217;t see it on the web at that time. To work on the idea, I knew I need to learn web development skills, an area [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do you want to stay in the zoo or get out to the wild?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just read a blog post by Paul Graham, who discussed the cons of technology professionals working for big companies. He used several metaphors to describe the differences between working for large corporations and starting your own. I particularly liked &#8220;the zoo or the wild&#8221; metaphor: working for companies are like animals in a zoo, although [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bored with your desktop?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are you bored with your computer&#8217;s desktop. Try out BumpTop, which aims to reinvent the way you work with your files. The &#8220;waoh&#8221; factor is certainly there, but I&#8217;m concerned about the adoption rate; making a dog learn new tricks is not an easy task.

		<title>Cynergy Systems, one of the best RIA companies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From day one when I stepped into Flex, I have been following the cool stuffs that Cynergy Systems Inc. builds. While there are many companies who are experts in building Rich Internet Applications (RIA), Cynergy would come out top when it comes to seamless visual experience.

		<title>Microsoft&#8217;s Silverlight 3 updates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For the past two days, there have been many discussions surrounding the latest update to Microsoft&#8217;s Silverlight when it was announced during the MIX 09. The most interesting feature would be its whole new &#8220;Out-of-Browser&#8221; experience. I thought there was Microsoft&#8217;s answer to Adobe&#8217;s AIR, but soon found out they were addressing different problems. Although [...]]]></description>
