		<description><![CDATA[
The multiple choice quizzing app we&#8217;ve been working on went live today on the iTunes App Store!  This one lets students review key concepts from the market leading Boone &#38; Kurtz Contemporary Business title.  In addition to the quiz, the app scores the test when it&#8217;s complete as well as lets students review the correct [...]]]></description>

		<title>FileMaker &amp; MySQL are an Awesome Combination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Late last year we went live with a website that was fundamentally a big database that was accessed and maintained through a browser. It was fantastic because it was secure, easy to design around, flexible to port the data to other websites for other purposes, and maybe most importantly &#8211; accessible to anyone in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thicksole Ships :: March 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three decent-sized projects shipped through the Thicksole doors this month.  Here&#8217;s a quick pimp:
Exploring Management Flashcard iPhone App

This is a variation on the Boone &#38; Kurtz iPhone app we did back in December.  It looks nice, works well, and I like the idea.  You can check it out on iTunes here, or here&#8217;s the page [...]]]></description>

		<title>When&#8217;s the best time to start?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;Is it okay to launch a site on a Monday?  What if something bad happens?&#8221;
&#8220;How long does it take to learn how to do &#8216;this web stuff&#8217;?&#8221;
 
&#8220;I&#8217;m not really a computer person, but I gotta start learning these things.&#8221;
I get these questions a lot when I start working with any new client or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Professional Skills Evolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot of talk about the evolution of technical professional skills, so I put together a little chart to show how things kinda evolved.  I tell people all the time that knowing MS Office isn&#8217;t enough anymore.  In the early 90&#8217;s, proficiency in Word or the ability to make a kickass pivot table in [...]]]></description>

		<title>When a site takes on a life of its own</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I had the pleasure of interviewing iPhone Developer and author, Dave Mark, a few days ago and one of the interesting things that came up was the website he put together to support the readers of his book.  What started out as a way for him to field a few questions here and there turned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skill Shift 2010 :: Introduction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In a lot of companies a line exists between what the tech guys do and what the marketers, publicists, and managers do with their computers.  Same computers.  Same horse power.  Same permissions.  But when it comes to updating a website, creating online content, changing images, creating a video, producing a podcast, or launching a website, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will Books Become Apps?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I don&#8217;t know.  Nobody really does.  But what we all know is that the way we get books, how we read them, and the depth we&#8217;re involved with them is changing and nobody&#8217;s going to stop it (no matter how bad some folks want to).  Currently the digital delivery and consumption of text is taking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Speculation on the Apple Tablet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a ton of speculation on what the Apple tablet will be.  A Kindle Killer?  A new hope to the magazine industry?  The end of netbooks?  The end of laptops?
Apple does have a tendency to not only redefine things, but also create brand new categories.  Who knew we needed an app store with over 100,000 [...]]]></description>
