		<title>Eye Safety During Solar Eclipse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We just viewed our first Solar Eclipse of the year 2010.&#160; As usual, there were many reports of losing the eye sight if you view the eclipse with a naked eye and ways of viewing the eclipse.

		<title>Using Airtel International calling card</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been using Airtel International calling cards for a while.&#160; Rate to US is relatively cheaper compared to the full international calling rates.&#160; Only problem I had was the long dialing procedure which used to take almost a minute to get into a conference call.&#160; I worked around the manual dialing process by storing [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Experiences with Sony Reader Touch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like everyone else, I watched for the release of Sony Reader Touch with great enthusiasm.&#160;&#160; Though I prefer to read while traveling and during my free time, I was not sure that I will be that comfortable with a digital device.&#160; I checked out Sony PRS-505 at Staples and I must say that I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Buys  Gizmo5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rajesh brought this news to my notice.&#160; This is interesting for me as Gizmo5 is my VoIP provider and Google Voice provides me connectivity to all US numbers which I bridged through my Gizmo5 account.&#160; Great to see this development.

		<title>Timezone changes while you travel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m just back from a business trip.&#160; I had to be in 5 different timezones in the last 2 months.&#160; The most annoying thing was to change timezones in each of my desktop and web applications.&#160; For eg.

Google Calendar
Google Voice (Funny that these two are still not integrated)
Gizmo VoIP&#160;&#160; 
Desktop applications


System Date and Time

		<title>Team Velocity &#8211; Right word at the wrong place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Agile development methods are overly hyped; probably after cloud!!!.&#160; I happened to read SKORKS today.&#160; I agree with his observation, ie. measuring velocity does not replace planning and scheduling on an agile project.&#160; Velocity is just a metric to measure team productivity.&#160; I would compare this to kloc or design complexity metrics of the traditional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon shared  this blog two days back.  I could relate to many things that we do in the organization.  I was also surprised to see some of my thinking patterns reflected in the blog.  Some of the points I particularly liked in the context of software development are:

		<title>Google Voice: Another Innovation from Google</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google&#8217;s acquisition of Grand Central a while ago was seen as a smart move by industry.&#160; They took almost two years to invite fresh accounts to try out their new beta program, .
