		<title>Why I dislike Large Blogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love blogs. I have been blogging since 2002 when my friend Mugsy emailed me and told me to sign up for LiveJournal. A lot has changed about blogging since then, but the revolutionary idea that if you can type, you can publish easily in a word-processing-like interface on the internet has not. The method of blogging [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theprotagonist5.wordpress.com&blog=17907&post=1145&subd=theprotagonist5&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Apple iPhone wasn&#8217;t a miracle just a repurposed design from arrogant salespeople</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
I just got an iPhone.
 Since all the hype has died down about these iPhones 2 years later, and people have accepted this device as the most amazing thing ever I thought I would post my reactions to this nice but not miraculous device.
The first thing that I realized when I got this iPhone was that its [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theprotagonist5.wordpress.com&blog=17907&post=1135&subd=theprotagonist5&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Jay Leno&#8217;s Prime Time Show Experiment Flops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am glad I am not the only one thinking this, but yet my initial reaction was &#8220;why are they recreating his incarnation of the Tonight Show an hour earlier?&#8221;. Ugh. The same old slow humor? The jokes you really have to stretch, strain and reach for? More not really funny headlines? More lame monologue [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theprotagonist5.wordpress.com&blog=17907&post=1128&subd=theprotagonist5&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hidden fat &amp; Cholesterol in Foods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am still hot on this topic of finding hidden fat and cholesterol in my diet because I am still faced with how to get my Cholesterol down from 243 to under 200 in the next 6 months. I am not wild about the challenge but I don&#8217;t really have a choice either. Its my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theprotagonist5.wordpress.com&blog=17907&post=1126&subd=theprotagonist5&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>How do you lower your cholesterol? With what foods?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I heard from my doctor on Monday that I have high cholesterol, it is 243 at the moment. The good cholesterol is at 71 and the bad is 146. Yikes! I am only 33 so this is a bit surprising. We really took the test on a whim, not expecting it to be that bad [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theprotagonist5.wordpress.com&blog=17907&post=1121&subd=theprotagonist5&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>SEO Update from Chicago</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everything just got a bit harder with the new Google Caffeine update for the search engine. If you haven&#8217;t heard about it yet you can check out the API to see how your website will rank in the new engine compared to the old engine.
I would say that most people began to understand the old [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theprotagonist5.wordpress.com&blog=17907&post=1115&subd=theprotagonist5&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Blog Template Redesign</title>

		<title>Why the Microsoft &amp; Yahoo Search Deal Sucks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I blogged about why I thought that the Microsoft and Yahootalks were not going to yield anything useful last year and was satisfied that they stopped wasting time trying to buy each other out of financial trouble. Now it has been widely reported that Microsoft has gained access to Yahoo in a search partnership deal. This [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theprotagonist5.wordpress.com&blog=17907&post=1109&subd=theprotagonist5&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Product Promotions and Tie ins for Flickr</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while I look at a product and think of something that would be cool to do with it but is usually impossible. Today the thought was that Kleenex or Scott Tissue should partner with Flickr (the photo sharing site) to let people choose photos for their Kleenex boxes.
The reason this came [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theprotagonist5.wordpress.com&blog=17907&post=1105&subd=theprotagonist5&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>New Media and New Information Paradigms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been hearing about the demise of the newspapers, the rise of search/social networking/new media and the internet fragmentation concept for years now. (almost a decade?) And I just read about it again today with the newspapers secretly meeting to try and sort out monetization methods to save their business. At the same time [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theprotagonist5.wordpress.com&blog=17907&post=1101&subd=theprotagonist5&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
