I've finally updated the About page with a little more information about my self. I've also added a Work page, it's just a list of projects that I've had a hand or two in over the last while. Enjoy!
I must be the only person who reads your blog via RSS, or perhaps everyone is even more reticent than I am to complain, but your RSS feed (at least in Google Reader) is putting out what looks like escaped XML––it might be the typo in "exteneded" or it might be something else.
It's been doing this for, oh, six months or so, or at least as long as I can remember.
Or possibly just the only one to read my blog in general! Apparently having "summary", "body" and "exten(e)ded" content tags in an Atom feed invalidates it. So I just shoved everything in the "content" attribute.
As far as escaped HTML, I can't tell why it would be doing that. In Safari RSS, Fever and FeedBurner it appears as it should. Even the raw feed appears as normal. It's probably an issue with Google Reader, the "content" of an entry is escaped HTML while it's in XML format, but it should be converted back to real HTML when it's read in a reader ( in Atom).
Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I'll look more into it, worst case scenario I'll publish an RSS feed along with the Atom feed.

Just thought you might want to know.
