		<title>Unity and the component model</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, this post is as much for the world as it is to give me a chance to write things out to help me visualize things more clearly. Rather than the traditional object-oriented design paradigm, Unity uses what is known as a component-based architecture.  What does that mean?  The common answer is that in object-oriented [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beginnings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;ve put up a new version of the static scene game today, based in my hometown of Spokane, Washington.  It&#8217;s still just shooting random zombies that come your way, but the scenery is different, and it&#8217;s a much better lead into where the game is going graphically &#8211; extensive use of free Google Maps [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Project!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#8217;s pretty obvious that OpenChord.org is at the end of it&#8217;s life.  It&#8217;s been that way for probably close to a year now, but I haven&#8217;t really had anything to update here.  However, in the meantime, I&#8217;ve been working on a different project &#8211; the making of a non-music-related game.  Instead, it&#8217;s a game [...]]]></description>

		<title>MIDI Video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;ve been busy with non-OpenChord stuff for the last month or two, but I finally cleaned a few things up and took a video of the MIDI update in action. Like the video mentions, if you&#8217;ve already got a V1, all you have to do is download the new firmware and flash it onto [...]]]></description>

		<title>MIDI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s just a start for now, but if you go check out the code page, you can find working code and the binary for adding MIDI over USB functionality to the V1 guitar.  All you need to do is download the binary file and then update the firmware with the .hex file, and it will [...]]]></description>

		<title>PAX Prime + 100% Charity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re back, or at least back-ish &#8211; We&#8217;ll be at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, going from September 3rd through the 5th.  Due to a number of factors, there&#8217;s a good chance that it&#8217;s going to be the last convention that we do, so we&#8217;re just going there and trying to have a good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hiatus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I should have posted this about two weeks ago, I guess. Anyhow Maker Faire was a lot of fun, and we even won an editor&#8217;s choice ribbon, although we&#8217;re one of a number of winners (That&#8217;s just the tip of the iceberg &#8211; a 30 second Google search will reveal a lot more..  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maker Faire, Day Zero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve arrived at Maker Faire! Today is setup, but we did have a nice time showing off the guitar and the prototype violin this morning for the Young Maker&#8217;s day. They&#8217;ve got the Singing Tesla Coils here, so it was pretty cool to listen to them, even if the RF emissions they generate knock our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Articles and Posts!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you didn&#8217;t see it, our video involving Street Fighter 4 is on Hack-a-Day.  Also, there&#8217;s an interview up on OpenSource.com, where I muse about why we&#8217;re open source, the challenges, and our future.  Thanks!]]></description>
