		<title>TPK on the Shadowfell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Only two years after it came out, I finally played 4th Edition D&#038;D. Some of you may remember that my my first impression of 4E was not entirely favorable. Now that I&#8217;ve actually played it, I have rather more to say. But first, here&#8217;s how the adventure and the game session went. The Adventure My [...]]]></description>

		<title>It is Never a Good Time to Change Your Password</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many people, including (I am embarrassed to say) myself, have given people advice to periodically change their computer passwords. The more I learn about computer security and human factors, the more I come to realize this is fundamentally bad advice. A Boston Globe article from a couple of weeks ago explains this far better than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Face Painting for Confusing Face Recognition Software</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A researcher named Adam Harvey published some of his findings about how face paint can confuse face-recognition software. He has pictures on his Web site. This makes me think of science-fiction games, especially cyberpunk games. I kind of like the idea of characters painting their faces with camouflage patterns before they run the shadows. And, [...]]]></description>

		<title>E-Books and DRM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[E-books and devices with which to read them are gaining popularity. If you are thinking of getting an e-reader, there is something you need to understand about e-books: digital rights management, or DRM for short. DRM is what used to be called &#8220;copy protection:&#8221; it&#8217;s software that prevents you from making copies of an e-book [...]]]></description>

		<title>Data Recovered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just to let everyone know, I&#8217;ve had some help in recovering the data from my old blog posts. A friend from work had software that had archived most of the posts automatically and he sent me a copy of the archive. And, another reader pointed out that I could retrieve anything else that may still [...]]]></description>

For all intents and purposes, The Runes of Binaria is starting over with a blank slate. It was my mistake. I migrated to a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m going to let you in on a secret. Becoming a computer guru isn’t actually that hard. In fact it doesn’t even require a lot of brains. Here’s the secret: This is a bit tongue-in-cheek of course, perhaps even a bit unkind, but it raises a serious point. Most people are perfectly capable of learning [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tools for Tabletop Gaming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a D&#38;D gaming group that meets infrequently (every three or four months) because the players live far apart. We experimented with playing online but I wasn’t really happy with the software we were using. So a few days ago, I searched for other electronic tools for tabletop gaming.
