		<title>WebAuthenticationBroker &amp; Facebook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I needed to use Facebook authentication in a Windows Store app the other day. The Windows Runtime makes this trivially easy with it's WebAuthenticationBroker class. The web authentication broker allows apps to use Internet authentication and authorization protocols like OAuth and OpenID with minimal effort.]]></description>

		<title>What I Learned at PAX East</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent Saturday at PAX East 2013 in Boston. If you’re not familiar with PAX, it is a conference put on by the folks at Penny Arcade. If you enjoying “gaming” (in any form) then this is your nirvana. They cover quite a bit of ground from table-top to video games to cosplay… Just imaging [...]]]></description>

		<title>Style In The Round</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Think about your actual user's actual experience, not some generalized design guidelines. If you wedge your user's experience into a design that doesn't fit, you are serving neither your customer nor the platform. Do something amazing that will wow your customer's and make their experience something they'll talk about. Make something ROUND!]]></description>

		<title>Do It With Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The truth is that equating "design guidelines" with "every app looks the same" is akin equating "code standards" with "every app does this same thing". Guidelines serve to reduce the number of decisions we are forced to make, they do not limit the decisions you want to make. To paraphrase an old American phrase, they are guidelines not a suicide pact.]]></description>

		<title>Word as Blog Editor</title>

		<title>Settings Charm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the nice things about Windows 8 for developers adoption of some clearly defined (and long needed) user experience standards. While in the past we relied on conventions (Help -&#62; About for example) those conventions were not always followed and often didn&#8217;t make a lot of sense (Help -&#62; About for example). A great [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gone Fishing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There a few things I&#8217;ve learned in my life. First is that if you wish to learn something new you must first try something new.

		<title>Windows Store Apps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve run into a couple of developers asking where &#8220;Metro Style Apps&#8221; went in the RTM version of Visual Studio 2012. Don&#8217;t worry, they are still there. They just have a new name. That term &#8220;Metro&#8221; was just a placeholder during the beta phase. There are two different types of Windows Apps. The first is [...]]]></description>
