		<description><![CDATA[Mike Acton, our gracious facilitator of #AltDevBlogADay, has given us a challenge; show your ignorance (in other words, write about what you don’t know). I’m going to turn that on its head a little and instead write about what I didn’t know when I became an indie, so that you can have more of a head start.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chances are good that if you decide to make OpenGL calls directly, you have already thought about performance and efficiency. Optimizing VRAM use with texture atlasing is a good way to do that. In this article, I will talk about how to create really optimized textures.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2005, Malcolm Gladwell wrote a fascinating book titled “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.” In it, and broadly-speaking, Gladwell focuses on decision making and first impressions. Specifically, he reveals that the difference between making good decisions and bad ones has less to do with how much information we have and process than with our ability to focus on a few specific details.

In this article, I will show you how you can put this information to work for your apps so that you can, hopefully, see better returns for your time and effort.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that our games have been launched, I finally have time to get excited about attending the 360&#124;iDev conference  in Austin next week! (That’s not to say I wasn’t before, I was just too busy shipping those games to think about other stuff.) I can’t wait to go! I’m a speaker this year and this will be my first time attending, so I’m pretty excited!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I needed a break after writing the giant two-part series on fog of war so I decided that this week will be a light productivity tip: maintaining focus by using lists.

I don’t mean linked lists or anything else programming-related. I mean an actual, tangible list of things that need to be done. It seems really common sense but I’m still surprised at how effective they are for keeping one’s mind focused.]]></description>
