			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since the last time I updated this blog, lots has changed. I got married, I started working for a high-tech startup, I moved to LA, I traveled internationally. The list could go on forever. One major thing that has changed for me is that I don&#8217;t have time, time to dick around with coding my own blogging engine for one (hence I have changed to Wordpress.)</p>
<p>I guess mostly I just want everything to be easy, technology I think is complicated on purpose &#8211; to give people excitement. I was one of these people who had 87 servers in my office just so that I could do statefull packet inspection on the 4mb of traffic of daily traffic I had.  I had the super-hacked WRT-54G with the sweet WDS setup with my Airport Express in the living room so that nobody could hack me.</p>
<p>Recently my WRT broke and I had to get a replacement. I bought a Buffalo something or another and set it up, no WEP, simply because I don&#8217;t care if somebody uses my wireless. What, are some kids going to come along and hack my laptop when its closed? Whatever.</p>
<p>I think too many people in this world are concerned with how complicated something is and forget how important simplicity is. Maybe its growing up, maybe its getting lazy, but I still know people who arent in either category that get stuck in this state of hacking their phones / cars / ipods / xbox / myspace / [insert posh tech toy here] for no particular reason, and i&#8217;m over it. I have better things to do than to mess about with that sort of thing anymore.</p>
