			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Drum Hill Liquors&#8217; new website, <a href="http://drumhillliquors.com?ref=alanmattila.com">drumhillliquors.com</a> is now officially live! </p>
<p>The owner expressed the need for a web presence without the cost of updating the site regularly. I came up with a solution that fit the requirements. The result is a website that has all the necessary information to promote the business, while keeping it simple.</p>
<p>I made use of the color burgundy, which symbolizes class and red wine (of which the store has an excellent selection). It also matches the shirts worn by employees.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a screenshot:</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I am happy to announce the completion of Sodano Real Estate&#8217;s new website, sodanorealestate.com.
Darlene Sodano and I spent a lot of time discussing various aspects of the website. We decided that an elegant theme would demonstrate the business&#8217; high level of service and professionalism. Combine that with rich content, and voila! An exemplary website.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently tried RunKeeper, an app for the iPhone. This lets you track your running activities by monitoring your GPS coordinates.</p>
<p>RunKeeper lets you track how far you ran, your pace and speed, running duration, calories burned, and it even uses Google Maps to show the path along which you ran. I like how it shows your pace for each mile, a feature that helps improve consistency.</p>
<p>The Pro version of Runkeeper comes with a price tag of $9.99 from the app store. I think that is a little steep, considering that the only additional feature is audio cues (that would get in the way of listening to the iPod). I&#8217;m completely happy with the free version.</p>
<p>After your exercise activity, the details can be viewed either on the iPhone or on the RunKeeper website. It shows the entire history and allows progress to be tracked graphically.</p>
<p>That being said, I love this app. It is absolutely brilliant!</p>
