		<description><![CDATA[The US House, having just passed the stimulus package after hours of contentious debates and procedural motions, moved on to more serious business: congratulating the winners of the Super Bowl.   Here&#8217;s a short clip of somebody off-camera airing their opinion.  This somehow didn&#8217;t make it into the official record.  The gem [...]]]></description>

		<title>New metavid capture system deployed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m happy to announce some improvements we&#8217;ve made in our capture architecture.  We&#8217;ve spent the last couple months implementing our new capture and transcode system.  We have cut out some unnecessary complexity and updated or replaced many of our core components.
