		<description><![CDATA[jqXHR and the Promise Interface jQuery 1.5 features a brand new mechanism for dealing with asynchronous event-driven processing. This system, called deferreds, was first implemented for jQuery&#8217;s $.ajax method and so we&#8217;ll be looking closely at that method. $.ajax({ url: "/some/url", success: function(r){ alert("Success: " + r); }, error: function(r){ alert('Error: ' + r); } [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m a big fan of these all-in-one devices. I especially like having a WiFi interface, and scanning to a USB disk as opposed to some ridiculous TWAIN protocol is such a great idea it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s just a canned theme like the old one because I&#8217;m not a designer and also can&#8217;t afford one. That&#8217;s not the only difference though.

		<description><![CDATA[Update Feb 15:
You've gone and made it even worse by adding e-commerce experience as yet another requirement. Have you had anyone apply who's not still in high school? This is still only $2.00 over minimum wage. I can't even get a guy to come lay tile in my bathroom for that price. Now you're just asking for it, I'm putting up a link to <a href="http://fresno.craigslist.org/web/1601957999.html">this shameful job posting.</a>
<hr />

I might make this a regular feature because I think pointing out some of these bad job listings in a humorous way may help some businesses figure out how to attract great web developers and designers. I'm hoping this will be both funny and educational. This is an example from Fresno's craigslist. I'm going to copy it here stripping out most of the identifying information to protect the guilty.

		<description><![CDATA[I have two good options for internet service at my home in the Fresno High area: AT&#038;T DSL which tops out at 1.5Mbits at my location or comcast which is much faster but can't be unbundled from cable TV service which I don't want and costs almost $80 / month. This is not attractive to a young professional like myself and doesn't score the city any points when trying to attract other young professionals to the area.
