		<title>OpenMRS shines in Haiti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am utterly not surprised to hear that OpenMRS is shining in Haiti.
This reminds me of the tremendous reponse that the VA had to hurricane katrina using VistA. For fun you should ask those involved for the inside scoop of how VistA enabled an entire hospital to uproot and move over the course of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>VistA License debate: its about proprietarization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looks like WorldVistA is, for now, holding fast to the GPL and AGPL for VistA licensing. I have been a vocal advocate for compromising with DSS and Open Health Tools around the LGPL. The LGPL would allow for some innovations to be licensed under the GPL, and others, in the core of VistA to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cloud + VistA = Astronaut Shuttle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not sure how many people out there have tried Astronaut Shuttle yet.
First, let me get the caveats out of the way. Ignacio Valdes, the CEO of Astronaut (the company) hired me to do most of the cloud related work on shuttle. So I am financially biased on this. I chose to take the [...]]]></description>

		<title>gvim over ssh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I use vi for development.
I keenly remember one of Dr. Eggen&#8217;s early lectures to us.
&#8220;There are other editors out there, but if you learn to use vi, you will have a powerful editor on every unix server you ever use&#8230;&#8221; (or something like)

		<title>To Senator Grassely on EHR problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Senator Chuck Grassely has sent out some letters to several proprietary EHR vendors asking some pretty direct questions. Here is the relevant excerpts.
Over the past year, I have received complaints from patients, medical
