		<title>Cyclists, Drivers, and Vigilantes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[July 4th weekend saw a pretty horrific encounter between a driver and two bicyclists in Los Angeles.  The residents of the community involved are upset about how cyclists have come to make driving difficult, cyclists are in an uproar about the outrageous behavior of the driver, the police are involved, and it&#8217;s starting to garner [...]]]></description>

		<title>HP 5MP Service Manual</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you happen to own an HP 5MP Laserjet printer, than you&#8217;ll probably be interested in HP5MPServiceManual.pdf - the service manual for it.   If you don&#8217;t, than let me explain &#8230;
In the center of the desk that my wife and I share sits one of these printers.  It is easily the oldest piece of [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Hi, this is Mark from Experian. We&#8217;re calling to update your contact information&#8230;&#8221;

That&#8217;s how I was greeted when I answered the phone just now.  This was nominally someone from one of the big 3 credit reporting agencies calling to make sure they had current contact information for their database.  Harmless enough, right?
Well&#8230; probably. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Common Threads</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently stumbled across a nice thread cutting across my favorite comic strips. The latest XKCD.com strip features a quite literal mashup of XKCD&#8217;s stick figures and Bill Waterson&#8217;s Calvin &#38; Hobbes.  And Bill Waterson was an unabashed admirer of Charles Schulz and Peanuts, as shown in the piece he wrote for the LA [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maybe it&#8217;s because dogs don&#8217;t see color&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ll admit it, we watch a fair bit of TV.  It&#8217;s a mixed bag of stuff - MythBusters, CSI, The Daily Show, NFL Football, Hockey - visually and aurally pretty stimulating stuff I think.  Yet regardless of what&#8217;s on, our dog, Roni, remains profoundly oblivious.  She chews her tennis ball, or lies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Network Solutions Problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick little post for anyone who happens to be looking for some place to register a domain:  Avoid Network Solutions like the plague.  Their service is overpriced, their website is nearly unusable, and their customer support department is either incompetent or deceptive (or both).
On the positive side, I continue to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Star Guide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My father and I have always enjoyed gazing at the night sky together.  As a child, I would stand or lie next to him in some dew-filled meadow, trying to ignore the growing chill and the ache in my neck as he guided me from star to planet to constellation.  I grew up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cricket</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve mentioned from time to time how keeping a blog has shaped not just my ability to write, but also to be a critical thinker.  It has raised my awareness of the value of speaking clearly and eloguently.
That point was driven home again today while I was looking into the [geeky protocol I&#8217;m playing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free (as in, &#8220;really!&#8221;) Audio Books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Holy crap, how is it that nobody&#8217;s told me about LibriVox.org before?  Tons of public domain audio books, as read by volunteers from around the world.  Free, and in MP3 and OGG formats.  What&#8217;s not to love!

		<title>Documenting JavaScript - jGrouseDoc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, I&#8217;ve spent a lot of time searching for (and even creating) tools that do automatic documentation of JavaScript.  As anyone familiar with this issue can attest to, it&#8217;s not an easy problem to solve, and the tools available seem to yield mediocre results at best.
There is, however, a new entry into [...]]]></description>
