		<title>Eat Food.  Not Too Much.  Mostly Vegetables.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This&#160;book&#160;has made more sense to me than anything I&#8217;ve read before about diet.  Although the author doesn&#8217;t use this analogy, it makes the large-scale food processing industry look a lot like the tobacco industry:  huge corporations in the business of finding out how to make a product that sells, not one that is [...]]]></description>

		<title>IMPORTANT NOTICE about changes to your policy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#160;

We just got our renewal to our State Farm homeowner&#8217;s policy, and like every year, there&#8217;s a rider with new exclusions of coverage.
I thought this one was ominous:
&#8220;This policy is revised to exclude coverage for loss arising out of nuclear reaction, radiation or radioactive contamination from any source, or any detonation of, or release of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Coolest Electric/Hybrid Car</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This&#160;is&#160;in production and will be available next year.  The electric-only version charges in a couple of hours, and goes for 120 miles.  The hybrid version, capable of going 300 miles on a gallon of gasoline, will be on sale in 2009 for around $30,000.  I want one.

		<title>What Passes for Debate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Although I&#8217;ve been a Hillary supporter up to now, last week&#8217;s &#34;debate&#34; between Obama and Clinton on ABC was a turning point for me.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I still support Hillary, and I think she&#8217;d make a great executive, but I no longer am cheering for her to win.
Notwithstanding the shameful performance by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Update to &#8220;Why Most Web Developers Loathe Microsoft&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In&#160;an&#160;amazing&#160;move by Microsoft, last week they capitulated to the public uproar from the web developer community and announced that they would release Internet Explorer 8.0, now in beta, set to render web pages in &#8220;standards mode,&#8221; which means that it  should  now work with web pages developed to the international standard.  Previously, [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Say It&#8217;s Your Birthday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year is the first year I find myself getting birthday greetings from corporations I&#8217;ve done business with in the past.  This morning, my birthday, I got an automated call from the president Hansel Toyota in Petaluma, who we got our car from.
I find it unsettling on many levels.  First, the fact that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shameless plug</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so I&#8217;m getting a small discount for plugging this site, but it&#8217;s small enough (5%) to influence me to place this link, but not to lie about the company.  We&#8217;ve been looking to upgrade our memory in our Mac Pros from 4 to 8 GB.  It sounds crazy, but we both are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Most Web Developers Loathe Microsoft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;ve just finished a very frustrating two days trying to figure out why this site, and another one I&#8217;m developing will not display correctly on Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or 7. My partner is sick to death of my rantings (and his own) about this subject, but as two developers who are constantly having [...]]]></description>
