		<title>What I really want&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;is a cheap stick-shift car. Why? Because I want to re-learn how to drive a stick shift. I once knew by learning with a friend&#8217;s minivan. Yep, that&#8217;s right&#8230;a stick-shift minivan. That of course was well over a decade ago. Wow, a decade already? Blimey, I&#8217;m old&#8230;

		<title>Computers: love vs. hate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a guy at work that says &#8220;computers are like women&#8230;hate to deal with them but can&#8217;t live without them&#8221;.
When things are working correctly computers are great. Entertainment, work etc etc. Plus, there&#8217;s that little thing called the internet. 
I must say, I really like my current laptop computer. MacBook Pro works great and it [...]]]></description>

		<title>never enough fuzz</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love fuzz! If you aren&#8217;t a guitar player or musician that hangs around guitar players you&#8217;re probably looking at an old blanket thinking &#8220;huh&#8221;?
Fuzz is an effect. I&#8217;ll keep this basic: It kinda started with the Fuzz Face and the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff. Yes, I know there are others, so don&#8217;t burn me because [...]]]></description>

		<title>this vs that vs those</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m one of those people that always thinks there&#8217;s something better than the item I&#8217;m interested in. I decide I need/want something, find something I like, and then search for something that&#8217;s &#8220;better&#8221; only to debate between the two items endlessly until they are both out of date. I&#8217;m either too picky, or indecisive&#8230;I haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>dumbing down sports for network TV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll admit it, I&#8217;m not a huge fan of the typical popular sports in the U.S. I love watching the Trailblazers play basketball, but with other teams playing I lose interest. I&#8217;ll watch football&#8230;only if there&#8217;s nothing better on. I enjoy watching the Twins and Brewers in baseball; other than that I get bored quickly. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thanks for nothing VW</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some people may know I really really wanted a 2010 VW GTI 4-door, Carbon Gray Metallic, with DSG and sunroof. The problem was that I tried to order one from the dealer too late. By the time I got talking with the dealer, VW had moved on from 2010s. VW stopped taking orders for 2010s, [...]]]></description>

		<title>bye bye Yahoo!&#8230;hello Google</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s be honest&#8230;the majority of people internetting have always relied on Google as their primary search engine. I have not. To me, a search engine was always a search engine. Both Yahoo! and Google worked well for me, but Yahoo! had the bonus of quickly checking up on news and a bunch of other random [...]]]></description>

		<title>there are bikes, and then there are bikes&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I say bike I mean bike&#8230;bicycles. Not motorcycles or motorbikes. Pedals with human legs pushing them to make them go. 
Back as a kid I think I rode my bike everyday&#8230;or at least nearly everyday. I remember I had an old-styled red one. Finally I got a BMX bike&#8230;my black Huffy. That bike saw [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things noticed in Portland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still in Portland. It&#8217;s quite fun. Here are a few things I&#8217;ve been noticing:
1. There are lots and lots of Mini Coopers. I see more Minis than VW Golf/Rabbit/GTIs (and I did see a Rabbit today).
2. Cars all over are parked on the wrong side of the street in residential parts. For example: if [...]]]></description>
