		<title>I have seen the future of the web and it is shiny [UPDATED]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Web 2.0 is here. Sure, it&#8217;s the future of the Internet, but since the Internet waits for nobody, we need to deal with this wonderful future technology now.]]></description>

		<title>Breakfast of Champions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I went to lunch with a friend and Las Vegas blogger Hurricane Mikey yesterday. He actually writes in his blog, as opposed to me. I just pay hosting fees and occasionally pop in with something interesting to say or (more probably) something to complain about.]]></description>

		<title>Fry&#8217;s price matching works!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;m genuinely surprised in a happy way. 
	Fry&#8217;s has a price matching policy. It&#8217;s not plastered all over the store, but I found it on the good ol&#8217; Interweb after a short search:
	If within 30 days of purchasing an item from Fry&#8217;s you see a lower in-stock price at a local competitor with a low price guarantee, Fry&#8217;s will cheerfully refund 110% of the amount of the competitor&#8217;s low price guarantee.]]></description>

		<title>I am officially old.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	There were things I did in my younger, crazier years that would probably kill me if I attempted them now. And if they didn’t kill me, I’d probably want to be dead. It’s no secret that I like my spicy food really hot, usually as hot as or hotter than a restaurant can make it.]]></description>

		<title>Lucky me! A job offer.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	The world must know about me now. I&#8217;m getting job offers from companies I haven&#8217;t even sent an application. Heck, I&#8217;m not even looking for a job, being rather happy with my current employment circumstances.]]></description>

		<title>Wanna sell me something? Think carefully about how you do it&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	ARRGH! An insistent little person just rang my doorbell trying to get me to use her carpet cleaning service. Um &#8230; no &#8230; I don&#8217;t think so. I told her nicely that there is no solicitation in this neighborhood and she should probably leave.]]></description>

		<title>Telemarketing scum: Wizard Carpet Cleaners of Las Vegas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I loathe telemarketing calls. That&#8217;s why our home phone is on the National Do Not Call Registry. When a telemarketer calls, I alert them to this fact and ask them to remove our number from their list.]]></description>
