		<title>Does anyone have any asprin?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well a long, interesting week is coming to a close&#8230; finally. It seems as though both Cara and I have been magnents for disease over the past few weeks. 
Cara was fighting off a cold as we visited relatives over the holidays. As the new year approached she seemed to be getting better until the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creating a large sparse image</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It takes about 116 hours to create a 150GB encrypted sparse disk image over the network. I don&#8217;t recommend attempting it.

		<title>Dream Machine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Laptops and portability are huge right now. Someone recently said that they don’t travel without their laptop, but they don’t leave the room without their iPhone. This is true for so many of us. Convenience and portability, this is what the iPhone is, the only thing missing is horsepower (well there are a few other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finepix F30 Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, I wanted to mention that there is a way to turn off the green LED on focusing. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll get some blurry photos, but it&#8217;s nice to know I can always turn it on if I need it. Since that was the only real annoyance, I have to say that I really think [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I think of the Finepix F30</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Im a little late to the party on this, but I just picked up a Fuji Finepix F30. Curiously, this is the 3rd Fuji that I&#8217;ve bought (which is nice since I have a pile of xD memory cards that can only be used in Fujis). I bought this camera based on reviews of it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>10 years later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I left feedback for my camera auction (loving that Finepix F30), and out of curiosity I wanted to see my first piece of feedback. I had to go back more than 10 years to find it. Aug 29, 1998, a month before eBay went public.

		<title>Like they used to&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just bought a Fuji FinePix F30 off eBay for $250. In a weird twist, this camera debuted almost 3 years ago (and hasn&#8217;t been available in stores for more than 18 months). The original retail price was $399, and could have been bought for $249 in July 2006.
Doesn&#8217;t seem like anything special. It&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why does this have to be so hard?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have two HDTVs now (a 42&#8243; and a 32&#8243;), but the only High Def device we own is the Xbox360. To be honest I haven&#8217;t had a huge issue with watching standard def stuff on TV&#8230; and I consider myself a technology geek. It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m against getting HD channels, it just seems [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tray Ceiling DIY Overview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was planning our living room project, and we decided to build a tray ceiling, I spent a lot of time online looking for a DIY guide for building a tray. I couldn’t seem to find any kind of help for my situation (which I really wouldn’t have thought was all that unique): take [...]]]></description>

		<title>One more step towards greatness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since we were hosting Thanksgiving (actually the Saturday after Thanksgiving) at our place (13 total people), we had another big push to try to finish up the living room. Before our Mexican vacation I spent some time on things, but the insanity began the day after we returned.
There was a lot of painting, electrical work, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Before the jumping bean arrives (part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Other than the small issue with the hotel not having a registration for us, we were able to get to our room pretty easily. 
The next day we got roped into a &#8220;vacation club&#8221; presentation that ate away our day and set things off on a sour foot.
Luckily the next day was better as we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cara and I are on a plane headed to Cancún, the last reasonable vacation before baby arrives. I don&#8217;t mind flying (unlike Cara who really hates it). It does tend to be a number of hours of almost boredom (usually compounded upon lack of sleep). Thanfully there was a non-stop flight to Cancún from Hartford, [...]]]></description>

I was just browsing through photos on The Big Picture, specifically the set of The Next President of the United States, and I have to admit a strange feeling of patriotism which I haven&#8217;t felt&#8230; well [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m frustrated and angered by people&#8230; dumb people. Of course when you talk about politics it&#8217;s very easy for people to irritate and anger. 
What is pissing me off is people are looking at Obama and the idea of a nationalized healthcare as Communist. They&#8217;re complaining about Obama&#8217;s spend, spend, spend ideas. I don&#8217;t feel [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tee-shirt a Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, at the new job we don&#8217;t have a dress code (well, ok, I suppose we are required to wear pants&#8230; I think). So I&#8217;ve gone to running out of button down shirts and pressed slacks to, well running low on tee-shirts. I&#8217;ve decided to set a challenge for myself, I&#8217;m going to buy a [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s actually been two full months since I&#8217;ve touched the living room and dining room. Of course leading up to our pool party Cara and I [...]]]></description>
