		<title>Philadelphia Demands $300 Business Privilege Tax for Blog Operators</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Among the many other reasons I am grateful not to live in Philadelphia anymore is their new cash-grab attempt; a $300 tax on all potentially profitable speech made over the internet.
For the past three years, Marilyn Bess has operated MS Philly Organic, a small, low-traffic blog that features occasional posts about green living, out of her [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Plug the damn hole&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Plug the damn hole.&#8221;
Really, Obama? That&#8217;s your solution?
I suppose now that you&#8217;ve angrily chastised BP, they&#8217;ll magically find a way that works, because that&#8217;s what it really takes &#8211; a presidential missive to &#8220;plug the damn hole.&#8221;
Brilliant.
&#8220;If you could control an oil spill with lawyers and regulation-writers, and by signing papers and obtaining court injunctions [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Accident</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An anonymous source provided me with the following PDF, containing some fairly gripping photographs of the accident at Deepwater Horizon.
Horizon Accident
Interesting stuff. Quite tragic, in fact. But is it really a good reason to halt all new offshore drilling projects?

		<title>New Blog Software Installed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry if anyone had links to my old bblog installation. That software was too limited. WordPress is much, much nicer. Though for the amount of blogging I do, it&#8217;s probably super-mega overkill.
Oh well.

		<title>GM Passlock II Sucks &#8211; Or, why won&#8217;t my GM vehicle start?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a 1998 Chevy Tahoe. It&#8217;s been a great truck. I bought it with around 90k miles, and it now has around 134k miles. I&#8217;ve driven it to Alaska, Minnesota, Colorado and other distant places. I love how capable it is off-road, while still being somewhat &#8220;luxurious&#8221; with its heated leather seats and cushy [...]]]></description>

		<title>American Community Survey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am one of the many unfortunate recipients of the American Community Survey.
I believe the questions in it to be invasive to the point of being unconstitutional.
The survey paperwork threatens fines and possible imprisonment if it is not answered.
I&#8217;ve written to my representative Robert Andrews for advice on the matter.
I do not plan to answer [...]]]></description>

		<title>How-To: Load Raster Maps From NOAA onto your Magellan Triton 2000 GPS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When the Magellan Triton 2000 GPS came out, I was in the market for a new GPS unit, as my Garmin eTrex Vista had been stolen.
I was immediately frustrated with the lack of a useful base map on the unit, and with the cruddy TOPO Explorer software they provided. After some months National Geographic finally [...]]]></description>

		<title>HTC Touch Pro / AT&amp;T Fuze Review &#8211; Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m quite happy with my Fuze.
The only thing that has really frustrated me so far is the WiFi performance. It really just doesn&#8217;t seem to work right under some circumstances, so I&#8217;m going to have to do some reading over at xda-developers and see what&#8217;s up. I&#8217;ve heard a variety of rumors, like one that [...]]]></description>

		<title>AT&amp;T Fuze / Touch Pro / HTC P4600 Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is all based on initial impressions. Some of this may change as I get to know the device a little better.
The Good
The graphics are awesome. Once you go VGA, you&#8217;ll never go back. The sharpness and smoothness makes reading so much easier. Graphic performance on the Fuze also seems quite excellent compared to the [...]]]></description>
