		<description><![CDATA[The company I work for, has a rather large campus.  Our campus resides within 3 different ZIP codes.  The ZIP code I normally use (which is on our division&#8217;s stationary) is the only used by one building on campus (mine).  Go figure.  Usually, it&#8217;s 50/50 on whether or not UPS will screw up the delivery [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently did a bit of reading up on English accents, particularly accents and dialects of American English.  Being here in Texas, some of my native-Texan friends have noticed my Northeastern accent.  This particularly applies to the awe or ah sound of my &#8220;o&#8221;&#8217;s, e.g. off, coffee&#8230; so I tell them to fuck awff.
After reading [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really don&#8217;t watch much TV these days.  With the exception of a few good series (that make it past the chopping block), there&#8217;s not much there except B.S. Reality TV, game shows, singing/dancing shows, shopping networks, etc.
The one thing TV has too much of are these damn blowhards on any station you turn on, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a paltry $28k&#8230; I&#8217;m sure Detroit could do it en mass for less, but that would require them to refit, retool, etc. their assembly lines (mega bucks)&#8230; something they are really hesitant to do so with carbon-fiber (hence why they aren&#8217;t tripping over themselves to do it).

Yeah, so this one is right up those lines.
My sister, calls me up, first thing this morning so that I can part-take in sharing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[http://blogs.zdnet.com/web2explorer/?p=301
Interesting article, albeit he left out one factor in tallying up price over two years, cost of high-speed internet&#8230; figure $40/mo ($480/yr.), $50/mo. if you drop cable.  Most cable providers add $10 per/mo if you have only internet.
So if I dropped cable and went with AppleTV, internet access and a few choice shows:

AppleTV: $299
Internet ($50/mo): [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I watched a recorded interview that Steve Jobs had with Nightline on Tuesday night (9th).
Pretty boring interview, what was really odd was seeing so much of the top of Steve&#8217;s head.  Half the interview he had his head down as if in serious thought&#8230; Public Speaking 101 refresher course?
Anyway, in the interview he [...]]]></description>

If Apple is worried about crappy performance due to a 3rd party application, they should just create an [optional] Apple certification process that applications can go thru.  Then if someone bitches [...]]]></description>
