		<title>Flying with rude people? Do a Steven Slater</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a big bru-ha-ha in the press these past couple of days because of the antics of Steven Slater &#8211; a (now ex) flight attendant for JetBlue airways. I&#8217;ll spare you the details as they are easily available. However, I will comment on some of the reaction to the event that sparked Steven&#8217;s spectacular [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Feeling the love&#8221; at weddings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I recover from a busy couple of weeks, it&#8217;s time to reflect on the whole wedding thing. Our busy-ness was due to a our friends Ryan Whitney and Jessica Zipser who were tying the knot in San Francisco followed by a celebratory knees-up in Orange County. Not to miss the opportunity for a par-taaay [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firstrade &#8211; born to invest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, the stock-market. Don&#8217;t you just love it? The romance. The swashbuckling cut and thrust of stock trading on the floor. Men in funny suits, waving their hands around and gesticulating furiously at each other. Ok, I admit &#8211; I know not the first thing about trading stocks. I&#8217;m the kind of guy who if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are Westboro Baptist Church members mad?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[God hates fags, apparently. Quite right too &#8211; they give you lung cancer. Oh, hang on you mean &#8220;fags&#8221; as in homosexuals? Does S/He? Really? If you believe Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church gang of nasty, hate filled bags of vileness, then yes, God hates &#8220;fags&#8221;&#8230; and Canadians&#8230; and Mexicans&#8230; and America. Oh, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Backpacking San Grogornio, California</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend I went on my first ever backpacking trip. For those who don&#8217;t know, this is like going on a hike with a bit more &#8211; the main factor being that you stay overnight somewhere in the back-end of nowhere. So yes, you have to carry everything with you &#8211; tent, sleeping pad [...]]]></description>

		<title>TV deals everywhere, but shame about their websites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Continuing on with our TV topic, there are a plethora of providers out there all claiming to offer a good deal. However, there is one thing I notice about sites like this. To be honest they&#8217;re a bit crappy and don&#8217;t inspire me to sign up with them. Dish Pronto is one such case, who [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone is the future &#8211; and as always I&#8217;m late to the party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me qualify this title by saying I&#8217;m late to the iPhone app development party. You see, I&#8217;ve been slowly making my way in the website design and development business. I&#8217;m doing ok. Could be better, mind you. However, in the past year or so I&#8217;ve wanted to try something more exciting. Last August I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting better TV rates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All TV is really &#8216;direct&#8217; I suppose. You don&#8217;t get it from the supermarket or the bakers &#8211; no, it comes to your house whether by satellite, cable or good old fashioned aerial on the roof. Therefore DirecTV is an odd name for a satellite provider. It kind of states the obvious. Nevertheless it&#8217;s what [...]]]></description>

To say I was ecstatic would be about right. It&#8217;s been a few days now, and i still love it. In fact I&#8217;m writing [...]]]></description>
