		<title>Motorola Droid and Google&#8217;s Android OS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So last November, I finally got a smartphone (through work no less).  Gotta love not having to pay that monthly phone+data bill.  The iPhone always had a lot of appeal to me, but the thought of having to switch to AT&#38;T wasn&#8217;t especially attractive to me.  I&#8217;m not big on the restrictions Verizon usually places [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas snow in Illinois</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally getting around to going through photos I&#8217;ve taken recently and uploaded a set I took of the snow while we were in Champaign for Christmas.  Here&#8217;s a sample that I liked with Sarah chasing Rachel down the street with a snow shovel full of snow:

		<title>eMusic makes me a sad panda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a happy happy joy joy subscriber at eMusic since 2005.  I wasn&#8217;t sure what I thought initially when Lee clued me into it (indie music being a new thing for me), but after that first month I was hooked.  Took me a few months and then I bumped up to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rackable acquires SGI?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well this is certainly not something I expected.  SGI is one of the few HPC vendors out there that I&#8217;m aware of who are still doing neat things with hardware.  We&#8217;ve got some of their large SMP Itanium boxes on the floor where I work, and I think they&#8217;re pretty slick machines.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Woz takes job at Fusion-io</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this story has been all over the place (at least if you read computing/HPC news).  Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer and designer of the historically significant Apple I and Apple II, took a job as chief scientist at a startup I was already aware of, Fusion-io.  They&#8217;ve been designing PCIe boards [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nashville Photos: Lane Motor Museum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, we went up to Nashville and hit a number of the sights.  I&#8217;ll go ahead and split this into two posts, since I&#8217;ve only uploaded some of the relevant photos so far.  The first day, we hit their recreation of the Parthenon.  Apparently, it&#8217;s actually the second [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cat Diary, Day 38,974 &#8211; Now where did I leave my dignity?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My masters have hauled me down to this strange new land they keep referring to as The South.  It seems like I&#8217;ve been hear for ages, which is apparently just long enough for them to inflict me with a bladder infection.  I felt so uncomfortable I showed them who&#8217;s boss by peeing in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Research in Alabama &#8211; scorpions fight cancer at UAB</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Medical researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered a new use for scorpion venom &#8212; cancer medication. Each year, some 9,000 Americans are diagnosed with malignant glioma, a form of brain cancer that kills about half its victims within a year of diagnosis.
Glioma cells work a lot like cockroach muscle cells. [...]]]></description>
