		<title>New home storage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m looking to put together a new storage solution at home and I think I&#8217;ve mostly settled on the parts. I&#8217;ll be reusing a case, and that&#8217;s about it. Here are the parts I&#8217;m looking at buying. Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-M ($99.99) Processor: AMD Athlon II X3 450 ($77.99) RAM: G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (2 x [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scissors for Hitler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[STEP ONE: Someone claims to be deeply offended that members of some minority are being treated just like members of the majority are. Equality under the law is portrayed as an attack on the majority, an insult and an affront to their way of life. Left-handed children need to assimilate. Our schools are bending over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sole Loyalty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But [...]]]></description>

		<title>SCOwned: no new trial, Novell can shut down IBM lawsuit</title>

		<title>ALA: Responsive Web Design</title>

Two of the three dominant video game consoles have web browsers (and one of them is quite excellent). We’re designing for mice and keyboards, for T9 keypads, for handheld game [...]]]></description>

It has been harder before. I was a little concerned about Mocha&#8217;s behavior at the vet. He has been so much [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Facebook Drama</title>

Just glad I made the decision to leave. This could still have affected me to some degree, but it cannot any more.]]></description>

However, there&#8217;s been a big push in the last few months to get &#8220;real&#8221; fonts out on the web and usable by websites. Typekit and a few others have been offering services for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bye Bye H.264; Hello WebM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google's long-awaited open-sourcing of the VP8 video codec has finally happened and both Mozilla and Opera are on board with it. The new codec and container combine decent quality with open source licensing and royalty freedom. Might this be enough to topple H.264 as the Web video codec of choice?]]></description>

		<title>Jury &#8220;Service&#8221; Wrap-up</title>

If you listened to the far too energetic and canned speech that Loren Jackson (Harris County District Clerk) gave everyone before panel selection, it is Jury &#8220;Service&#8221;, not duty. Whatever. The following is my lengthy and rather dry retelling of my experiences for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jury Duty</title>

Kind of looking forward to it as it will be the first time I&#8217;ve been summoned and haven&#8217;t been in school, etc. Yet, even that excitement is tempered with misgivings about the system. I believe that for a democracy to work, its citizens must be involved, however, I do not [...]]]></description>
