		<title>Something is Rank Here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This blog has been in Page Rank penalty for quite a while, making me even less inclined to post or upgrade than I might otherwise have been. I couldn&#8217;t figure out what I might have linked to get it down and keep it down so long. Yesterday I found myself looking at some of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firefox 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I upgraded to Firefox 4 yesterday when prompted, with mild trepidation, but excited about what I&#8217;d read of its ability to eliminate the need for things like Flash, using functionality native to HTML 5. So far so good. I haven&#8217;t hated it enough to go back. It does seem to load pages faster, which is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Computer Show Shock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to my first computer show in 1992, almost 19 years ago. I used to go regularly, buying parts to build or fix my own machines, or ones for other people. It was the place to go. It was routinely mobbed. With my own business, parts vendors, and limited need, I stopped going very [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thou Art Martian?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s within the realm of the possible, and someday perhaps we&#8217;ll find out. I find that sort of thing intensely exciting.]]></description>

		<title>First Real Vista Complaint</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a history of paying retail for versions of Windows that are later considered duds, whether I have issues with them or not. Well, if two in all can be called &#8220;a history.&#8221; I bought WinMe when it was current, and when I built this machine, I bought Windows Vista Ultimate. The machine with [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on the Merger Plus Wireless News Generally</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fear the merger? Don&#8217;t fear the merger? Mileage varies! Maybe everybody loses and it&#8217;s unthinkable, or maybe the industry overall is so vibrant there&#8217;s no need to block it (which we all know has no bearing on whether or not it actually gets blocked). Perhaps the carriers ought to work on the problem of cell [...]]]></description>

		<title>Duh?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You Are a Geek You definitely have some nerdy ways, but you&#8217;ve evolved into something way cooler &#8211; a geek. You are free spirited and quirky. You&#8217;re proud of who you are, and you&#8217;ve got style. You may not fit in completely, but you don&#8217;t have any problems socializing. You&#8217;re witty, smart, and very knowledgable.

		<title>Yeah, I Think of Them as Safe Too&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As noted by voluntaryXchange, the preferred malware vector is now PDF files. Which is logical, given their ubiquity and the apparent vulnerability they make available. I haven&#8217;t kept up on these things as much as I might have, since I fell out of being a computer geek for a living.]]></description>

		<title>Fear the Media Meltdown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not the nuclear one! Great and detailed sense and information on what is actually happening, what dosages mean, and the media and anti-nuke industry reaction have been. It&#8217;s not nothing, but it&#8217;s not Chernobyl and can&#8217;t be, nor is it Three Mile Island. But then, from what I understood, seemingly refuted by all the references [...]]]></description>
