		<description><![CDATA[I love the Richard Muller lectures over at UCBerkeley.  You can enjoy them too, for free.
I was stumbling through Dr. Muller&#8217;s web site today and I ran across this article on weight loss.  He basically says the same things I&#8217;ve repeated here before (which I learned and repeated from The Hacker&#8217;s Diet).  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lake Lanier north of Atlanta is at record low levels, for various reasons.
I took this first panorama photo of a sunrise at the north end of the lake in October 2006.

This is the same area of the lake in December, 2007.  It&#8217;s about 15 feet lower.

Here&#8217;s a zoom in on some mobile boat docks.  Some [...]]]></description>

My son had heard about a technique for picking them, and so had Google.  It turns out there are several videos [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw that the ISS and the Space Shuttle mission 117 would be visible briefly over my neighborhood tonight.  Since the pass was so low (they both entered the earth&#8217;s shadow at only 45 degrees up) I went up the hill to watch from &#8220;Summit Lane&#8221;.  And I took my camera.  Not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a new setup at work where I&#8217;m now using a laptop and an external display in a dual-monitor setup.  I&#8217;ve heard everyone rave for years about how MultiMon is an &#8220;must-have&#8221; utility for dual-screen users, but I wanted something very specific.  I looked around and MultiMon actually claims to do what I want.

		<description><![CDATA[I bought my first house in Atlanta 12 years ago.  It came with a 2000 square foot carpet disaster.  I was broke and the house was all I could afford.  I couldn&#8217;t afford new carpeting for 2000 sq feet of house!  Or so I thought.
A friend told me to call Tom McAllister.  I am so [...]]]></description>

The default labels are Work, Personal, Important, To Do, [...]]]></description>

Coincidentally when I was looking at Oatmeal Calories today, I found this article about plateaus. It has some other interesting tips about managing a weight loss program.  Some of them I&#8217;ve been dismissive of before, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pity the poor remnants of Ma Bell.  They can&#8217;t help but be bureaucratic after decades of over-regulation and &#8220;5 nines&#8221; of reliability requirements.  But Oh My God, it&#8217;s hard to deal with them.
And this is why Cable Modems will win.
Consider these examples:
In 2001 I ported my phone number from Bellsouth service to Comcast. [...]]]></description>
