		<title>How to Fix Your HP Support Assistant Install</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning my HP laptop strongly suggested I upgrade its included support software today (the HP Support Assistant).  I foolishly accepted its offer and spent the next four hours ruing that decision, and trying to correct the damage it did.  The upgrade somehow screwed itself up (rendering the HP Support Assistant broken) and along the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Not to Motivate the Unmotivated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[My father is a semi-professional motivational speaker and has, with the very best intent, tried to motivate his children as he does his audiences...  Unfortunately the experience has never been pleasant for him nor for us.  My primary frustration has always been his bringing up prominent achievers as a means of saying, "If they can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cell Phones as R/C Quadcopter FPV TX/RX and Homing Beacon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Flying multi-rotor (particularly quadcopter) radio-controlled vehicles is a lot of fun and you can do amazing things with them, in particular some beautiful aerial photography.  While most r/c pilots do this by looking up at their craft from whatever their distance happens to be at the moment, a growing number of r/c enthusiasts are using [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Mighty Blade mQX Quadcopter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently bought the Blade mQX micro quadcopter and it is absolutely amazing!  If you think it looks fun you'd be a fool not to buy one and see just how much. For $129 (Bind-n-Fly) or $169 (Ready to Fly) you just can't go wrong. The mQX is super responsive, acrobatic, and (near as I can tell) [...]]]></description>

		<title>The High Cost of Ethical Dog Ownership &amp; The Questionable Morality of Paying It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently began a campaign of de-cluttering my life by scanning all my bulky paper documents into an e-filing system (Rack2-Filer via the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500). During yesterday's scanning foray I hit my cache of veterinary bills, covering the five years I've had Osita, my Chow-Shar Pei mix and briefly Lupa, my very old stray [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Great eBay and PayPal Rip-Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's been years since I had anything for sale on eBay... I recently wanted to sell a new Lytro camera I'd pre-ordered last year and upon receipt realized I didn't want.  eBay seemed like the right place to sell it, what with the national exposure, safety of seeing people's reputation, etc.  And ultimately it proved [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lytro Alternative: Automatic, Intelligent Focus Bracketing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now in my early post-Lytro days I've been wondering how I could achieve the same effect with better results, not wanting to wait the years it might take for them to come up with a suitable next generation model.  Lytro's only real selling point at this moment is it's ability to take "living pictures" (their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Andrew Bird: Shut up and play, you&#8217;re not that clever!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are few musicians I react to quite like I do Andrew Bird.  The notes coming out of his instruments I enjoy quite a lot, but his lyrics I find distractingly infuriating.  His lyrics remind me of the comments a teacher's pet might make after being called upon in a high school physics class.  His [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lytro Experience, Day Three: Not For Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I pre-ordered the Lytro back in October, excited by the stunning live demos on their site.  A camera that captures a focus-less light field and allows you to do the focal interpretation later was just too amazing not to buy.  The potential and real advantages were immediately obvious: stunning "live" photos, potential for effective single [...]]]></description>

		<title>If Sandra Fluke is a Slut then Rush Limbaugh is a Dope Fiend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Immensely popular conservative radio talk show host recently Rush Limbaugh used the terms "slut" and "prostitute" to refer to a student advocate for mandated funding of female contraception.  Sandra Fluke's comments before a congress panel can probably be summed as fellow students didn't have a lot of money and providing contraception as part of health [...]]]></description>
