		<title>You get what you pay for &#8211; government funds bad nutrition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ A lot of people have tweeted “Why a Big Mac Costs Less Than a Salad”. Sadly, I’m guessing most read the tweet but don’t do any further research. It’s just a sound bite.
The real story is that while the First Lady is campaigning against child obesity and making news on the importance of good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Installing a &#8220;closet organizer&#8221; in the shop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems, no matter how much space you have, you end up filling it up and wanting more. The shop is no different.
 The “uncluttering” solution is to (1) sell, give way, and throw out the stuff you don’t need and (2) use space more effectively. I did a little of the first and a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rural life &#8211; the [not] lost art of personalized service</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Living in rural America you are not likely to find a Starbucks, Target, Cosco, movie multiplex, Home Depot, Trader Joes, commercial airport, or a wide range of fine dining and entertainment hotspots “just around the corner”. More likely they are 90 miles in one direction or another. What you will find is a collection [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking bets, &#8220;how long before I hit my head&quot;?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ It was a marathon session with some “creative CYA” but most of the spiral staircase is it.
Still to be done is the wood treads for the risers along with the balusters and handrail. If it were not such a huge safety and code violation, I’d love to leave the balusters and handrail off as [...]]]></description>

		<title>A &#8220;Eureka&#8221; moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Idealists don&#8217;t get much done without a few pragmatists running interferance for them.&#8221;
I&#8217;m thankful for all the pragmatists in my life (even those who don&#8217;t realize they fill the role).

		<title>Better looking fonts on 1920&#215;1080 HDMI monitors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a quick tip for anyone using a 1080p TV/monitor for their computer display. Odds are good you don’t like the look of the fonts. The problem is that a 32” (or 42” or 52”) screen was not meant to be seen from 18” away. Add to that that 1920 pixels across a 32” [...]]]></description>

		<title>XBMC (on the Acer Revo) is *the* new media player</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I think Popcorn Hour shot themselves in the foot when they launched their next generation C-200 media player. For about $300 (US) you get a box that does what it does and nothing more, has not native disk storage, has a small but fervent following and is not hugely customizable.
On the other hand, for [...]]]></description>
