		<title>A 30TB Open Source File Server for under $6,000</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m floored by what &#8220;Enterprise Storage Solutions&#8221; cost.  $40,000 to $50,000 will buy you a fully redundant, fault-tolerant system in an integrated package with something approaching 20TB of storage.  However, we can get 90% of the functionality for under $6,000 and 95% of it for under $8,000.  For smaller businesses with big storage needs (such [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jon Stewart on Apple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the REACT police task force (for which Apple is an advisor) decided to raid the home of a Gizmodo journalist over the iPhone 4G scoop, Jon Stewart had this to say:
Apple &#8211; you guys were the rebels, man, the underdogs. People believed  in you. But now, are you becoming the man? Remember back [...]]]></description>

		<title>My House Is Stupid (And So Is Yours)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My iPad has a 1GHz CPU, 64GB of storage, location awareness, spatial orientation awareness, wi-fi connectivity and the ability for it&#8217;s various apps to work with one another (e.g.:  Pages sends to email, email sends to Photos, etc.).
Our cars have dozens of computer chips, miles of cable and intelligent systems that warn us of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I&#8217;m Buying an iPad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is about my personal reasons for buying an iPad.  I think they are going to sell a gazillion of them, but for many different reasons.  I&#8217;m not covering all the reasons I think the iPad&#8217;s time has come.  I&#8217;m only covering why its time has come for me.
This is my current [...]]]></description>

		<title>Look what my daughter did!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is Ariel&#8217;s rather steampunk creation in brass and laser-cut acrylic:  a school supply box made at Techshop Durham.  I just advised and assisted:  this is her creation.  She&#8217;ll be 14 on Monday, so I&#8217;m pretty darn proud of her work!

TechShop has been a great influence on Ariel.  She&#8217;s now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rapid Prototyping Technology for Furniture Fabrication</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(i.e.:  make it out of cardboard first)

I&#8217;m planning to use the ShopBot and a sheet of 3/4-inch MDF to make a cocktail table (that sounds so much more glamorous and retro than &#8220;coffee table&#8221;, don&#8217;t you think?) for our living room.  I&#8217;m designing the whole thing in PartWorks then I&#8217;ll feed the plan [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dr. Who Reading Glasses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah&#8230; the joys of growing older but not up!
Here I sit in my recently acquired reading glasses &#8212; which Ariel insisted must be similar to those of David Tennant&#8217;s version of Dr. Who.

		<title>Home Entertainment System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A glass of wine.  A plate of cheese.  A load of laundry.  Entertainment at it&#8217;s finest!

Our old washer (14 years old) finally broke again, so we bit the bullet and bought one a new washer and dryer (old dryer was 20!).  High efficiency front-loader.  Wow &#8212; estimated annual energy cost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back in the States</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We returned from Ireland a few days ago &#8212; I do believe it would be a nice place to live for a while.  The Irish are incredibly helpful, friendly, and people-focused.  It&#8217;s an amazingly cool place.
What wasn&#8217;t so cool was the horrific stomach flu we caught.  We&#8217;re still recovering a week later! [...]]]></description>
