		<title>Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Blogging has been on hold recently, and will probably continue to be until I have a bit more time between work and school (read: this summer).
I hope to shift towards writing some more tech-related articles as time goes on, some commentary and some regarding issues I&#8217;ve run across and solved.

		<title>It Works!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;A similar report Wednesday showed oil, gasoline and other fuel supplies unexpectedly rose sharply. Traders saw both the petroleum and natural gas reports as reasons to sell, as they reinforce data that show consumers are cutting back on their energy use.&#8221;
-http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080717/oil_prices.html
It would seem that oil being so expensive encouraged people to use less.
Huh, the laws [...]]]></description>

		<title>Locally Grown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having recently had the opportunity to visit two of the local farmers&#8217; markets, I thought I&#8217;d share a few thoughts.
Last week I stopped by the Sparks farmer&#8217;s market in Victorian square. I was less than impressed. While I understand that it is early in the growing season and many growers don&#8217;t have much available yet, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Discriminate.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This started out as a comment on David&#8217;s post regarding race and college admission, but I decided to go ahead and post it here instead of leaving a small book in his comment section.
It irks me to no end when people pull the discrimination card when its not warranted. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;to describe this video. So funny and entertaining, while absolutely idiotic at the same time.

		<title>Google Street View</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those who haven&#8217;t noticed, in the last week or so Google Maps has added a huge amount of Street View images. Almost the entire Reno-Carson-Tahoe area is now available, as well as a large majority of California (including fairly small towns like Truckee, Nevada City and Grass Valley).
All of the images appear to have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slowing Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every so often, my job takes me to neighboring towns. Being in northern Nevada, that almost always equals  small towns. If I happen to be there around lunch time I like to pick a local deli or cafe at random and try to find a local newspaper to read while I eat. Its amazing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spin the wheel of random statistics.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From CNN.com:
&#8220;Indeed, the survey found that upwardly mobile, middle-class families were among those who had the most debt stress. Others were women, couples with small children, low-income working families, Democrats and those who graduated high school but haven&#8217;t taken college courses. Those least likely to be stressed from debt include men, retirees, empty nesters, college [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new Gin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, I overheard someone talking about a new gin being produced by Anchor Distilling (a.k.a. Anchor Brewing) in San Francisco.  I finally had the chance to try it a few weeks ago, as Ben&#8217;s Fine Wine started carrying it. So far, it&#8217;s the only place outside of the Bay Area that [...]]]></description>
