		<description><![CDATA[After humping it for quite a few years with family and Contegix, it is now time to get back to blogging.  It has been too long.  I already have a few posts in draft format that will be ready to go over the next few days and weeks.

		<title>Upgraded to Wordpress MU 1.5.1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just upgraded this Wordpress blog to 1.5.1 which is based upon the 2.5.1 Wordpress codebase.  While Wordpress MU 2.6 has been released, the upgrade process appeared to succeed; however, it would not allow me to login as any user except 'admin' to access the per-user blogs.
C'est la vie.  Wordpress 1.5.1 will have to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Apple Fanatic Lemmings&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, apparently people are lining up at the New York Apple Store.  This is the same store that has been out of iPhones for about 2 weeks.  This is also the store that is open 24 hours a day.

		<title>Dear TiVo, We Had Some Good Times But I Need to Move On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In November 2006, we purchased a high definition Panasonic 42" plasma television for our family room. Our crappy 22 inch TV was developing dark spots and fading.  Courtney wanted a panel television due to the odd layout of our family room.  I am far from a videophile or audiophile - hell, I can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Ah, travel.  It's one of those ideas that seems really sexy when you are younger.  See new places, meet new people, all without hassles thanks to the modern day conveniences.

		<title>Obama, Train Your Campaign Callers : &#8220;I am not asking for your vote.  I am asking for your money.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Choosing a political party has always been a difficult task for me.  I am fiscally conservative but am relatively socially liberal.  For example, I believe in small government, but one that should help its citizens and not care what happens in their private lives.  I could honestly see myself voting for Ron [...]]]></description>

		<title>Applying for a Job &#8211; A How-NOT-To</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently advertised for a new administrative assistant.  This person will have contact with our customers and have some minimal billing and HR responsibilities.
