		<title>Community Supported Agriculture with Cedar Valley Sustainable Farms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After watching Food, Inc. recently we started to investigate alternatives to the local grocery store for obtaining our meat products.

		<title>Pretending to be a Christian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw several links to this story on the New York Times Freakonomics blog this past week about a family in Texas that pretends to be Christians so that their children can socialize with other members of the community.

We are agnostics living deep in the heart of Texas and our family fakes Christianity for social [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making a perfect latte on a Rancilio Silvia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought a Rancilio Silvia espresso machine about 5 years ago and have been slowly modifying my technique to make a latte.  This is a great machine that can produce a very high quality shot and has enough power to make good quality micro-foam as well.  It has only one drawbacks as far [...]]]></description>

		<title>You gotta love the Choo Choo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had the girls just to myself for the weekend with Laura gone for a few nights.  We hit the choo choo in Des Plaines for lunch on Saturday.  Nothing&#8217;s better than getting your lunch delivered on an electric train.
They just don&#8217;t make restaurants like this anymore.

		<title>Mint.com bought by Intuit.  Oh no!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was a happy user of Quicken on the PC years ago, and after moving to Mac was very unhappy with Intuit&#8217;s Mac offerings.  I briefly used iBank but was pretty unhappy with the limited feature set.  The reporting and graphing was very basic, and there was not automated integration with banks and brokerage firms.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>ESPN360 coming to Comcast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had blogged a few months back about how I got a survey from ESPN about ESPN360, their online video presence.  I checked on their web site a few weeks ago and saw that they have reached an agreement to offer ESPN-U and ESPN360 to Comcast customers.  Apparently this is old news, but I&#8217;m pretty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some interesting theology coming from Barna&#8230; but not really</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got this email today, and thought it was pretty funny.  I hadn&#8217;t yet read the actual article, and it turns out in context it&#8217;s not quite as funny, but this cracked me up a bit.
