		<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>Book Review: More Information Than You Require</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up a copy of John Hodgman&#8217;s &#8220;More Infromation Than You Require&#8221; a few months back when I saw that a signed 1st edition was available from Powell&#8217;s (only one left at the time of writing!).
I have always enjoyed John&#8217;s appearances on &#8220;The Daily Show&#8221;, and as PC in the Apple commercials.  After reading [...]]]></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.

		<title>OmniFocus syncing with Apache 2.2 WebDAV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my quest to get back on the GTD wagon, I decided to spring for a copy of OmniFocus for both the Mac and the iPhone.   One neat feature is the ability of the app to use WebDAV to store the database on a web server and then sync between the two versions remotely.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ads you can&#8217;t escape</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received a new credit card and ATM card in the last few weeks as my old ones had expired.  In the past, when I needed to activate them I was able to just do this via an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system in about 15 seconds.  Done and done!  This time, for the credit [...]]]></description>
