		<title>Simple Stupid Gas Range Upgrade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

If you are lucky enough to have a gas range, you already know the joys of a dead even heat source that can range from medium-low to blowtorch.  None of that cyclic all-on/all-off nonsense of the typical electric range, for example.
However, &#8220;low heat&#8221; is not something in the typical gas range&#8217;s vocabulary.  On [...]]]></description>

		<title>Make: Ceiling Mounted Drying Rack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 Our laundry / utility room isn&#8217;t large, but we consider it to be a gem given that most bay area homes seem to have their laundry in the garage!
Thus, space is a premium and that makes dealing with the handful of items that need to be air dried on a flat surface a challenge. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the release of Aperture 3, geotagging photos is now an integral part of the application&#8217;s workflow.  Aperture grew the Faces &#038; Places features like iPhotos!
In particular, the Places feature allows you to import GPS data from iPhone photos or from GPS data captured by pretty much any device that can spew a standard [...]]]></description>

		<title>Swingline Red Stapler Busted.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

My red stapler &#8212; like the one pictured at left &#8212; has broken due to the classic industrial design mistake of using a plastic part as the connector between two mechanical parts in a leverage or geared based mechanical system.
Swingline has a customer feedback form and, thus, I sent the below feedback.   We [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review: Celestron Digital Microscope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Human blood cells


Roger has always excelled in math and sciences &#8212; no surprise given lineage &#8212; and is of the age (9) where the science education is moving into bigger and smaller areas of study.
So far, he has gotten by with a QX-5 Digital Microscope

		<title>No, iTunes, I don&#8217;t want to listen to holiday music in February&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have a ton of Christmas music &#8212; 400 or so tracks, with it growing by about 50-75 tracks each year &#8212; that ranges across all genres.  It is some awesome stuff; blues, reggae, pop, traditional, you name it&#8230;
However, it is music that should only be in the rotation starting December 1st, heavy rotation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review: Breville Toaster Oven (of awesomeness)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I have long wanted a really good toaster oven.  One that had decent capacity, was versatile, and insulated such that it doesn&#8217;t lose a ton of heat when sticking food into it.  As well, I can&#8217;t deal with poorly designed products and will often choose dead simple over a full featured item simply [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deco Fan: DO NOT BUY! SHOCK HAZARD!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Ow ow ow ow.
Do not buy this fan.
It can shock you.
Specifically, the metal toggle switch&#8217;s handle is spring loaded such that if you push on it like a push button, it will short out internally.  Not only does it send a pretty spray of sparks out of the switch, it will also shock the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sony Hates Users; PS3&#8217;s &#8220;Restore Default Settings&#8221; Eats Your Data</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m the first to embrace that much of this was written in anger and, though I might now word it differently, I&#8217;m not going to because it captures the depth of frustration and crappy experience I endured (a first world problem, assuredly).
But, hey, let&#8217;s make the vitriol useful&#8211; if there were a means that I [...]]]></description>
