		<title>Wow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so I guess it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve posted here, huh? Every time I&#8217;ve thought about it, I&#8217;ve been daunted by all the things that have happened that I&#8217;d need to catch you all up on. Tonight, I&#8217;m refusing to be daunted. Things happened, I failed to blog about them, so be it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hot air balloon ride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last week, Becky and I got to go on a hot air balloon ride from Woodinville. It was amazing. We really lucked out with great weather that day; it had been raining a couple of days prior, and most of the days since have been at least cloudy and cool.
Here are some of my favorite [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s about time&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Many of you have heard at least something about the struggle we&#8217;ve had getting our master bathroom remodeled. I won&#8217;t recount the whole saga here, but suffice it to say it&#8217;s been stressful. It is now, at last, done. (Well, 99.9% done &#8212; there are a couple of small things to finish up). I wouldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m famouser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I was famous when the back of my head was on CMT. But now that the CMA Closeup has aired on GAC, I&#8217;m even famouser! You can actually see my face (and Becky&#8217;s too). Several times, in fact.

I&#8217;ve yet to receive a paycheck&#8230;

		<title>iPhone stock looking better</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things are looking better for finding iPhones, but they&#8217;re still not universally available, and there are still lines. Availability was very low over the weekend, but overall it&#8217;s been trending upward.
Chris Barnes put together a tool that surfaces this data in real time. Good stuff. I actually have an interface that does the same thing, [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on iPhone 3G availability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally was able to get my hands on an iPhone 3G (black 16GB, at Bellevue Square). But I&#8217;ve continued to be kind of fascinated by the whole issue of availability. Finding an iPhone is still not easy in many parts of the country! I&#8217;ve been gathering some data from Apple&#8217;s availabilty checker (which I [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone 3G availability misinformation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know that nifty &#8220;Check iPhone Availability&#8221; page on Apple&#8217;s website? The one that&#8217;s supposed to help you avoid a trip to an Apple Store that has no iPhones? Yeah, it doesn&#8217;t work. At all. It claimed that the Bellevue store had all models in stock today. But when I arrived this morning before they [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m famous</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, famous might be a bit of an exaggeration. But I&#8217;m on national (err, cable) TV. Well, the back of my head is, at least. For maybe five seconds.

See me? I promise, that&#8217;s really me! This is from CMT Insider&#8217;s coverage of the Miranda Lambert fan club party.
If you want my autograph, email me, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMA Fest 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I dreamed of going to Nashville, we went, and now we&#8217;re back. We spent a week in Nashville going to CMA Fest, hanging out with some very cool people and seeing the Tennessee sights.
We started the trip out with a visit to the Grand Ole Opry. We didn&#8217;t even go to the hotel first &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<title>TIBTIL: Mastercool Infrared Thermometer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, this technically isn&#8217;t something I bought that I love &#8212; it was a gift. But it&#8217;s a very cool gadget, and I do love it. It&#8217;s a Mastercool 52224-A Infrared Thermometer. It looks like a little gun. You just point it at something and it instantly tells you the temperature. Cool! (Or &#8220;hot!&#8221; as [...]]]></description>
