		<description><![CDATA[My week-long honeymoon in Vail ended up being a pretty good test of how much of a computer I really need to get by.&#160; As it turns out, my year-old Toshiba T135-S1305 fits the bill admirably, and it cost me less than $500 new.
Besides my phone and Kindle, this laptop was all I brought to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My wife and I just finished watching The Inside Job, a documentary about the subprime derivative industry and its cataclysmic impact on global markets beginning a few years ago and still rippling through the world&#8217;s economy today.  Although most of it I had already read about in &#8220;The Big Short&#8221; and &#8220;All the Devils are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently took the plunge and purchased my first ever Apple device.  A long-time Windows user and general detractor of Apple and their expensive, controlled approach to computing, I couldn&#8217;t resist all those quality iOS apps any longer.  I bought (well, technically, my wife bought as a wedding present&#8230;thanks honey!) an iPad 2 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a Netflix subscriber now for over a year and have been consistently impressed with them.  I remember when they began their limited &#8220;Watch Instantly&#8221; feature, and then when they made it unlimited without charging a cent more for the service.  Then I remember getting a message saying my monthly subscription rate was being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a fan of the &#8220;webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math and language&#8221; known as xkcd, and one of the recurring &#8220;hero&#8221; characters in it is Cory Doctorow, author and founder of former magazine and current blog Boing Boing.  I was perusing some of the older xkcd comics, most of which I&#8217;d already seen, and came across one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love music.  I&#8217;m also pretty open to listening to different genres, with a few exceptions (those being nearly everything that makes it to a pop hits radio station).  My favorite type of music overall is definitely rock, but I also enjoy listening to metal, jazz, Latin, classical, big band and even a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here at Texas A&#38;M, the student organization responsible for bringing a bit of culture our way is MSC Opas. The few shows I&#8217;ve attended in the past have been most enjoyable. The Irish Tenors concert last November was particularly fantastic. Last night&#8217;s East Village Opera Company performance was no exception.
Since I procrastinated about finding someone [...]]]></description>
