		<title>Is NBC&#8217;s Olympic coverage biased toward Americans? Uh, yeah.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like everyone else, I&#8217;ve been watching the Olympics in the evening. It&#8217;s an amazing event and I look  forward to it every four years. But this year, more than ever, I can&#8217;t stand the single-minded focus of NBC&#8217;s  producers: American or (almost) nothing. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m proud of the American  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Which body parts are most important for fighting?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What are the most important body parts for fighting? (More specifically, for martial arts in general). Easy, right? Let me guess your answers: fists and feet. Why? So you can punch and kick. If that was your guess, you&#8217;re not entirely wrong. But they&#8217;re certainly not the most important, I&#8217;ve learned.
Disclaimer: I&#8217;m certainly not in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mini Review: The Ruins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was The Ruins  alright&#8230; specifically, it ruined my dinner, which I almost lost while watching  this one. Not scary, but gory and gross (remember Kathy Bates bashing James  Caan&#8217;s legs in Misery? The Ruins has a scene that puts that to  shame).
In the &#8220;pro&#8221; column  is an excellent concept: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your dog doesn&#8217;t need shoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Of course they don&#8217;t!&#8221; I hear (sane, normal) people thunder when they read this post&#8217;s title. &#8220;I agree!&#8221; I scream back. That&#8217;s how passionate I am about dog clothing. We&#8217;ve all seen the dreaded dog sweater, which is horrible (note how most of the dogs are chihuahuas or other miniscule purse-living dogs). Yet, in some [...]]]></description>

		<title>PPC Holy Grail: Direct-placement ads?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[PPC, or &#8220;Pay Per Click&#8221; advertising is huge these days, and rightly so. Everyone searches when using the internet, whether it be Google or Yahoo or Microsoft&#8217;s Live Search. This integral feature of the Internet is provided free of charge because these companies get ad revenue from the simple text-based ads that appear along the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why no flags, OWA?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off: OWA is Outlook Web Access, the web-based version of Microsoft&#8217;s e-mail, calendar, and contact manager. Typically you use it when you&#8217;re away from your work computer but need to check your work e-mail (to learn the latest office gossip or which benefit the company is cutting next; that sort of thing). Today, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s not a stick, it&#8217;s a jō</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Saturday evening was spent sweltering in the 88-degree heat of the NW Martial Arts dojo. What possessed me to do such a thing? The jō. Not this Joe, or this Joe, or even this Jo(lene): this jō. The dojo held a seminar on it.
The jō, or short staff, is a great weapon. It&#8217;s certainly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where are they now: &#8220;I like turtles&#8221; kid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been on the Interwebs at all in the last year or so, you&#8217;ve probably come across a link to the YouTube phenom known either as the &#8220;I like turtles kid&#8221; or &#8220;Zombie-faced kid.&#8221; If you haven&#8217;t, that&#8217;s odd, but here you go: Zombie Kid Likes Turtles. It&#8217;s been viewed over 5 million times [...]]]></description>

		<title>Use WordPress for everything</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This may be a weird post but I simply couldn&#8217;t go on without singing WordPress&#8217;s praises. I use the open-source publishing platform for this blog, so if you have no idea what WP is, at least you know you&#8217;ve been seeing it.
Until a few days ago, I had been running version 2.1.2 of the software; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thank you Netflix!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just got word that Netflix is rescinding their decision to eliminate account profiles. I flipped out about this just recently: I posted a blog entry, wrote them a professional—though annoyed—e-mail, and read a number of tweets by my fellow peeved Netflix users. Someone even created an online petition to keep the useful feature.
As an aside: [...]]]></description>
