		<title>Movie Review: The Hurt Locker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After reading some extremely favorable reviews of The Hurt Locker in some trusted website sources, I was anxious to see it. Numerous sites rated it the best movie of the year. However, despite making an appearance at my local cinema (shocking given it&#8217;s limited release status), it dissapeared quickly. To my elation, I found it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movie Review &#8211; District 9</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I watched District 9 with my wife. I found it to be excellent, in more ways that one. However, it seems a tad unfair that I am less driven to verbosity by greatness than by failure, so I will limit my remarks to just a few comments.
I thought the execution of the storyline [...]]]></description>

		<title>Programming Joke &#8211; Jesus Saves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest with God as the judge. They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Cold Complicates Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#8217;s winter in Indiana, and cold is to be expected. Cold and snow. It happens every year. No one should be surprised. But, one thing that you learn growing up in this environment is that the cold makes ordinary things very difficult. 
Example number one: my furnace went out on Wednesday, around noon. I didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Big Snow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The South Bend area has received somewhere between 6-9 inches of snow in the last 2 days. I typically allow these sorts of situations to pass, but today I unwillingly trudged out to the driveway to shovel out a path for our vehicles. After nearly 1.5 hours of shoveling, I grew extremely agitated with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Year&#8217;s Resolutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, everyone typically has resolutions sometime around the beginning of a new year. As a sidenote, I find it interesting that in our continually more insulated society, we still find newness at the turn of the year. Sure, it marks some changes that are evident in everyday life. Writing 2009 instead of 2008 on your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blackberry Storm after 3 Weeks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I (most generously) received a Blackberry Storm through a work plan just before Christmas. For those of you who haven&#8217;t seen the pervasive TV ads and CDMA hype, the Blackberry Storm is the first touch-screen Blackberry. What&#8217;s different about it is the haptic feedback built inherently into the device. The screen clicks as you interact [...]]]></description>

		<title>Never Underestimate Stupidity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, I hate to go off in a uncontrolled rant about certain aspects of my job without first prefacing my comments with a bit of clarity. I love my job, and especially love my ability to sometimes take a step back and look at the big future. Our clients don&#8217;t comprise a massive data set, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family Roots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Internet is really changing everything. People are coming together and information is spreading so rapidly, sometimes it is truly unbelievable. Runyons from all over facebook are contacting me and inviting to join groups of them. 
This summer, I was unable to go with my dad&#8217;s side of the family to a reunion in West Virginia. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movie Review &#8211; Nick and Norah&#8217;s Infinite Playlist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, Leah and I went to the dollar theater to see Nick and Norah&#8217;s Infinite Playlist. Given the highly comedic nature of the other works that I have seen the headlining actors in previous to this, I was somewhat excited about yet another great movie full of snarky dialogue and faux angst (a la [...]]]></description>
