		<title>physi-cally fit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Biking 10 miles to work is almost fun. After all, it&#8217;s downhill nearly the whole way. Riding that same 10 miles home is not as fun, because it&#8217;s nearly uphill the entire way. But it keeps me in modest shape as it&#8217;s a challenging ride. But for the last 4 rides home, I&#8217;ve had a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Math Nerds, rejoice!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ben Ruetz, Michael Surls, et al.
Been considering dropping $250 to pick up an old HP-15C on eBay? Consider it no more! HP just released iPhone versions of several classic calculators. Now you just buy an iPhone or iPod Touch, and the HP-15 app at the App Store.

		<title>Summer in Seattle.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Average temperatures in the 60s. Thirty straight days of sunshine (fantastic climbing weather). Completion of my &#8216;required&#8217; climbs. Weather that begs and screams, &#8220;Go Play Outdoors, NOW!&#8221; 
Fresh local produce, especially strawberries and bing cherries. (California strawberries don&#8217;t cut it). Berry bushes everywhere, laden with fruit. Halibut and salmon, fresh from the docks. It&#8217;s so [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Myth of Prevention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Doctor&#8217;s View of Obama&#8217;s Healthcare Plan.
In short, he agrees our healthcare system is broken. Obama&#8217;s plan is a step in the right direction, it isn&#8217;t enough to fix the problem. I&#8217;m sure glad fixing health care is not my problem to solve. In addition to two wars and a financial meltdown.

		<title>health care envy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an email that floats around a couple times a year. It details how wonderful the government health care plan is that our elected representatives get. The premise of the email is always the same: they should get the same crappy health care plans we do, so they&#8217;d have some incentive to fix them!
Now they&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<title>TV in the 21st century</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Projector technology finally became bright enough to use in daylit rooms (~2000 lumens) and dipped below $1k for HD models. I picked up a projector last year and then an AppleTV over the holidays. My entertainment center is now miniscule compared to times past.

Epson Powerlite 720P HD projector

HDMI 4 x 2 switch
Logitech Z-5500 [...]]]></description>

		<title>beat the heat, on the cheap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our house sits high on a ridge, facing West towards Puget Sound, and the setting sun. From mid-day through sunset, our kitchen, dining room, and living room are bathed in sunshine, rising as much as 20°. All the windows have wooden blinds, but they are dark colored. Instead of reflecting the heat, they absorb it [...]]]></description>
