I feel a paw hook into the collar of my shirt and pull.  I turn to look at Charlie, who has reached out to get my attention.  He leans over and touches his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zen and the Art of Geekiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A conversation had earlier on IRC:

E: There are many questions to which I know the answers&#8230;
E: That is not one of them.
G: snicker
G: How Zen of you.
E: I&#8217;m practicing for a future career in fortune cookie writing.  You know, in case this whole software thing doesn&#8217;t work out.

		<title>Nibbles and Bits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mosquitoes are evil.

The ingredients are the box, 2 cups water, a can of diced tomatoes, and pre-cooked chicken or shrimp.  Super simple to make too; throw everything in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Healthy Paranoia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friday night I went to a party at a friend&#8217;s house.  A bit into the party, we discovered we needed more drinks, so another woman and I volunteered to run to the grocery store and pick up some things.  We went to the nearest Farm Fresh.  When we arrived, there were two [...]]]></description>
