		<title>You can see that from here!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During our flight home from Japan, my wife noticed something odd from the window. Some of the pictures she took show what looks to be a large ship. We were very surprised that we were able to see it so well.

More pictures and info below &#8230;

It was maybe an hour or two after taking off [...]]]></description>

		<title>Switching from KDE to WinXP #3 : Other Apps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oops
I just found this post in the drafts section and realized that even though I wrote it well over a year ago, I never posted it. Rather than leave it again, I am going to post it now and complete it with screenshots in the near future.
This post is a bit out of date because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Translation Party Insights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just learned about Translation Party from this article on BBspot, so I went over to try it out.
Translation Party is an interesting idea and pretty cool to play with. The idea is to translate an English sentence into Japanese, take the resulting Japanese sentence and translate it back into English, and repeat this until [...]]]></description>

		<title>Netbooks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dell is going to discontinue 12-inch netbooks. After reading about it here and there on the net, I think two different stories are getting mixed up here. First is the overly fluid definition of &#8220;netbook&#8221; and which ones consumers want. The second story is the impact of titans like Intel and Microsoft on the market [...]]]></description>

		<title>Too Many Choices?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MS Windows advocates sometimes claim that &#8220;normal people&#8221; (1) don&#8217;t like having choices and that all the Linux distributions confuse people.
Just a quick question: have any of the people who argue this ever seen or been in an American supermarket? Have you seen the cereal aisle? The toothpaste section? Seriously, my wife is from Japan [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Second Amendment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is the purpose of the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution? Not self-defense from muggers, rapists, or even murderers. The 2nd amendment exists to allow citizens to protect themselves from their government. Citizens have a responsibility to resist tyranny and oppression and they must have the ability to do so.
This is probably a good [...]]]></description>

		<title>QtConfig &amp; Skype</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quick note: PCLinuxOS and tiny fonts in Skype. You may already know that you have to use qtconfig to set the font size for QT apps, including Skype. But the problem is that with the current PCLinuxOS, there are actually 2 qtconfig apps &#8212; one for QT3 and one for QT4. The one you want [...]]]></description>

		<title>PCLinuxOS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I switched from Gentoo to Kubuntu a month or two ago and while it was generally OK, there were several things I didn&#8217;t like about Kubuntu. I was a hardcore Gentoo user for many years and a KDE user even longer, so there are some features I just have to have. Like all of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Teacher&#8217;s Tax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Who, outside of your immediate family, has had the biggest influence on your success in life? It is probably your teachers and coaches.
Peers, of course, also have a huge influence on young people, but not in an organized or necessarily positive way. Good teachers work hard to positively influence their students while equipping them with [...]]]></description>

		<title>A fair review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow. Linux is really moving up in the world. I just read a fair review of a Linux distro in the mainstream press.
Think on that for a moment. A fair review. Not a FUD-fest. Where lots of non-techie people are going to read it.
This is very good. I believe most Linux distros are fully capable [...]]]></description>
