		<title>Another one bites the dust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just this year Y100 disappeared into the radio netherworld. Today 94 WYSP made that same journey, never to return.
I don&#8217;t normally listen to commercial radio these days except in the morning, but when I got in my car to go home for lunch, 93.3 WMMR was on and Pierre Robert was talking with two other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hacking WordPress comments onto the front page</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past week or so, I&#8217;ve been working on a new design for Two-Penny Words. Based on the kind of content that&#8217;s going on the site, I decided in the design stage to shy away from the generic blog concept and try to fashion more of a magazine style that encouraged reader participation. A [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stiff upper lip, Jeeves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looks like venerable search mascot Jeeves is getting the pink slip. AskJeeves has been going through some rough times lately, having been bought and sold a couple times, I think. At least once, anyway. In marketspeak, this latest development is what we call brand dilution.
Poor Jeeves. Henceforth, Ask Jeeves will now be referred to as [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Tims, they are a-changin&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple years ago I was cleaning the mountain of stuff piled on my desk at home when I happened to come across my old drivers licenses. At the time, there were only three licenses to consider, but now there&#8217;s a fourth.
All I can say is Wow.
Who is that fresh-faced stranger from 1994? I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>

		<title>More cooking experiments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve tried a few new things lately &#8212; including a lemon mousse/custard dessert &#8212; but I&#8217;ve found myself using one particular method quite frequently because a) it&#8217;s easy and b) the results have been very good. I&#8217;m talking about pouch cooking, which I learned by watching Good Eats episode The Pouch Principle.
The best thing about [...]]]></description>

		<title>On combating spyware and prevention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m getting pretty good at cleaning spyware off of WindowsXP systems. Not that I have to do it very often, thankfully, but it&#8217;s always a pain when it happens because the stock Windows tools available &#8212; regedit and task manager mostly &#8212; require a lot of manual work to effectively clean house.
I used to just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cooking Experiment #123456789</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found a recipe on the internet the other day for something this person was calling Crockpot Dal. [Ed. Surely Crackpot Dal by the time I'm finished with it...] I&#8217;ve been meaning to try my hand at some Indian cooking for awhile, and this looked suitably easy enough, so I decided to give it a [...]]]></description>
