		<title>Stupid Corporate VPN Software</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Finally getting around to removing all the old crap I had on my Windows desktop from my previous place of employment. Upon removing the various VPN pieces, it would appear that it&#8217;s left my desktop computer unable to connect to any network. Whee. Gotta love those invasive pieces of corporate shit.

		<title>Long Time No Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My blogging is somewhat curtailed, recently: I&#8217;ve changed jobs (which I&#8217;ve resisted blogging about for the most part), moved to another state, and have lost a few loved ones in the past year. It&#8217;s been a lot of upheaval and stress. I&#8217;m hoping that 2007 is a little calmer, so that I can get back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Telephone Telepathy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Yay, more pseudo-scientific research about telephone telepathy.


&#34;Rupert Sheldrake, whose research is funded by the respected Trinity College, Cambridge, said on Tuesday he had conducted experiments that proved that such precognition existed for telephone calls and even e-mails.&#34;


I guess he&#8217;ll be entering James Randi Educational Foundation&#8217;s Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge any day now. Or not.

		<title>In Defense of Atheists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I just discovered this video on YouTube after visiting magician and skeptic James Randi&#8217;s site. It&#8217;s very cool.




I&#8217;m often reminded of my favorite quote about atheism by Stephen Roberts:


&#34;I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upgrading the Home Network, Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Well, after my last attempt at upgrading my network, I let everything just sit for a while, then went on a spending spree to upgrade all my networking equipment to products that supported WPA (Wireless Protected Access). I really needed to, anyhow, since I&#8217;m the neighborhood Alpha Geek. So I hooked up the D-Link DIR-625 [...]]]></description>

		<title>One of My Pet Peeves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I saw a link over at Boing Boing that points to this article at the Financial Times. It manages to grate on one of my pet peeves. In that article, the author asks:



&#34;Test yourself on the following questions. In each case, it is 1991 and I have removed from you all knowledge of the past [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Thoughts on Mac OS X: Leopard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Holy crap, another post about Apple Macs. I think I&#8217;m becoming a fanboy. Today, my thoughts on Leopard, the next iteration of the Mac OS, based upon Apple&#8217;s PR.


Time Machine
I can see the utility, but it isn&#8217;t something I&#8217;d use. I don&#8217;t tend to delete much, but when I do, it&#8217;s usually for a reason. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blogging via Textmate on the MacBook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I recently bought an Apple MacBook (non-Pro version, and no, I didn&#8217;t spring for the black) to use as a general work/fun/whatever laptop. Generally, I have an aversion to buying laptops that aren&#8217;t fully loaded, but I really wanted a nice, portable machine. The MacBook was the right machine at the right price.


Now, I do [...]]]></description>
