		<title>Birthday Gifts!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was my Birthday on the weekend. I took the opportunity to have some friends out to my Parents house for some swimming and BBQ.

		<title>AVG 9.0 Free Sucks for Gamers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using AVG free for amost 5 years now.  It really couldn&#8217;t be beat for free antivirus software and link scanner.  The software is compact, takes up little footprint, and really does a fine job of protecting your PC.

		<title>Twitter&#8217;s Propensity for One Liners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently begun using twitter on a more consistent basis.  I sometimes find it difficult to attract new followers that aren&#8217;t spam bots trying to sell me porn. I recently started trying to understand what I need to do to get new followers.  I find that most of the people I follow own some company or service [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Activity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some reason I&#8217;ve become engaged once again in the social media tools the internet provides.  This very post represents the first since early February here at Tarandon.ca.

		<description><![CDATA[Some people have it, some people don&#8217;t.  I don&#8217;t know what differentiates the two.   But I do know what&#8217;s missing in my life that prevents that capacity from being realised. I lack a basic sense of inspiration. I get frustrated with the obstacles far to easily. I get really frustrated with the fake it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bumptop Beta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got invited to the Bumptop Beta last week and I have to say my initial impressions weren&#8217;t the greatest. When I first heard of this concept by Anand Agarawala, I was really excited at the potential of this new desktop environment.  He was even invited to TED to display his thesis project to the [...]]]></description>
