		<description><![CDATA[This is something that&#8217;s been on my radar for a while: just because you&#8217;re an engineer or a programmer, you don&#8217;t have to buy into the stereotype by dressing the part. And you all know what I mean.
A recent post on one of the blogs I monitor suggested, &#8220;You have to admit, one of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A day after I roasted a chicken, I read this post from Michael Ruhlman about roasting chicken and the general perceived inability of people to cook. Needless to say, I felt pretty good about myself. Yesterday, I turned the remains of that chicken into soup despite Ruhlman&#8217;s toungue-in-cheek warning not to bother to try to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I posted anything, and there&#8217;s a good reason for it: Quantum mechanics. My last post was in a series of three (or more) covering the dissection of a He-Ne laser that is still sitting on my desk at work. That post covered the power supply which is relatively straightforward to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the second post in my dismantling-a-borderline-antique-Helium-Neon-laser series. In the first post, the project was introduced, and it was mentioned that every laser has three primary components: a power source, gain, and feedback. This post discusses the power source for this laser.
You can put energy into a laser system in many different ways, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I write this, I&#8217;m sitting in the offices of Hashrocket in Jacksonville, Fl, looking at the ocean and balancing a cappuccino on my laptop. It actually makes it difficult to type, but I digress. This post has nothing to do with Florida or the ocean or cappuccino; I&#8217;m just boasting.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading the book Imbibe! by David Wondrich who I first saw several months back on The Colbert Report. The idea behind the book is that it is a historical and very detailed guide to classic American mixology. The book includes anecdotes and recipes dating back to the mid-1800s or so, through the early [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Can I get your first name for the order?&#8221;
No. Give me a number. Every time someone asks for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went for a long bike ride today in Minneapolis. I did 35 miles in two hours fifteen minutes. Give or take. I forgot to reset my clock and odometer, but if memory serves, my last ride was about 12 miles in 48 minutes or so.
This was probably the longest bike ride I&#8217;ve ever taken [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw an interesting post in the Physics Today blog a few weeks ago. Not only was the research presented interesting and important, the post brought up a good point about using limits to better understand physical phenomena.
The researchers verified their model by making one of the parameters unrealistically large. The point being that if [...]]]></description>

The web was suspended in place between a yew shrub and two connection points on the frame of my front window. Overall, I&#8217;d say it spanned 1.5 to 2m from the shrub to the top of [...]]]></description>
