		<title>Icon Health / HC Credit aka HELPCard aka HC Processing Center</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m having a terrible experience dealing with Nordictrack (Icon health and fitness) and it&#8217;s partner financing company HC Credit. Consider buying from someone else if you&#8217;re on the fence. Unfortunately, they have a setup that discourages efficiency and customer-friendliness, since they seem to recoup profits on their &#8220;interest-free&#8221; offers by charging crazy fees even without [...]]]></description>

		<title>Real Estate Crash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is not from the Onion. We live in our own microcosms and macroeconomic woes impact all of us very differently. Capitalism and abundance breed funny pockets of reality. But this makes me want to re-examine my own hierarchy of life priorities that filter down to discretionary spending.
The LA Times. “It used to be a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wonder why I ended up here?</title>

On a related note&#8230; Without the familiarity I have, &#8220;Grand Junction&#8221; sounds like the urban California city and &#8220;Mountain View&#8221; sounds like the small valley town next to the Rockies

		<title>Microsoft&#8217;s awkward love letter to Yahoo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After being spurned by their would-be lover Yahoo, Microsoft attempted to woo the coy bird. Unfortunately, Microsoft, though admittedly rich and powerful, struggles to set the romantic mood. Looking very much like their personification in the Mac switcher ads, Microsoft comes on a little too strong to be using words like &#8220;embrace&#8221; and &#8220;consummate&#8221;. Some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My good friend Tim Borland is running 63 marathons over 63 consecutive days. His wife Michelle and kids Kailey and Colton are performing the feat of living on the road for 2 months, in an RV along with Tim. And all of this for a great cause - to raise funds and awareness for a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m reading a book called Balancing Your Family, Faith &#038; Work by Pat Gelsinger. Pat is the Senior VP in charge of the biggest technology group at Intel, the Digital Enterprise Group. I wanted to record here some of the ideas that impacted me and why.

		<title>I hate Epson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as I love the print quality of my R800, I have to thoroughly withdraw any recommendation to buy one of these, or any Epson inket as far as I can tell, unless you print very often. As an occasional photo printer, you would be financially better off hiring a personal assistant to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Embedded Photojournalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some chilling imagery from a brave reporter for NBC, who is apparently embedded with an anti-squirrel squadron in Cuesta park. But to get this close, you have to wonder - is the reporter a squirrel sympathizer? Might the press actually be aiding the squirrels in their quest to dominate our media and disrupt our normal [...]]]></description>
