		<title>Some Find the Virgin Mary, I Found the Devil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A burning candle captured my attention the other night. It was a great opportunity to take some pictures with very slow shutter speeds, and I quite enjoyed the results.


Near the end of my time taking pictures, I did find a unusual pattern in the candle. Smaller than a dime, this spot of wax on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Good Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been too long since I posted pictures of Bruce. I&#8217;ve got some good ones, especially since he&#8217;s the most readily available subject when I want to get the camera out.
Here&#8217;s a shot that pretty much sums up his life.

He never misses an opportunity to take advantage of the brief time when the sun comes [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Drinking Problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the first time in my life, alcohol has caused me personal problems. I never thought it would, but only now do I see the error of my ways.
My wife had made a wonderful meal and suggested I take a couple of pictures of the food. (She likes to include pictures in her cookbook.)
A glass [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oooh, pretty flowers!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amy and I went to San Antonio recently and one morning I got out the camera and started focusing on my mother-in-law&#8217;s flower beds (full gallery here).
One of the more successful techniques I discovered was taking pictures &#8220;through&#8221; another flower. I&#8217;d get the camera lens very close to say an orange flower and take pictures [...]]]></description>

		<title>White Paint in the Bathroom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I figure one way to become a better photographer is to force myself to find pictures even when nothing seems worth photographing. The person who painted our house did a horrible job. I noticed this small imperfection in the bathroom when the afternoon sun came in an casted a shadow.

(For this particular picture, a dark [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taskbar Overlord Hilarity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since Taskbar Overlord, the small program I wrote to improve the Windows 7 taskbar has been linked to by LifeHacker, I&#8217;ve seen quite a bit of traffic to download the program.
A number of websites and forums on the internets have linked to the Taskbar Overlord post, and while some links are legitimate, many websites use [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Old Rusting Refrigerator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An old rusting refrigerator in the backyard of a neighbor produced many good photographic opportunities recently. Everywhere I looked, different shapes, colors, and textures appeared.

		<title>The Best Piece of Crap I Ever Bought</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ll have to forgive me if you think the title crass. However, it&#8217;s appropriate. I&#8217;ve recently became the proud owner of Canon&#8217;s 50mm Mark II lens. Except for the glass, everything is made of plastic and feels like it might fall apart at any moment.
So why on earth buy such a thing? For one thing, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taskbar Overlord</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using the Windows 7 release candidate (still available from Microsoft) as my main and only operating system on both a desktop and laptop for the last month. I like it a lot.
One of the biggest differences is the new taskbar, where you can pin the programs you use most for easy access. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>eBird Express Goes &#8220;Live&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[eBird itself has now published a lengthy writeup on eBird Express, with a number of kind words directed my way.
Over the last few months, I&#8217;ve had a number of conversations with the good folks at eBird about eBird Express and how it should work. I want to give a big thank you to them as [...]]]></description>
