		<title>Library of Congress Flickr Feed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s something awesome I just came across. The Library of Congress has a Flickr feed where they publish a stream of photos from their archive. It&#8217;s well worth checking out. I added them as a contact so that I can see their newest additions on my Flickr home page. Fascinating stuff!

		<title>Further Musings on Mechanical Watches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a reprint of a post I made at the National Association of  Watch and Clock Collectors forum on the reasons why I wear an expensive mechanical watch and not a more accurate $10 quartz:
_____
To me the appeal of a fine wrist or pocket watch is the fact that it&#8217;s a crafted mechanism. A [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Great, Great Grandfather&#8217;s Pocket Watch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago my father gave me a pocket watch that&#8217;s been in my family for five generations. It didn&#8217;t work, and I didn&#8217;t know anyone who could fix it, so it sat in my drawer for a very long time. Then, recently my brother found a watch repairman who was interested in servicing it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Portland Neon: Show Me Your Favorites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At long last I&#8217;m finally ramping up on a photography project I&#8217;ve had in the works for a few years now. The idea is to build up a catalogue of  the best neon signs in and around the Portland area with the ultimate goal of publishing a brief book on the subject. About three years ago, before I switched [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Top Albums of 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe I didn&#8217;t get exposed to enough great stuff this year, but it seemed like &#8216;08 was pretty devoid of obviously classic material. It seemed pretty dull top to bottom. That said, here&#8217;s the albums I thought stood out, in alphabetical order.

Black Mountain &#8211; In the Future
These guys fall into the Stoner Rock category. Though [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whither Dean??</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, why is Obama snubbing Howard Dean? 
I was a Dean supporter when he ran for president. He&#8217;s an amazing individual who would have made a great chief executive&#8230; if the &#8220;liberal media&#8221; hadn&#8217;t skewered him over &#8220;the scream.&#8221; But Dean didn&#8217;t fade into the background after that incident. He went on to develop the strategy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Updates coming&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I&#8217;m clear of a number of projects it&#8217;s time to finally ramp this blog up. I&#8217;ll be reskining it with a better interface soon and announcing it to my friends and family. The side bar content was just updated and some weird flukes fixed (Twitter and Flickr widgets weren&#8217;t updating, but are now). [...]]]></description>

		<title>Senate.gov overloaded?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just when I have something to say to my Senator, the entire family of Senate Websites seems to be down. Could it be that their feeble servers are overloaded by people trying to give feedback on the financial meltdown? Seems pretty likely.
For what it&#8217;s worth, here&#8217;s the email I was trying to send:
Dear Senator Wyden:
