		<description><![CDATA[Through many years and many computer systems, I&#8217;ve always been the sort of person who likes to tweak and customize my setup. I&#8217;m not happy just to make do with the programs that come preinstalled or shipped in shrinkwrap. I acknowledge a point of diminishing returns in this sort of thing, of course; I&#8217;ve never [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been quite a few weeks since my last post. That&#8217;s because during most of that span, whenever I&#8217;ve had time to sit down with my laptop, it&#8217;s been to work on restoring things from the catastrophic hard drive failure I suffered just before Christmas. I&#8217;m happy to say that as of now, I&#8217;ve finally [...]]]></description>

Nevertheless, I admit to living dangerously where the safety [...]]]></description>

But I can see the logic of doing it after the main television viewing season was over&#8230; and as it happens, [...]]]></description>

Going in to 2008, one could hardly open a magazine or flip a channel without hitting a media comparison to 1968. It was 40 years ago (a nice, round number), and it was a paradigm-shifting political year that looked familiar, with an open [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Collapsing industries are hardly an unusual thing this year. Real estate, banking, airlines, automobiles, music and more are all in dire straits.

What, you thought I was kidding?&#8230;
What&#8217;s frustrating is this:  my girlfriend and I have a system we&#8217;re perfectly happy with. Nothing terribly high-end, but carefully researched and assembled. DVD players and recorder and a nice surround-sound setup. In particular, [...]]]></description>
