		<title>Google Has a Funny View of Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you search for something on Google, at the upper right in the light blue bar there&#8217;s a note of the number of results Google found and how long it took them to process your search. Someone at Google apparently has a skewed sense of humor. Once I saw one of these, I had to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Navy? Really? Yep, the SeaBees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week I received an e-mail from a gentleman who said he was with the Center for Seabees and Facilities Engineering, and that they wanted to request our permission for the Department of the Navy to use one of our copyrighted articles. Specifically, he wanted to reprint the article Tom wrote for Tropical Boating on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lazy Photo Thieves? eBay Is Like A Marriage?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was browsing through the listings of Wusthof knives on eBay, and I ran across this little gem. (Yes, the seller was shouting in all caps, just like you see it.)
TODAY UP FOR AUCTION IS A BRAND NEW NEVER BEFORE USED 15 PIECE WUSTHOF BLACKWOOD IKON SET. ALL MY PHOTOS ARE 100% FROM MY SET [...]]]></description>

		<title>Craigslist: Leaving Money (Lots of it) on the Table!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day my husband and I were talking about the big internet players &#8212; eBay, Amazon, Google, et al &#8212; and the conversation drifted to Craigslist. We got to wondering, &#8220;How does Craigslist make money?&#8221; We knew that placing a classified ad on there was free; I sold a couple of computers through Craigslist [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Like the Matias USB 2.0 Keyboard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My new keyboard arrived, and I like it a lot. The keys have a nice tactile feel on keypress, and I&#8217;m not making nearly as many typos as I was on my last two keyboards. My fingers just &#8220;know&#8221; where the right keys are on this one.
This particular keyboard has one particular feature that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Protecting Your Data</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back up early and back up often!
For many years, I&#8217;ve been very good about backing up my computer. I learned that lesson back when I worked in a real office for a real company. Our graphic artist had been working on a very important Photoshop file for over a year. She wasn&#8217;t working on that [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Quest for the Perfect Keyboard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My favorite keyboard of all time was the original extended keyboard from Apple, back in the days before USB keyboards. I could type on that thing all day. Since the advent of USB keyboards, I&#8217;ve had more trouble finding a keyboard I&#8217;m comfortable with. Since I spend many hours every day working on my computer, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hello world!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my personal blog. I have a few other blogs and web sites, but I frequently find myself wanting to write about something that just doesn&#8217;t quite fit anywhere else. So&#8230;.. this blog is for everything that just doesn&#8217;t quite fit anywhere else. Like me. That&#8217;s why I live in a swamp.

		<title>How To Sue Somebody on Trumped Up Charges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Search engines are funny things. They sometimes return amusingly irrelevent results.
A couple of days ago, someone searched Google for:
how to sue somebody on trumped up charges
My business blog at tropicalwebworks.org turned up #4 in that search. The person actually clicked through to the page, even though it&#8217;s clearly not about suing somebody on trumped-up charges.

		<title>Even Swamp Critters Get to Vote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I voted. Had to hold my nose on some of my choices, but I did it.
Unbeknownst to me, my precinct moved since the last time I voted. I went to where I used to vote, but there was nothing there. Then I drove around aimlessly for a bit until I spotted the blue &#8220;Precinct 30&#8243; [...]]]></description>
