		<title>Mac OS X Bluetooth A2DP Sound Quality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you bought a pair of bluetooth stereo headphones and paired them up to your Mac?

Have you noticed that they sound crappy and tinny?

There&#8217;s a reason!

Turns out that the default minimum quality in OS X is pretty low.  I guess the OS and the bluetooth device negotiate this, and if the device doesn&#8217;t provide [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amazon Kindle: The real review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a week before Christmas, I broke down and bought a kindle.  I had been using the iPhone kindle app for a couple of months, and had been teetering on the edge for a while.  Then the prices came down and it pushed me over.  I&#8217;ve now got a good 5 books [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPad observations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all know about the newest apple device by now, here are my impressions:

Big iPhone:
This was a really good decision on Apple&#8217;s part.  It would have been a major mistake to put the full version of Mac OS X on this machine.  It needs an OS that is rooted in the touch interface [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arizona 2010 State of the State address</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case you didn&#8217;t know, Arizona&#8217;s leadership is completely fucked.  Since the whitehouse drafted our previous governor, Jan Brewer has stepped in to try and navigate the mess that is Arizona politics.  And it hasn&#8217;t gone all that well.  Since taking office, she&#8217;s been consistently in opposition to both parties in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mini Review: Apple Magic Mouse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I got my Apple Magic Mouse, and here are my quick first impressions:


Design is beautiful as you would expect
Had to download the driver, and uninstall USB overdrive before I had access to all the mouse&#8217;s functions.
Scrolling from anywhere is awesome
Same &#8220;lift left finger for right click&#8221; mechanic.  Lame.  You think they&#8217;d be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow Leopard Font Smoothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do fonts look like crap on your shiny new copy of snow leopard?

That&#8217;s probably because Snow Leopard now relies on your monitor to tell your machine that it&#8217;s an LCD.  Unfortunately, many LCDs including both of my Dell displays don&#8217;t do this.  So you get no sub-pixel anti-aliasing.  Bad times.

But don&#8217;t fret. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drive Economics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of right now, I have a Drobo filled with 1TB drives that I&#8217;m pretty happy with.  After a couple of weeks of pain the new Drobo has settled down, and we&#8217;re peacefully co-existing.

But I&#8217;m running out of space.  With 4 1TB drives, you end up with about 2.7TB of usable space, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Kindle Mini-review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been very reluctant to buy a Kindle.  Not because I don&#8217;t think e-readers are a great technology.  They are.  I&#8217;ve been reluctant because when you use a Kindle, you&#8217;re entering a walled garden.  The books you &#8220;buy&#8221; don&#8217;t have the same benefits as a printed book.  You cannot loan [...]]]></description>

		<title>10.5.7 bugs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There have been lots of people running into lots of issues with 10.5.7.  Since I&#8217;ve run into a few myself I thought I would piss into the wind here and let the anonymous masses know my pain.

This one has been around at least since 10.5.4 but has [...]]]></description>
