		<title>F U Sales Tax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sales tax has never been pleasant, especially in the Los Angeles area. Recently sales tax has been hiked up and it&#8217;s just ridiculous now. Here&#8217;s an overview: In 2008, the California state sales tax was 7.25%. The state allows counties and cities to add their own sales tax on top of that if needed. So [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Are Possums Such Jerks?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I get possums around the house time to time. I think maybe because I have an outdoor fish pond they are attracted to it. Fortunately for us, my dog is a hunting dog by nature and tends to chase and sometimes kill any small animal that intrudes. The unfortunate part is the possums are nocturnal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cut and paste on mac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Little things about Macs, bug the hell out of me. You can&#8217;t right click a file and cut, and then go to another location and paste it. They want you do copy, paste and delete the original; or open both source and target folders and click and drag; or do a crazy click and drag [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Quit DVDs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was an early adopter of the DVD format thanks to some promotional offers from now defunct online stores. I&#8217;ve always had an appreciation for movies and had owned a few VHS tapes during a time when most people just rented. I quickly ramped up my movie purchases with the DVD format and next thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nobu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night went to Nobu for early valentine&#8217;s dinner. It&#8217;s an upscale sushi fusion place in Malibu. My girlfriend has been there once before and wanted to go again. It&#8217;s easily the most expensive place I&#8217;ve gone to personally, but also the most delicious. We made the drive from the 10 freeway to PCH and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Denied</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imageworks got back to me and stated they had a hold put on hiring, but are keeping me for future consideration. Nuts to that. I had high hopes. That&#8217;s the economy for you. There are rumors there may be another wave of layoffs here too. So we&#8217;ll see what happens. Til then the hunt continues.]]></description>

		<title>Job Insecurity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working at Broadcom for over two years now as a contractor. They&#8217;ve kept me around with no sign of being converted to permanent employee in sight. With the recent economic downturn, even a contract renewal is doubtful. Last week there was a 3% layoff and I saw some of my friends (contractors) leave. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Almost Acoustic 08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night was the first time I attended a legitimate rock concert. I was at the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal for KROQ&#8217;s Almost Acoustic Christmas. It was a long show, but I enjoyed it. The line-up and comments as follow: Vampire Weekend &#8211; not too familiar with them except the one song I&#8217;ve heard, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let the Right One In</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw this movie yesterday. It&#8217;s a Swedish film based on a Swedish book about a boy and his interactions with another child that happens to be a vampire. It&#8217;s not your typical vampire movie. It&#8217;s incredibly sweet and at the same time dark and unsettling. It&#8217;s one of my favorite movies of this year. I [...]]]></description>
