		<description><![CDATA[Marcus Ranum has suggested that it might be a good idea (if difficult) to make separate identities expensive. While acknowledging the importance of allowing anonymity, he argues that increasing the incremental cost could dramatically reduce on-line spams and scams.
This led me to reflect on the fact that I routinely use a truckload of e-mail addresses:

		<description><![CDATA[Cousin Jon sent me a link to David Pogue&#8217;s recent column on &#8220;Why We Make Home Videos.&#8221;
Pogue starts by complaining about how consumer video has gone through several recent media transitions, making it very hard to view older videos. He&#8217;s developed an almost industrial process for copying his Mini DV tapes to a hard drive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d prefer to work with only one company when doing a particular type of thing. It seems somewhat convenient that Turbotax and Quicken both belong to Intuit, and I do payroll through Intuit as well.
So, when it came time to do Form 1099 filing, I tried to do it through Intuit Payroll. Well, guess what: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Things seem to be moving forward on much of the proposed Hastings river bridge. The pic below is an artist&#8217;s rendering of downtown near the replacement bridge. This shows the &#8216;arch&#8217; alternative &#8211; they still haven&#8217;t decided if it will be an arch or &#8216;cable&#8217; design.

Two additional riverfront projects emerged while planning this bridge: 1) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joan Walsh of Salon made an apt observation today, when commenting on Rush Limbaugh, who is currently hospitalized. She thinks it&#8217;s impolitic to hit Rush on this, even though he&#8217;s never shied away from hitting others when (literally) down:
&#8220;There&#8217;s no liberal Rush Limbaugh, because most liberals don&#8217;t have a taste for cruelty as entertainment or [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s a four year old Australian Shepherd whose owners moved into too-small of an apartment. It must have been awful to give him up, because Jack is a terrific dog. He can catch a tennis ball in the air, and he knows &#8220;cookie on the nose,&#8221; though he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using the Canon Rebel XSi for about a year and a half now, and it&#8217;s definitely THE camera for aging yuppies. I need reading glasses, and that makes many cameras hard to use.

The Rebel Xsi is a classic single lens reflex &#8211; SLR. The viewfinder shows you what the lens sees. It has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Real Winter has arrived at our home today. The Weather Service calls it &#8216;blizzard conditions&#8217; so I skipped the rush-hour trip to a volunteer breakfast in St. Paul.
There is an honest-to-gosh snow drift in the driveway. Next door, I hear Mark running his snowblower. No doubt that&#8217;s my exercise for today.
