		<description><![CDATA[I finally took the Droid plunge, which set me back a whopping $19.99 for a two-year contract. Today alone it paid for itself when I found a coffee maker I liked at Target, scanned the bar code, and zapped it to Amazon, who offers it for $30 less. So definitely money well spent, at an [...]]]></description>

I had VOIP with Packet8 and SunRocket in Cali, then had no choice but to revert to POTS in Virginia since neither cable nor DSL was available in the Land of Gooches at the time. I didn&#8217;t bother going back to VOIP upon moving to NC, as I got a pretty good [...]]]></description>

Recently I purchased a bookshelf (Expedit) and learned this lesson the hard way. For future reference, this: means &#8220;on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday&#8217;s Wall Street Journal has an interesting article on title insurance, which some regard as a bit of a scam &#8211; enough so that one state, Iowa, prohibits it outright. OK, so maybe prohibit is the wrong word. Let&#8217;s just say they prohibit title insurance like most states that have lotteries prohibit gambling. Or given [...]]]></description>

What is it about gun owners that cause them to accept and even vigorously defend a craptastically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last fall I bitched about Wal-Mart&#8217;s policy of refusing to accept returns on firearm or ammo purchase, even when they were the ones who screwed up, and the customer&#8217;s sole error was in trusting a Wal-Mart employee to know WTF he is doing. The official policy is that you can&#8217;t return ammo. Apparently, that&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>
