		<description><![CDATA[I had been looking forward to this movie for a while. Then the reviews started coming out, and they weren't all that positive. OK, I'll just lower my expectations and maybe I can still enjoy it. But no, it turns out it really isn't a very good movie.

Déjà vu. I wrote something very similar to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just looked back and found that it's been five years since I last did a year-end blog post. That's mainly because my life has shifted away from the things I set this site up for.

Shareware - People still occasionally send in payments for Icon Machine, which I appreciate. A few other projects have come [...]]]></description>

I've undertaken a new software project, intended to replace the Numbers spreadsheet Lisa and I have been using to track our expenses. I'm calling it "Means". Edit: It was later renamed [...]]]></description>

The thing about LEGO sets is that at first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(This post is a little belated… it's a little harder these days to find time for blogging.)

Compared to my last week-long trip - to Disney World - my trip to Italy involved about as much walking, and even more Pinocchio. It was also hotter. I don't recommend Italy in August.

This trip was a first for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spoiler alert, blah blah blah.

Lisa and I went through the first five Harry Potter films this past week to get ready for the big event. Not only did it get us in the mood, it also got us ready to compare.

I think Prisoner of Azkaban remains my favorite. In spite of the fact that it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I know, dead horse, but I'm a fan and I must rant.

So yes, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was bad. The first film way okay, and the second was bad. For me, the worst of it was the pervasive crude humor. Having read the reviews, I thought I had set my expectations low enough, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have heard and read many times the idea that same-sex marriage should be allowed because marriage is a civil right. The problem with this claim is that it very conveniently ignores the opposing argument, which is that the real issue is the definition of marriage. It makes no sense to discuss whether marriage is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The iTunes Store is now 100% "iTunes Plus", which is their higher-quality, no-copy-protection format. Supposedly you can upgrade past purchases to iTunes Plus, but this is not entirely true.

Just some quick statistics:

Purchased albums in my iTunes library: 33
Albums that the iTunes Store will let me upgrade to iTunes Plus: 13
Albums that I can't upgrade but [...]]]></description>
