		<title>iPhone Strike&#8230; 8? 9? I&#8217;m losing count.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday afternoon, I got the call! My iPhone 3Gs was in! I promptly drove to Montpelier to get it. But this was just the beginning&#8230;
I arrived about 45 minutes later to a near-empty store, where an irate Unicel customer was complaining, loudly, about being unable to return her phone during the trial period because she [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Decided to Get an iPhone (or &#8220;I Am Funneling the Kool-Aid&#8221;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did it. Yesterday, I walked into an AT&#38;T store and plunked down the plastic for a 32G iPhone 3Gs. Once again, Steve&#8217;s Reality Distortion Field was in full effect, and my past hatred for Apple was but a distant memory as I happily test a unit at the store and accessed familiar websites with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Safari 4 (or &#8220;Way to Make a Great First Impression, Apple&#8221;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I started up Safari 4 on my Windows box. I won&#8217;t go into the controversy about Apple&#8217;s auto-update policies, or privacy concerns with it pre-caching sites you (have not yet) visit(ed), etc. I think the first page I got sums it up nicely.

		<title>Calorie Counting (or, &#8220;I Lied&#8221;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I decided not to count calories anymore, and to just track my weight unless I felt the need to &#8220;diet&#8221; again.
That resolution lasted about 6 hours. I decided after 4 straight days of weighing in at 170#, enough was enough, and I needed to be more careful again, so I never stopped tracking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stiffness (Or, &#8220;The Peter Nikolaidis Total Body Workout&#8221;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am, quite literally, sore and stiff from head to toe this morning. My recipe for this wonderful feeling is as follows:

Start by moving large quantities of trash and recycling to the landfill Saturday morning. This works those lifting muscles in the back that you don&#8217;t use all that much if most of your daily [...]]]></description>

		<title>Medifast: One Year Later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started the Medifast Diet one year ago. While I&#8217;m up a few pounds today (169#), I&#8217;ve managed to stay within 5 pounds of my goal weight of 165# for since October. I also decided that it&#8217;s safe for me to stop counting my calories every day, but I will continue to track my weight [...]]]></description>

		<title>My (Unsuccessful) Attempts to Get an iPhone 3Gs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I tried to get an iPhone 3Gs as soon as it was announced on Monday. I called my friend who owns a cellular phone store, and is an AT&#38;T reseller. In his words, &#8220;AT&#38;T would rather you buy it from Wal-Mart than me, so call me back and I&#8217;ll tell you how you can get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gogol Bordello: Lessons Learned in Caffeine, Punctuality and Randori</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Delayed blog post alert!
I saw Gogol Bordello, a gypsy punk band, perform in Burlington, VT on June 6. I learned a few things, and validated others which I already knew.
First, let be back up to that morning&#8217;s Aikido class, where lesson one of the day took place. Sensei told me, early during our first technique, [...]]]></description>
