		<title>My first real Drupal project, part I: sending HTTP request for every page</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note: I know that pretty much no one who reads my blog is interested in Drupal stuff.  However, when I was working on this project, I got a ton of help from personal blog posts about how someone solved some problem, so I’m going to do the same.  Maybe some day this post will be useful to someone else. The project: One of my jobs works with Drupal, and recently I’ve been working on implementing my first really big project, which involves writing a custom module and really delving into the theming layer, which I knew almost nothing about when&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>No running for me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was really excited to run the Run Like Hell half-marathon in Bend this October. But I have injured my back &#8211; not a terrible injury, but bad enough to keep me from running for at least a little while. By the time it gets better, there will almost certainly not be time to get up to half-marathon shape. This was a huge disappointment for me, but better to rest and heal than make it worse and take even longer to heal.  I&#8217;ll have to find a half-marathon to run in December or January instead.]]></description>

		<title>From iPhone to Android</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had an iPhone 3G for about a year, and recently I made up my mind to get a Samsung Galaxy running Android instead of upgrading to the iPhone 4.  I&#8217;ve had my phone for a little over a week now, and here are my initial thoughts.  First though, a couple of disclaimers: I&#8217;m not a smartphone power user: I use it for e-mail, web browsing, Twitter and games mostly.  I am thinking of trying to develop for either or both platforms, but I don&#8217;t currently. I never updated my iPhone to iOS 4, so my comparisons are all on&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Camping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[C and I just spent slightly over a week camping up the Oregon coast, and we&#8217;ve been back from almost a week.  Not hardcore camping &#8211; we spent a couple of nights at hotels and did some good (and some bad) campgrounds. We drove down to Crescent City, CA after I got off of work last Thursday the 15th, and made our way up to Astoria on Friday the 23rd.  Here&#8217;s a few thoughts on the trip: Mill Creek campground in the Redwoods is a gem of a campground.  Private sites, not too busy, on a nice little creek &#8211;&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>iPhone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[C just got his new iPhone yesterday, and it&#8217;s very pretty. I originally signed up to be on the list to get one, too. However, the first thing that happened was that I waited a couple of weeks got the e-mail saying it was in, but after ~40 minutes in the Apple Store it turns out that the employee who put me on the list put me down for an iPhone 3Gs, not 4, so I ended up on the back of the list. Now I keep hearing negative stuff about the iPhone. Plus a new Android phone is coming&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Random Futurama quotes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have been back to watching Futurama every night as we go to sleep, after briefly switching to The Simpsons.  Using a very conservative estimate, we have watched each and every one of the original 72 episodes approximately 15 times.  20 isn&#8217;t an unreasonable estimate, or 30 for C (since he takes a while to go to sleep and thus watches more episodes per night than I do.) For no real reason, I decided to share two of my favorite quotes that have stuck out to me recently: From &#8220;Fry and the Slurm Factory&#8221;, episode 13 of season 1, a&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Health insurance: now it&#8217;s personal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard the news stories on NPR about how ridiculous the private health care system is when it comes to insurance and billings.  I&#8217;ve heard about how much time and money is spent just on getting billing figured out &#8211; teams of people at the doctors&#8217; offices figuring out different billing codes to different insurances; more teams at the insurance companies to figure out different bills from different providers. It never really meant a lot to me personally, because I&#8217;d been on Kaiser Permanente all my life &#8211; a private HMO.  I was born at a Kaiser hospital, and was&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Graduation thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I turned my last assignment and had my last final yesterday.  Overall, I&#8217;d say my finals went better than I thought they would. With the academic year over, graduation stuff is everywhere.  (Congratulations to Candice, who just finished her masters, and my brother, who graduated from PCC in Architectural Drafting!)  So I thought I&#8217;d look into what sort of commencement options there will be for me when I graduate in December.  As it turns out, not many.  If I want to walk, I would have to do it either this August or next June.  I don&#8217;t really want to walk&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Home stretch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got a week left until I&#8217;m done with finals for this term.  It&#8217;s going to be really tough &#8211; I expect all of the finals to be very challenging, plus I have a project due on next Thursday as well.  I always have a really hard time motivating myself to study for finals &#8211; there&#8217;s no concrete deliverable I have to complete, I just have to &#8220;know the material&#8221;, so it&#8217;s easy to just put it off. After finals I&#8217;m going to take a couple of days off, and then this summer I&#8217;ll be working both of my current&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Impulse race</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A week ago I saw a listing for the Tualatin River Trail 10 Mile run.  I&#8217;d been feeling like I haven&#8217;t been running enough lately (I barely get up early enough to get in 3 miles before work in the morning and didn&#8217;t do a long run last weekend.)  The race sounded pretty and, more importantly, it&#8217;s limited to 250 people.  I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever run in  a race of less than 1,000 people, so I was curious. It was a lot of fun.  Since I haven&#8217;t been running a lot, I wasn&#8217;t sure if I&#8217;d need to walk&#8230;]]></description>
