		<title>New Grill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having recently moved into a new apartment, Ryan and I thought that we needed to get a grill to celebrate and enjoy the summer. Our old apartment was in the same building, but the balcony was closed due to construction. The new one has a functioning balcony with a beautiful view, so what better way [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Life for leozh.net</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This blog has been neglected for too long, so I have finally decided to update it regularly. I have moved from Drupal to WordPress, due to Drupal being more than I needed from blog software. I am aiming for a look that is clean and at the same time can bring together all of my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best Urban Bike?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ryan and I are moving to Chicago in August. One of the good things about this is that I won&#039;t have a 45 mile commute to work anymore. The University of Chicago is only about 7 miles from our future apartment. I was thinking about getting a bike for this commute, as it would be [...]]]></description>

The list was compiled by Anthony Bourdain and contains some great gems such as suggesting that someone should get a t-shirt saying "I am an asshole, please take my money." if they order a certain item [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone Unlock Video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I have found a video that has been posted of a walkthrough of the iPhone unlocking process. The author of the video then puts in a T-Mobile SIM card about 7 minutes into the video and the phone appears to be functioning with it.

		<title>Open source GUI iPhone unlock software available!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got an iPhone on June 29th, the day it came out, and one of the unfortunate things about it was that I was now an AT&#38;T customer. Today, iPhone users can now use any GSM provider they wish, due to the availability of the first Open Source iPhone GUI unlocking software. Engadget reports that [...]]]></description>

		<title>White Peaches @ Whole Foods Means Bellini Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This looks like something I have to try (from Drive Thru):
White Peaches @ Whole Foods Means Bellini Time:

White peaches from California are available at Whole Foods in Lakeview right now, which means true Bellini cocktails are just a blender spin away. The famous Italian aperitif starts with a glass of cold Prosecco (an inexpesive sparkling [...]]]></description>

		<title>Burn (almost) any video file to a DVD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lifehacker has a great article on how you can transcode just about any video file (divx, xvid, etc...) onto a DVD that will be playable on just about any standard DVD player. I have had many people ask me questions about how to do this and this article has a fairly detailed breakdown of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Megapixel Myth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The CEO of the photo sharing site SmugMug has written a great article about how camera manufacturers rip off consumers by promoting the deception that a camera with more megapixels equals an increase in image quality. There are many people that I know that simply don&#39;t understand that it&#39;s not how many megapixels that are [...]]]></description>

		<title>See The World In Counter-Strike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Artist Aram Bartholl has come up with an interesting set of glasses which give you a different perspective on reality... by letting you view it as if you were playing a game of Counter-Strike. The idea for these glasses is definitely simply, but yet unique. I wonder how many strange looks someone wearing these will [...]]]></description>

		<title>LeoNET Is Back!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As some of you may have noticed, my server has been down a lot lately. This is because the Dell Dimension XPS T550 that this site (and my IRC server) had been running on died, after 8 years of service. I suspect the processor started going, because gcc would have internal errors.
This week, I finally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linux LDAP Authentication</title>

One of the best solutions is LDAP.  LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol and it is basically a database of user [...]]]></description>

		<title>What if Klingons ran NPR? Hilarity is what.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you ever find yourself watching some fascinating program on PBS only to be interupted by their annoying anchors begging for money? Wouldn&#39;t it be so much better if Klingons ran PBS? Someone apparently thought so. Instead of getting some lame NPR handbag as a present for donating, you would get &#34;a cask of blood [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zooomr &#8211; Like Flickr but better</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just recently found Zooomr, a photo sharing website that is like Flickr, but it uses the Google Maps API so you can &#39;geotag&#39; your photos and search for photos taken in a specific area. Sadly New Jersey doesn&#39;t have a lot of great photos taken in it.

I just came across this wonderful panorama of Paris. You can see all of the major landmarks in the photo and it is simply stunning. This reminds me of being in Paris around this time last year, and there is no city quite like it in the world.

		<title>James Bond uses Macs!</title>

Apparently, they are the most economical and reliable option when it comes to video editing. Also interesting was how they scanned in each frame of every James Bond movie at 4000x3000 resolution, for possible future use with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Visit America&#039;s Only Tea Plantation</title>

This doesn&#39;t have much to do with technology but I am a big fan of tea so I&#39;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Look Inside NewEgg</title>

Now they are a retailing giant, but in my opinion, they stil offer the best service around.I was reading Slashdot today, and I saw this article, which is a tour of one of NewEgg&#39;s warehouses. It&#39;s amazing how [...]]]></description>

It is like digg, but it features not only tech stories, but all kinds of news. Another great thing [...]]]></description>

Suddenly, when I moved in, I had a full kitchen and everything at my command that I needed to make myself delicious meals, and what is more delicious than steak and mashed potatoes? I was reading the SomethingAwful forums [...]]]></description>
