		<title>Blogging is hard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here&#8217;s my first post of 2010, and my first post in about six months.  This site has existed in one way or another since June 2002, and it&#8217;s never really been updated consistently.  If you were to look back at previous incarnations of robmaeder.com, you&#8217;ll see a lot of &#8220;updates coming soon&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making the Move to Google Apps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up until a few months ago, I was running SquirrelMail on my own server to handle all of my email.  I have been using SquirrelMail since way back in 2004, and I always liked the simple interface.  Over time, the spam situation got worse and worse, and I got fed up trying to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome Wagon Comes for a Visit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was putting out my garbage at about 6:30pm when a lady showed up at my house carrying a large basket full of goodies.  She was from the Welcome Wagon, which is a company that offers a free &#8220;greeting service&#8221; to new residents in various communities.  
She gave me a bunch of [...]]]></description>

		<title>House Update: Three Months Later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been in my house for just over three months now, and I&#8217;m loving it.  I&#8217;ve learned a lot about being a homeowner, living alone, paying bills, dealing with neighbours, and I&#8217;ve also learned a lot about myself.  
For me, owning a home is a lot different than renting or living with [...]]]></description>

		<title>LASIK Update: Six Months Later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I had my six month checkup after having LASIK eye surgery done back in December.  Everything checked out very well, and I am very happy with the results.  My eyesight is slightly better than 20/20, and I am totally enjoying the freedom of not having to wear and worry about glasses.
There are [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Bought A House!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yep, that&#8217;s right.  I started house-hunting back in November and after looking at about 50 houses in the Oshawa/Whitby area, I finally found the one.  It&#8217;s a nice little link home in Oshawa, up near the Five Points Mall.  I really like the layout of the house, it&#8217;s in a good location, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lasik was a success!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Laser eye surgery is nothing short of amazing.  In just 10 minutes, my eyes were fixed and now I can see perfectly without glasses.  
I went to the TLC centre in Toronto last Thursday morning and had a great experience.  I was there for about two hours, with most of that time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting lasers shot into my eyes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After years of wanting to do it, I&#8217;m finally going to get LASIK laser eye surgery.  I&#8217;ve done tons of research, talked to people who&#8217;ve had it done, heard the horror stories and I&#8217;m at the point where I&#8217;m ready to do it.
I&#8217;m scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9:40am at TLC in Toronto.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eagles of Death Metal rock the Mod Club</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I only heard about the Eagles of Death Metal concert last week, even though tickets went on sale in September.  When I found out, I was pretty excited, since they are a great band and I&#8217;ve heard they put on a live show worth checking out.  I went to buy tickets, but of [...]]]></description>

		<title>I can&#8217;t wait for the damn U.S. election to be over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past year, I&#8217;ve been hearing waaaay too much about the upcoming U.S. presidential election.  I&#8217;m tired of it.  I&#8217;ve heard enough about Obama and McCain and that stupid Palin woman.  Sure, this whole thing will probably have some serious impact on the economy and the world, but as a Canadian [...]]]></description>
