		<title>A Good Thing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

The spam trollers will hit this, bounce to any one of 3.2 trillion randomly generated pages, and then start downloading an infinite number of completely random e-mail addresses. Once their database of e-mail addresses has been sufficiently polluted, it becomes unusable due to the high number of resources required to successfully send e-mails, and therefore [...]]]></description>

		<title>XP Update Woes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something strange happened just before the holidays and XP (Pro) became very unstable. At the same time, our router stopped working completely &#8212; no power-on light &#8212; and three hard disks developed sector errors, so my guess is that we had a spike that fried the router and crashed/rebooted XP in such a way that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three Cheers for Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know when this started, but PHX now has full and free wireless access across the entire airport. I just read this morning that Denver will do the same thing starting this week, but with advertisements that will need to be clicked through in order to get to the web. So be it &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adventures in VoIP: SPA2002-ER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been tossing around the idea of setting up an Opdahls-only VoIP network for a while. We live in Tokyo (Although I travel 50+% of the time), my brother and his family are down near Los Angeles, my sister and her family are in the Portland, Oregon area, and my parents split their time between [...]]]></description>

		<title>Registerfly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, we now have control of opdahls.com again. Thanks to Registerfly and Kevin Medina we lost control for several months. There&#8217;s not much to say except to give a hearty UFF DA! and get on with life. Interested parties can read more at the Wikipedia article.
BTW, we now own opdahls.net and theopdahls.com. Anyone interested? :-)

		<title>Karmic Damage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This e-mail was just wrong on so many levels that I saved it and am posting it here for everyone to laugh at and enjoy. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent, and although I have considered the karmic effect of putting all of these harvestable addresses here, my assumption is that [...]]]></description>

		<title>More pain&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I own MSFT as an investment, so some would say I am at cross-purposes with this post, but one has to wonder at some of the moronic things happening in Redmond. Like this&#8230;
Today Jan and I decided that (once again) we would input all of our investment data, etc., etc., into the PC and get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time for a revolution&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(An episode where Peter screams out loud at stupidity in the Japanese service industry&#8230;)
I&#8217;m a businessman, and businessmen (Or businesswomen, businesspeople, drunken monkeys, or lobotomized fleas for that matter&#8230;) will tell you that in order to win or keep business, you do things to make your customers&#8217; lives easier. Japan is reknowned the world over [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Chinternet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good article here &#8211;> http://blog.fastcompany.com/archives/2006/03/08/chinas_wondrous_web.html

The whole Chinese take on the internet (Do I get credit &#8212; or snarls? &#8212; for the term &#8220;Chinternet? :-)   )  is really amazing. I first noticed this about 4-5 years ago when taking business trips to China. It was the easiest place in the world to get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maybe on my 51st birthday I&#8217;ll take a  ride&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;A revolutionary way to send cargo into space, the LiftPort Space Elevator will consist of a carbon nanotube composite ribbon eventually stretching some 62,000 miles from earth to space. The LiftPort Space Elevator will be anchored to an offshore sea platform near the equator in the Pacific Ocean, and to a small man-made counterweight in [...]]]></description>
