		<title>Smart Meters prove Energy Conservation costs more.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have a smart meter. It was installed late last year and it&#8217;s nice to see digital numbers instead of little dials. The problem is, our energy consumption has gone UP since receiving this, proving the point that energy conservation costs more.
I&#8217;ve blogged this before, but I&#8217;ll restate the cliff-notes version. Bought a new fridge, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bell Canada Sucks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bell Canada, specifically Bell TV sucks. I called today to remove one speciality channel bundle from our package figuring, &#8220;this should only take 5 minutes right&#8221;.
Right. 
Change made and I hung up.
Then my kids report there is no TV. So I look and sure enough, no programming. They had managed to cancel all of our [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Idiot Neighbour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our houses here are narrow, very narrow. All of the driveways on our street are 18 feet wide and about 22 feet long before you hit the street. With 2 cars in the driveway, you really don&#8217;t have a lot of snow to shovel, even with a good snow storm.
Enter my neighbour, the idiot. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 predictions&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, New Years is just a few days away so I have decided to jump on the bandwagon and predict a few things myself. Hey, even I have the tin-foil hat to match!
In 2010 (and in no particular order)&#8230;
There will be no Election Federally. The Liberal Party will continue to languish on the sidelines while [...]]]></description>

		<title>Talk like Yoda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is pretty cool; http://www.yodaspeak.co.uk/index.php
It takes anything you say and turns it into Yoda-speak. To test this out, I thought&#8230; Why not a song from Moxy Früvous.
King of Spain by Moxy Früvous - As spoken by Yoda
The king of spain (now I eat humble pie), once I was.
Oh&#8230;  My unspeakable wife, queen lisa (now I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The implosion of the ADQ, &#8220;Team Mario Dumont&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a political junkie, I admit it. Even though I live in Ontario, I do a lot of work in Quebec so I follow the political comings and goings quite a bit. I first learned of the ADQ in high school during the Quebec sovereignty referendum in &#8216;95 and treated them with a bit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tis the season to annoy the neighbours&#8230; Yes Xmas season is here, you can tell because the stuff was being hauled out into the stores about two weeks before Halloween. Every year there seems to be an unofficial match between myself and the next door neighbour who we don&#8217;t get a long with, as to [...]]]></description>
