		<description><![CDATA[The following is my submission to the Local Government Elections Task Force.
To the Local Government Elections Task Force,
I was elected as a park commissioner in November 2008 pursuant to the Cultus Lake Park Act.  The purpose of this letter is to express my opinions on the matters that your task force is considering.

		<title>BC Citizens for Green Energy, Powerline BC not credible &#8211; Green energy not economically feasible without government support</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A day ago, I heard stories on news radio that a green energy lobby group claimed that exporting clean energy could eliminate the deficit and reduce the PST.  These are pretty strong claims and thus caught my attention, and I researched the source of this claim.  After performing some research I have hence [...]]]></description>

		<title>Federal Budget 2010: No change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have had time to gloss over the federal budget document, enough to comfortably write some analysis.  This post is cross-posted on Divestor.
The budgetary cycle this year from both the federal and provincial government can best be described as &#8220;nothing changing, we are staying the course&#8221;.
The federal government, in particular, managed to crunch 424 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Birth Announcement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It will probably take me a few weeks (months&#8230; years&#8230;) before I get the site back on track, but I am proud to announce the birth of a baby boy in late February (Olympic gold baby!).  I sent out an email and bcc&#8217;ed a ton of people on it, so I apologize if you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why the PC gaming market is still dead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read the article on Ubisoft implementing a requirement in its software to have a constant internet feed in order to retain the saved game status.  The primary goal behind this is to circumvent piracy.
I completely agree with the analysis of the author, but even if Ubisoft is successful with their endeavours, it will [...]]]></description>

		<title>South Korea and China speedskating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the Women&#8217;s 3000 meter relay speedskating, South Korea was disqualified for clashing skates with the Chinese skater.  When watching the replay on CTV I didn&#8217;t think the judge made the correct decision, but when watching it from a different video feed, it was pretty obvious.  The still image doesn&#8217;t do it justice:

It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sun Run 2010: Week 16, sore limbs, cross-training</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been a couple weeks since I last reported, and there hasn&#8217;t been much to report &#8211; because of schedule constraints, I&#8217;ve been running with 30 minute loads and tried to get back into &#8217;synchronization&#8217; with the regular schedule this week.
This Monday I attempted to start off what was the week 9 of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Olympic Downtown Vancouver, quick impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went for a stroll around downtown Vancouver Tuesday evening, and had the following thoughts:
1.  The Canada Line operated very well at peak time.  Trying to pick out the people in the train that were locals and those that were tourists was an interesting exercise.  Of amusement was one girl (guessing a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The best summary of the Canadian Olympic hockey team to date&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the brutal 5-3 loss to the USA&#8230;

(2:57 in) &#8220;It&#8217;s alright.  It&#8217;s only a qualifying game.&#8221;
If whoever did this cleared up the spelling errors, it would be brilliant.  It&#8217;s still funny to watch.

Google Mail (despite potential other issues) does an excellent job of getting rid of spams with very few false positives.  I also do not receive much volume over my telephone &#8211; if it ever becomes a problem I can just turn [...]]]></description>
