		<title>First race of the season&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a good winter. A long winter. Long days without the sun, cold early mornings hurting myself before many folks roll out of bed, and a early bedtime. Since October that&#8217;s been my regimen &#8211; 4 or 5 days out of the week. Our little baby Amelia has injected a bit of a much-need [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wordpress Search Engine Result Exploit!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just figured out a fairly sneaky Wordpress exploit &#8211; one that you won&#8217;t even notice if you visit an exploited Wordpress installation with a &#8220;normal&#8221; browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer. The exploit only &#8220;does it&#8217;s thing&#8221; when visited by a non-standard browser like a text-only one (like old-school Lynx) or, the intended target [...]]]></description>

		<title>The USGP of Cyclocross Comes to Town, A Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, the US Gran Prix of Cyclocross was in Louisville, my hometown. Cyclocross is a nutty mix of cycling and running on grass, dirt and sand.

		<title>HOWTO: Build a Better Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past couple of years I have found myself perusing and eventually following a number of local/regional/national blogs and sites on stuff that I find interesting &#8211; cooking, baseball, model sailplanes, cycling, what-have-you. The best ones are ones backed by interesting people with interesting things to say &#8211; at least interesting to me, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In honor of the USGP Derby City Cup cyclocross race this weekend, I give you this:
Look upon my works, ye mighty, and chuckle heartily.

What you see before you is my spring/summer waiting-on-the-baby project, a cyclocross bike. It&#8217;s a jumble of parts acquired from my basement, local sources, Craiglist and eBay. It is also my first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Working things out on the side of the mountain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kelly and I wanted a bit of a &#8220;last hurrah&#8221; before the baby came in July, so early in the spring I reserved a cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains.

The weather was so-so with rain often, but enough sunlight and wonderfully cool temperatures to make it all very spring-y. We didn&#8217;t have any serious plans [...]]]></description>
