	<description>Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.</description>

This protest has since concluded, but it is still very important that you contact your elected representatives and demand that they oppose these bills. This [...]]]></description>

But as a web site operator, even of a dinky little blog like this one, these bills stand [...]]]></description>

We had a great time, got to hang out with some of my family, ate way too much food, played mini-golf, went to the aquarium, and more. I didn&#8217;t spend a lot of time taking pictures, but I did grab some on the beach [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another batch of photos I&#8217;ve been gathering over the last month or two (some of which you might have already seen on Facebook). I especially like the overly-restrictive bathroom sign demanding that I only flush toilet paper. What about the…ahem…waste material? Can&#8217;t I flush that too? I also like the &#8216;whole chicken&#8217; package that [...]]]></description>

As always with major revisions, there have been a lot of obvious and not-obvious changes. Here&#8217;s a review of the most important updates: New Look: My major revisions always come with a new [...]]]></description>

I figured that it would be a fun and interesting way to spend a weekend, if nothing else. It most-certainly was. The course was an evening classroom session, followed by two afternoons on ~250cc trainer bikes (a Honda [...]]]></description>
