	<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>

		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s list hasn&#8217;t seen much change from the last, a welcome shift from last year&#8217;s slew of new introductions. What few changes there have been to existing models have usually been inoffensive, and there have not been many new-for-2012 models introduced. The Kia Soul and Toyota Prius, while still ugly, have dropped off the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used to have a BlackBerry—the &#8216;Bold&#8217; 9000. I liked it quite a bit and, for its time, it was a fine phone. I very seriously considered replacing it with another BlackBerry but decided to give Palm another chance with its WebOS operating system. After Palm&#8217;s implosion, I ended up choosing Android. Born out of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, my Kindle 2—which was my first e-reader—met its untimely demise when I, suffering from a 24-hour stomach bug, dropped it from a height of three or four feet onto a hardwood floor. The impact damaged the e-ink display; the top one or two inches quit working. I replaced it with a Kindle 3 (Wifi [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just over one year ago, Palm—the mobile computing company known for the Palm Pilot and one of the original smartphones, the Treo—was absorbed by Hewlett-Packard (HP). I was a long-time Palm supporter, having owned a Palm OS-running Handspring Visor Pro, a Palm Treo 650 (my first smartphone), and later a WebOS-based Palm Pre Plus. Despite some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in March I built Excelsior, my first home-built PC. It has been serving me wonderfully and I have no serious complaints. It did run a little hot since I&#8217;m always pegging the processor at 100% with my Boinc projects, so I added an aftermarket cooler and an extra couple of fans after the initial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote just over a year ago about how dishonorable our society has become in many ways. One particular area I pointed out was in business how things are advertised very simply (e.g., &#8216;unlimited Internet!&#8217;) while the reality is often much more complex and contradictory (e.g., &#8217;2gb per month&#8217;—which is not &#8216;unlimited&#8217;). Another area of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may recall a letter I wrote to Cigna Healthcare last May regarding an idiotic &#8216;preexisting condition questionnaire&#8217; they sent to Melissa. It was idiotic because Melissa had been a Cigna customer for years without interruption. Insurance companies can only hold preexisting conditions against you if you have had a break in medical insurance coverage; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been a fan of science fiction, but many of my favorites in the genre did a poor job of actually predicting the future. The proof of that is that many of my beloved sci-fi events and stories, written to occur well in the future, have already &#8216;happened.&#8217; If their writers had been right [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years I have read quite a bit by and about Stephen Hawking. Hawking, a brilliant theoretical physicist and cosmologist, excels at communicating complex scientific concepts to laymen. His most well-known work, A Brief History of Time, was first published in 1988 and has sold well over ten million copies. It is among my favorite [...]]]></description>

We then left Bermuda mid-day Thursday and returned to Baltimore on Saturday morning. This is the fourth time we have been on a cruise, but our [...]]]></description>
