		<description><![CDATA[In October, a new company called Nest announced the release of a new type of learning thermostat that learns your patterns, knows when you&#8217;re away from home, and can update itself and be controlled from a remote computer or smartphone. I ordered my Nest on October 26th, a few days after pre-ordering started.  Demand was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cary and I built our raised garden this evening, erected on the same spot where last year&#8217;s garden attempt had failed miserably.   The garden walls were a cinch to set up, taking only about 2 minutes to build.   Clearing away the area and adding the dirt was the hardest part.  Grass had already overgrown [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cary and I worked today on sprucing up the front yard.  Last night, we bought 50 landscaping bricks, 5 bags of mulch, a wheelbarrow/dumping cart thing, and a 4&#8242; x 6&#8242; raised garden kit.  Amazingly, we were able to cram all of this into the Honda Fit (it wasn&#8217;t the space that concerned me, but [...]]]></description>

The cabinet was rather deep, and had only three shelves. The problem with keeping small spice jars here was that the smaller jars were stacked on top of each [...]]]></description>

I decided that it was time to get a new camera, but which one? That&#8217;s not the kind of purchase I take lightly. It took several months of research before finally [...]]]></description>

First, we replaced our kitchen sink faucet: The old faucet was somehow hampering water flow&#8230;I had initially wondered whether there may be a problem with the water pressure in our house, because the kitchen faucet produced a pretty weak [...]]]></description>
