Most get ignored. One came in this week that annoyed me, since it was from someone at a company that had sent me the exact same email six [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I sit here in another airport waiting area, I again realize the futility of airport security. The entire TSA was probably created to give people jobs and create a semblance of security. This time, I got into the line at LAX &#8211; United that had the scary body scanner. I stood in two blue [...]]]></description>

Recently got a nice little Verizon USB 760 Modem from work, not a new concept for me, just something to keep in touch while on the go. Unfortunately, the Verizon Access Manager software most decidedly does NOT install correctly on my Mac. Instead, it tells [...]]]></description>
