		<title>Overo + Controller Area Network (Revisited)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back I posted about my work to enable support for the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller with my Gumstix Overo. At the time I was confident of success because I was successfully receiving messages from my AVR setup. It was only recently that I discovered that in fact although reception was ok, transmission was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bleu Cheese Macaroni</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I made bleu cheese macaroni and barbecued chicken. It was a special request from Eileen. The original recipe comes from Epicurious and I generally followed it pretty closely. It turned out delicious and I&#8217;d highly recommend it.]]></description>

		<title>iPhone 4!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The iPhone 4 arrived today in Canada. There has been amazing demand, with lots of long lineups and many, many disappointed people. I was convinced I wanted one but wasn&#8217;t sure I would actually get one today, given the expectation of limited supply and high demand. I wasn&#8217;t really prepared to line up at 3am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We went away this past weekend for a four day mini-vacation up the coast to Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast. We stayed at a great little B&#038;B called Marian&#8217;s on the Coast. Its in a wonderful location and since they are &#8220;dog friendly&#8221; we took the two dogs Bailey and Cairo with us. The B&#038;B [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wheels go round and round</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today marked quite the milestone for my Outdoor Robot project. The last remaining mechanical parts to make for the drive train functional are complete! In the picture here you can see the brass coupler and a steel drive shaft. The gearbox from the RC truck was originally set up to use a &#8220;dogbone&#8221; drive shaft [...]]]></description>

		<title>More progress on the Outdoor Robot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve made a number of additions to my Outdoor Robot project, including motor mounts and getting the steering set up. The motor mounts are milled from half-inch aluminum plate, holding two GHM-04 motors plus shaft encoders from Lynxmotion. These motors should be plenty powerful enough and also have a good top speed for this application. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Han shot first!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night we attended Star Wars in Concert here in Vancouver. It was most excellent! There were a few people dressed in costume (not me or Eileen though) and the general atmosphere was energetic, sort of like seeing the original movie in the theatre many, many years ago. I originally thought the event would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>New seats for next season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eileen and I went to the Canucks seat selection session last night to pick new seats for next season. The new season won&#8217;t start until October but we are still looking forward to it! The seat selection process is both thrilling and depressing &#8211; GM Place has something like 18,800 seats for each game (sold [...]]]></description>

		<title>End of hockey for another year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup tonight, marking the end of another hockey season. I&#8217;m disappointed the series didn&#8217;t go the full seven games, but I think the team with more skill won. The Flyers gave it the good fight but in the end they couldn&#8217;t put up enough of a fight to delay [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soufflé</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eileen and I were at our friend Melissa&#8217;a home for dinner recently (it was an excellent meal as you&#8217;d expect) and she was telling us about this amazing bleu cheese soufflé from Ina Garten&#8217;s cookbook Barefoot in Paris. Melissa had made it once before and raved about it. Leafing through the book made my mouth [...]]]></description>
