		<title>Corded Phones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My NT Vista 350Northern Telecom Vista 350

Growing up in Toronto in the 80s and 90s meant that my telecom provider at home was Bell.

While you used to be able to buy phones, you also could rent them. For numerous reasons (mostly because Bell was a corporate brother to Northern Telecom) Bell had "NT" phones.

And damn, those phones were good. I should say ARE good.]]></description>

		<title>Google Voice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google purchased a company many years ago called Grand Central, an aptly named company that gives you a new phone number, performs a few tricks and goes a long way to making your choice of phone company irrelevant. Not available in Canada (yet) and available in an invitation only mode in the US, Google Voice [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eco Mist Solutions &#8211; Plasma &amp; LCD Cleaner review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is there to say about a spray cleaner that comes in a bottle and works as advertised?  You&#8217;d think not much, and you&#8217;d be wrong! One thing I keep hearing. &#8220;Don&#8217;t use Windex or an ammonia based cleaner on your LCD or Plasma screens!&#8221; Why? Well, from what I can ascertain the ammonia will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Labeling the paper towel dispenser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a very frequent traveler, I see a lot of paper towel dispensers. Most of them represent the worst in design.

		<title>The best RSS News Feed Reader!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Travelling Trini is travelling today, to Trinidad.

As I passed through the airline lounge lobby I was reminded of the best RSS reader, ever!

This RSS reader has solved almost everything that drags down most readers. It prioritizes, reflects local priorities, has incredibly relevant advertising, appropriate pictures and diagrams, is divided itself into multiple sections, never duplicates news items and can be read 'during take-off and landing.']]></description>

		<title>Apple&#8217;s new iPod Shuffle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WTF Apple?  Okay, I get it.  Apple fanboys/girls are used to paying a bit more for your product, but at least it met The Scot&#8217;s minimum QPR (Quality:Price Ratio).  It&#8217;s a non-scientific/gut feel measurement, and yes it&#8217;s metric.  The new iPod Shuffle (released March 11/2009) loses the controls found previously on earlier models, and moves [...]]]></description>
