			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I spend more time than I should looking at Wordpress themes.  One thing I&#8217;ve noticed about them is that the authors almost always describe their themes as being &#8220;clean&#8221;.  They also emphasize how they put the emphasis on your content.  The claims are made so often that they are pretty much meaningless.  But that&#8217;s not really what I&#8217;m looking for.  What I need is a theme that is ridiculously garish and busy enough to actually distract people from the fact that I never update the site.  Where&#8217;s the theme that can give me that?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like lots of cool people (William Shatner, for example) I suffer from tinnitus.  This is a condition that causes one to have a constant ringing or buzzing in your ears.  It can be caused by lots of things: genetics, listening to loud music or an overdose of awesomeness as in the case of Shatner.  Regardless of the cause, the condition can be quite maddening.  Plus there really aren&#8217;t many effective treatments for it.</p>
<p>So along come the folks at Quietus.  They claim their supplement (or whatever it is) will rid you of your annoying ringing.  Now I don&#8217;t know for a fact that Quietus is snake oil, but I seriously doubt that it works.  But if people want to try it, more power to them.  What I don&#8217;t like are their ads.</p>
<p>While my tinnitus can be annoying at times, it usually isn&#8217;t an issue.  In fact, lots of times I don&#8217;t even notice it unless I think about it.  Of course, it makes it harder to avoid thinking about it when you hear ads for tinnitus remedies on your drive into work in the morning.  So I&#8217;ve been enjoying the ringing for most of the day thanks to Quietus.  Good job guys.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I&#8217;ve been here for years, I can&#8217;t really say that I&#8217;ve putting any suckas in fear lately.  In fact, I haven&#8217;t been doing too much of anything this year, averaging one post per month so far.  The good news is that I didn&#8217;t make a New Year&#8217;s resolution to blog more this year.  The bad news is that I&#8217;m paying for bandwidth that I&#8217;m not using (sort of like my gym membership).</p>
<p>Since my current hosting plan is up for renewal in about a month, it&#8217;s probably a good time to assess whether I really want to keep blogging.  In recent weeks I&#8217;ve spent far more time playing with the layout of the site than actually writing anything for it.  While I think the latest iteration looks pretty good (I even have a snazzy Twitter badge in the footer), most people aren&#8217;t going to be too interested in looking at a static blog.</p>
<p>So unless I can manage to update this site on a regular basis for the next four weeks, I&#8217;m going to backup all my posts on my Wordpress.com site and call it a day.  The Misses is wanting to start a blog, so I can get my CSS fix by managing a site for her.</p>
