		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, my lovely wife bought me what was possibly the greatest birthday gift she could think of, an iPod. I&#8217;m typically not the type to really latch on to a thing anymore, but this device has become a love-worn treasure. It hasn&#8217;t been so much a form of entertainment to me, I have put hours and hours of music on it that I hardly listen to (my playlist really needs to be culled), but it has been a vast source of information for me. Especially on some of these long days where I just want to hear an intelligent adult talking instead of my lovely toddler&#8217;s babbling, I have a long list of podcasts that I&#8217;ve subscribed to for one reason or another, and it is my connection to the world at large. For my news and information&#8230;. Democracy Now! &#8211; Amy Goodman&#8217;s award-winning national news broadcast is also available every morning as a video and audio podcast. I take the audio, since it&#8217;s very rare that I need the visuals to further understand what it is she&#8217;s reporting. If you want a progressive-leaning newscast that isn&#8217;t hampered by bowing to corporate advertisers&#8217; interests, though, this is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let’s talk about the fourth branch of the government. Wait, I can see you counting on those fingers… Executive, Legislative, Judicial… Isn’t that it? Well, officially, yes. But there is one other “branch” that was put in place as a means to inform the populous through the “freedom of the press” clause in the First Amendment. It was deemed necessary that newspapers operate without the hindrance of the government because it was felt that they were responsible for keeping an impartial (or at least unencumbered) eye on the government. With that in mind, every Sunday I get the Star Tribune on my doorstep, and I consider that to be my most important source of news. A friend of mine once poked a little fun at me for this quaint attachment to the newspaper. After all, this is the digital age. Why have a static sheet of paper dropped on your doorstep with this dynamic content with instant access to breaking news is constantly at your fingertips? The newspaper is as dead as the trees it’s printed on, was the gist of his message, and now is the time to fire up the web browser and have your news aggregator mine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Yes, I&#8217;ve heard whisperings on the wind for a while that Apple was coming out with a new tablet computer.  And, like any other impending Apple announcement, rumors was all that would be provided.  Being the patient sort, I&#8217;ve long since stopped groping for such tidbits, as I know that Apple will dish out the info when they&#8217;re good and ready. But, being as I&#8217;m also keeping an eye on the market for a new Apple notebook since the near-death of our PowerBook (my lovely daughter being its attempted killer, the weapon being a cup of coffee), I did have my hopes up for this one.  A tablet, you say?  I was gearing up for something like this little number from HP: What they put out was this: It&#8217;s called an iPad.  Essentially, it&#8217;s more than an iPhone and less than a laptop.  It&#8217;s Apple&#8217;s answer to a Netbook, those pared-down notebooks with just barely enough power for you to read your e-mail.  And upon first look it seems like it&#8217;s a device that I could get into.  I&#8217;ve considered an eReader for a while, mostly for the purpose of getting my newspaper subscription without all the hassle of actually [...]]]></description>
