		<description><![CDATA[Back ups are very important.  Maybe that&#8217;s a bit of an understatement.  I have over 100GB is critical data.  Five years of digital photos, both raw and edited.  A year&#8217;s worth of digital video in MPEG2 format.  My MP3s from my archived CD collection.
I have a lot of critical crap.

		<description><![CDATA[Had to happen sooner or later.  After three good flights, my poor Shuttle has encountered the ground.  I was doing some figure-8s and, at the 2/3 nose in position, I lost my brain-thumb interface.  That, coupled with lack of positive pitch, led to a rapid descent followed by a sudden stop.

		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago, I found myself looking for some bling for my TREX 450.  I sent a few messages back and forth with Scott from RC-Tek, and he convinced me to pick up a full kit from him.  He informed me that it represented some of his older stock, but assured me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the hardest things to do on a heli is to learn to hover.  Helis are, by nature, unstable.  Some have described it as balancing a marble on a large mirror.  Or standing on a basketball.  I think the point you should be taking away from this is that it&#8217;s FRICKIN HARD to hover [...]]]></description>
