		<description><![CDATA[Like anyone with a toddler at home, our TV is permanently glued to the children&#8217;s TV channel.Â  Treehouse TV.
I watch a lot of these children&#8217;s TV series these days.Â  Enough to form opinions of them.
Big and Small
I like it.Â  I often wonder why Big doesn&#8217;t kick Small&#8217;s self-centered ass to the curb.Â  But it&#8217;s funny, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world of watches is a strange place.  The best watches tend to be relatively inexpensive, while some rather poor watches are priced out of range of all but the very wealthy.  By &#8220;best&#8221; and &#8220;poor&#8221;, I&#8217;m referring not to subjective things like aesthetics.  I&#8217;m not even going to bother thinking about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I completed an introductory welding course at Conestoga College last year, and bought myself a small oxy-acetylene torch outfit.  I figured my first real project should be a welding cart.  I had my gas cylinders freestanding up against a wall, and that&#8217;s just not very safe.  I try to cultivate a healthy fear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year I took an evening course in Basic Welding at Conestoga College. It was just an introductory course for people who want to learn how to weld for their own projects. No credit toward welding as a profession.
It covered oxy-acetylene and a bit of GMAW (aka MIG). I like oxy-acetylene, but i didn&#8217;t really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote previously about the extortionate &#8220;brokerage&#8221; fees charged by UPS and FedEx for imports into Canada.  That post has attracted a huge volume of response from other enraged people.Â  I have learned more since then, including an interesting response direct from the Canada Border Services Agency.

I got the processed films back from Film Rescue, quite a long time ago now.  They didn&#8217;t really rock my world, I&#8217;m afraid.
I finally got around to uploading the images to my home photo gallery, here.

I never played any of the Resident Evil series before, but I&#8217;ve quite enjoyed the movies, and I generally enjoy survival-horror shoot-em-ups.  But this one isn&#8217;t doing it for me.
