What better way to wind up a holiday weekend than to enjoy a couple of hours with a guy who makes you laugh about things like garage sales, hammer toes, and pot pies?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I headed out to the Rainbow Gardens Geological Preserve, that rock hounder&#8217;s paradise between Las Vegas and Lake Mead.  Rainbow Gardens was named for its colorful rock strata, but for a few fleeting days in spring, wildflowers add even more brilliance to the display.  With a little help from Vivaldi and Animoto.com, [...]]]></description>

The newspapers are dying, and everyone old enough to venerate ink is crying.
But… come on!  Can we really claim we didn’t see this coming?  Isn’t it rather obvious that headline news is better distributed by a medium that can update itself more often than every 24 hours, not to mention deliver itself to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Forbes.com has labeled Las Vegas &#8220;AMERICA&#8217;S EMPTIEST CITY,&#8221; placing it above Detroit in a lineup of urban areas hit hard by recession.  The headline has been replicated everywhere now, finally making it to the print version of the Las Vegas Review Journal this morning.

I joined her for the “swing shift,” which began with a briefing at the command headquarters.  After that, we headed out onto the streets in a black-and-white cruiser.  By the [...]]]></description>

As my mind floated back toward consciousness early this morning, these words from an old summer camp song drifted through my mind. As I awoke, my intellectual faculties began switching on and providing analysis.  My mental jukebox had searched its archive, I decided, and found a tune to match the feeling inspired by yesterday’s inauguration.  Yeah, that was it!  Our new president has taken the reins. “A new day is dawning.”]]></description>
