		<title>Using TinyTDS to connect to SQL Server with Ruby on Rails 3 (for Mac OSX)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note: please see comments by Ken Collins (metaskills.net) at the bottom of this entry. He mentions a better way to do this without even installing FreeTDS.

		<title>Best Music of 2006: My picks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1) Flaming Lips: At War with the Mystics For the second time this decade, the Lips have nailed it. While the first song (&#8220;Yeah, Yeah, Yeah&#8220;) annoys the hell out of me, the rest of the record is an honest-to-God masterpiece. &#8220;Vein of Stars&#8221; and &#8220;Pompeii AM Götterdämmerung&#8221; are my favorites with &#8220;Sound of Failure&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1) The Shins : Wincing the Night Away This album represents a change of direction for the James Mercer and his little outfit from Portland. At first I didn&#8217;t like it.
