		<description><![CDATA[After slogging through months of other less interesting updates like the Steam port to Mac and Valve's horribly disappointing E3 "surprise" (Portal 2 on PlayStation 3...  yawn), the addition of Engineer achievements and unique class weapons is a breath of fresh air.  It's the patch that fans have been clamoring for since the inception of class updates for TF2, and it looks like Valve's lost no steam (pun intended!) in providing unique, fun, and rewarding additions to the game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just wanted to throw down a quick update here, since it's been quite a while, and I'm sure many people out there are sitting on the edge of their seats, wondering if I'm lying in a gutter somewhere.  Many sleepless nights were had, courtesy of my lack of updates, and I am sorry.

Fear not, however!  I am alive and well, and have just been busy with a lot of work and, of course, a lot of play.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Though I haven't been staying up late enough to catch much of this last week of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, I have been  keeping up with the whole debacle every day on the internet.  One of the best videos I've seen (barring Conan's monologues of course) has been the following video, from the same Chinese TV firm who created the infamous Tiger Woods CGI re-enactment.  Though I can't understand the audio, I think the visual half of the video speaks for itself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking about doing a write-up of my favorite games from 2009, but it turns out that most of the games I enjoyed in 2009 were from 2008 or earlier.  Luckily, I've just finished Assassin's Creed 2, and it just so happened to be one of the best games I've played in a while.  So instead of doing a list, I thought I'd just write a single game review instead.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With less than a week to go until Father's Day, the ridiculous parade of allegedly dad-focused marketing is already well upon us.  On the way to work this morning, I heard a countless number of commercials trying to convince me to buy my dad a new cell phone.  On TV, I've survived a constant barrage of pleas to pick up new flat-screen sets, stereo equipment, and various implementations of carpentry hardware.  Online, it's been cameras, camcorders, USB memory sticks, hard drives, and all sorts of other computer gadgetry.

Each holiday it gets worse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My brother, Spencer, and I had been planning on attending BlizzCon this year, but during the first round of ticket sales, neither of us was able to get to a computer in time to get some tickets.  I had just returned from a short vacation in Arizona, and was on the road the same day for another short trip to Lake Tahoe.  I had a lot of fun that weekend.  Spencer had to go to work in the morning.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man, I go away for a small vacation and I miss the next big TF2 announcement from Valve!  Not a big deal, really - I did have quite a good time on my trip, so a TF2 update kinda takes a back seat in terms of awesomeness...  but more on that later.  Valve's got a new update page set up for the next TF2 update, and it looks like it's going to be another sweet addition to the game.]]></description>

Well, my apologies for the delay – it's been a busy time for me over the last week, and I just haven't been able to find the time to write anything.  I've meant to though, so hopefully I'll be getting back on track with this post.  In the interest of everyone's time, here's a quick list of everything I've been up to over the last couple of weeks that has contributed, in one way or another, to my lag in blog posts.]]></description>
