The site comes courtesy of the web wizardry of Fictitious Bob and his coding elves, and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I knew my last post would be deeply unpopular in some quarters (though, to be fair, it also had strident support, and not just from people in creative professions). I got a lot of irate tweets, and lost followers. I&#8217;ll live. The piece&#8217;s potential unpopularity was kind of why I posted it, rather than getting [...]]]></description>

I own a Kindle Fire (and had the previous iteration before that), am a Prime member, and merrily download book after book onto the device.

Yesterday afternoon a robot called. My phone rang, and when I picked it up an automated lady imperiously informed me that Sprint was going to reimburse me [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s time for the next tedious and stomach-churning update from one man&#8217;s attempts not to be stolen from by a cell phone carrier.
