		<description><![CDATA[After upgrading to WordPress 2.5, my blog&#8217;s admin area has become mostly unusable. Â There will continue to be lul in new posts as I move to a custom publishing system.

		<description><![CDATA[I haven't been able to access my Google Calendar in Safari for nearly two months.  I probably spent about 20 to 40 minutes a week over the past few months trying to track down the cause or a fix.  Today I finally found <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/google-calendar-help-updates/browse_thread/thread/2f1e43c557901fc4/655386ed9f40342e?lnk=gst&#38;q=Safari+Redirecting#655386ed9f40342e">the solution</a> in the Google Calendar Help Group.

Who are you voting for for the President of the United States?  Many of the people I know seem to be pretty much decided, depending, of course, on the outcome of their party&#8217;s primary.  Most are affiliated with the Democratic or Republican parties.  A handful are Greens.
