Your computer? Your smart phone? Maybe your camera? I doubt it. I don&#8217;t know about you, but for me it&#8217;s the TV, and I know I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The holidays have come and gone, and with them, several weeks of intermittent box opening, toy assembling, and instruction reading. Much fun was had, but I do have a complaint/observation: Why must companies continue to churn out really, really bad instructions? The instructions included with toys, gadgets, and other miscellaneous whatnots are laughably bad. I [...]]]></description>

It combines a live feed of Instagram photos with a holiday background (snowflakes, snowmen, snow scene with trees and the like). You&#8217;re able to control the feed of photos to your liking with a pull-down menu of Instagram hashtags, such [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a number of years, I&#8217;ve been using Delicious, the web-based bookmarking service, to store and organize my bookmarks. In fact, it was really more than a bookmarking tool for me. (I saved a lot more than my &#8220;favorites.&#8221;) I used Delicious to store, as a simple title and URL, anything I came across that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another year, another set of holiday cards. Actually, judging from our mail, lots of people are scaling back on traditional, USPS holiday greetings. (Uh, I guess it could also be we&#8217;re just not that popular.) Certainly the zeitgeist argues against going over-the-top with a lavish, expensive card. But here&#8217;s the great thing: With e-cards, you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I have an idea for a column, and then I never get around to writing it. Maybe it's because I've lost interest in the topic, or it seems dated -- too many others have written about it -- or I've realized there's not enough there to make a column. Here's one I planned to write and chose not to: "What Not to Buy Your Kids for the Holidays."]]></description>
