		<description><![CDATA[It dawned on me after my last post about the new spate of spammers that I had not really posted anything since late fall. True, but also not true. I’ve been posting fairly frequently, but over on my gaming blog rather than here. The hoopla continues in various arenas, but I’ve been having more fun [...]]]></description>
