HFLC experiment. Without further ado, I present Tami&amp;rsquo;s HFLC Four
Cheese Sauce.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bulverde Mayor Threatens Bicyclists</title><link>http://iamtherealbill.com/articles/2013/04/bulverde-mayor-threatens-bicyclists/</link><pubDate>Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:58:00 +1200</pubDate><guid>http://iamtherealbill.com/articles/2013/04/bulverde-mayor-threatens-bicyclists/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I originally entitled this &amp;ldquo;Bulverde Mayor Opens Mouth and Inserts
Foot&amp;rdquo;, but figured this  suited it better. That said, both are true. In
&lt;a href="http://bit.ly/11o1l2p"&gt;an article he wrote himself&lt;/a&gt; (opens in new window), the Mayor proved
he knows nothing of the laws and common decency, then threatened to
abuse the police to target a class of law abiding citizens doing legal
things - riding their bicycles.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>What is Service?</title><link>http://iamtherealbill.com/articles/2012/10/what-is-service/</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Oct 2012 07:18:00 +1200</pubDate><guid>http://iamtherealbill.com/articles/2012/10/what-is-service/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I ran across this article on CFO.com: &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href="http://www3.cfo.com/article/2012/2/the-cloud_service-big-data" title="CFO Article on The Meaning of Service"&gt;The True Meaning of Service&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo;.
Something really stood out to me. In the article, Timothy Chou asserts
Amazon is not in the business of sales, but in service. As someone who
has had poor service interactions with Amazon, and read of the many
people who have had bad to horrible experiences with Amazon&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;service
department&amp;rdquo;, I was taken aback.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The New Office is Ready</title><link>http://iamtherealbill.com/notes/2012/09/the-new-office-is-ready/</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Sep 2012 10:33:00 +1200</pubDate><guid>http://iamtherealbill.com/notes/2012/09/the-new-office-is-ready/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iamtherealbill.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_1554.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.iamtherealbill.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_1554-300x224.jpg" alt="A Shot from the deck door of my new home office." title="My New Home Office"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Shot from the deck door of my new home office.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No more garage office! There are a few things to finish off, such as the
water cooler and mini-fridge, not to mention decorating. However, my new
home office is ready for business. I have plenty of windows providing a
bounty of natural daylight from the second story of the new house. I
think I&amp;rsquo;ll be placing the mini-fridge just to the right of the monitor
in the picture. The water cooler will go behind the desk in a tight
corner where the walk-in closet door opens.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
