			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, in case you somehow missed it, I think the move to the new server is mostly complete and functional.  I&#8217;m really enjoying the control given by using WordPress and my own hosting.  The new URL is <a href="http://notesfrommosquitohill.com" target="_self">notesfrommosquitohill.com</a>, although you can forward from the old Blogspot address.</p>
<p>The new look has rotating header graphics, a better random post feature, better <a href="http://twitter.com/mack505" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Notes-from-Mosquito-Hill/111732921999?ref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook</a> integration, and a tag cloud. It has a custom template for iPhone/Blackberry/mobile browsers.  It also has better static page support for the About, Mosquito Hill?, and Contact pages.  If you were a subscriber to the old blog either via RSS or email, you will need to resubscribe using the links in the right sidebar.</p>
<p>I tried to register NfMH.com for an easy, short URL, but some squatter thinks it&#8217;s worth a ton of money.  That&#8217;s not happening.  Instead, you can use <a href="http://www.mack505.com" target="_blank">mack505.com</a> for easy-to-remember access in addition to <a href="http://notesfrommosquitohill.com" target="_blank">notesfrommosquitohill.com</a>.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll turn the snow off in a few days.</p>
<p>If you find any problems, please drop me a line via the <a href="http://notesfrommosquitohill.com/contact" target="_self">Contact</a> page above.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I  just purchased a new case for my iPhone via eBay.  When I completed the transaction, eBay presented a list of 12 more <em>&#8216;items I might be interested in&#8217;.</em></p>
<p>Eleven of them were the exact item I&#8217;d just bought.<strong><em> FAIL.</em></strong><span id="more-95"></span></p>
<p><strong><em></em></strong><br />
The twelfth was a Bluetooth accessory which I don&#8217;t need.  Nice try.</p>
<p>But let&#8217;s look deeper:</p>
<p>The eleven exact items can either be more expensive or less expensive than the one I just bought.  If they&#8217;re more expensive, and for some strange reason I DO want another, why would I not go directly back to the vendor from whom I just bought?</p>
<p>If they&#8217;re less expensive, eBay has just told me I&#8217;m a sucker.  That&#8217;s not a good way to encourage repeat sales.<br />
I hope people weren&#8217;t paying for those ads, because if they were they are the suckers.</p>
