		<title>The Health Benefits of Bacon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Top Health Benefit of Bacon: It tastes good so it makes me happy.
Happy is good, happy releases good hormones and it keeps you in a good mood. That&#8217;s healthy enough for me.

On a serious note:Bacon is often criticized by health professionals for having too much fat, cholesterol and sodium content. While this is true, it shouldn&#8217;t be demonized as much as it is. Think about these factors:
Compared to other ground-meat products, bacon at least has a clean cut shape that lets you know what part of the ...]]></description>

		<title>When timthumb.php returns a 404 Error in Wordpress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently migrated some of our websites to a new VPS with Inmotion hosting. After the migration, everything went smooth (pretty much.. but as smooth as a server transfer can be), except one issue &#8211; all the timthumb.php scripts were not working well in Wordpress, which meant that blog thumbnails were not generating.
So for example, the following URL returned a 404 error, and defaulted to Wordpress&#8217; 404 page:
http://www.sonikastudios.com/wp-content/themes/sonikas/scripts/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/DSC01426-600&#215;337.jpg&#38;w=100&#38;h=100&#38;zc=1&#38;q=100
This happened on this very blog (www.jeffkee.com) as well. So then I went to check other things out, and found out that other ...]]></description>

		<title>Why Be Against The Vancouver 2010 Olympics?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s forget the fact that a group of whiny protesters cannot stop a global event that supports our elite athletes and sponsors, because the high achieving, hard working ones are the ones who have more power and say on what goes on, rather than the opposite. Acknowledging that all the protests and complaining won&#8217;t stop the games from happening anyways, let&#8217;s explore why it&#8217;s somewhat of a self-contradiction, and an illogical thing, to protest the Olympic games. I will dissect the arguments from the anti-Olympic crowd, and present counter arguments. ...]]></description>

		<title>My First Ever Surgery Tonsillectomy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So for the first time in my life as I can remember, I underwent a real surgery, with full anesthesia and all. Tonsillectomy was the case &#8211; I had frequent cases of tonsillitis and related throat symptoms, so thanks to the courtesy of Dr. Amanda Maloney, M.D., now I am tonsils-free.
This is, I suppose, a rather bizarre review to put on my blog &#8211; my experience of a surgery. However, it&#8217;s a very personal and interesting topic nonetheless, so I won&#8217;t hesitate to cover.

9 AM: I arrived with my girlfriend ...]]></description>

		<title>Apple Answers to The FCC Regarding Google Voice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Apparently there was some controversy regarding the Google Voice app that Apple did not authorize to put on the Apps store. There were numerous other applications that try to take advantage of the cellular data network to place voice calls, rather than using the regular voice call network (which is limited in airtime, of course, to the users).
It&#8217;s not the case in Canada but in the US, most iPhone users enjoy unlimited data through the AT&#38;T network, which really enables iPhone users to get the most out of their smartphone ...]]></description>

		<title>Another Group of Whining Complainers &#8211; 10 Bucks Too</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shaw Cable is the predominant cable and internet provider in the downtown Vancouver region, and the other competitor is Novus Communications (and Telus is in the mix too but their market is too small, and we won&#8217;t discuss them today). Regularly, an internet/tv bundle would start around $50~$60/mth or so (the precise figures do not matter), but recently, Shaw has launched a marketing campaign to give the services at $10/mth promotional price for a fixed amount of time. I believe it&#8217;s 10 months, but again, the precise figures are not ...]]></description>

		<title>Critical Mass = Ignorant Mass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Critical Mass has a noble goal of making our cities more bicycle friendly, with more bike lanes, and better safety for bikes, as well as courteous sharing of the roads between motorists and bikers. However it seems that the original purpose has been tainted by the moronic, selfish, unpractical, and pathetic mob-like method of execution. Here I will discuss very candidly, and offensively, why, as a proud car-driving yuppie, (who also likes to ride the bike) think the Critical Mass is an unintelligent mass protest that has to stop for the good of everybody.  

I recently experienced the agony that drivers go through when attempting to drive through downtown in the early evening on the last Friday of each month. I have had conversations with two absolutely idiotic supporters of the Critical Mass (their responses were unintelligent, illogical, and that of a passive left-wing union mongers who tend to spend their lives complaining against the system for their lack of well-being), and I have gathered my thoughts on it. ]]></description>

		<title>Best Email and Domain Management Practices</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a web developer who constantly deals with domains and emails being transferred, I&#8217;d like to set a standard guideline on how one should manage their domains and email in order to maintain autonomy and control over your own material, while eliminating the chances of losing domains through silly administrative mishaps.

ALWAYS keep a public email with hotmail, gmail, yahoo etc., and check it regularly.
Occasionally you may drop a domain name altogether, or stop working for a company, or cut partnership with a company. That means, your old email at john@oldcompany.com ...]]></description>

		<title>Recently Completed Websites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I provided an update to this blog. I&#8217;d like to share some work that I&#8217;ve done for my clients and go over some of the basic technologies.
1. Xtown.ca
Xtown is an extreme sports facility located in Quebec, and they have an excellent indoor track for motocross, ATVs and more. For Xtown we&#8217;ve provided web design work, as well as PHP/MySQL programming work in order to allow them to manage members, bookings and payments on the website through the front end and back end. It is an ...]]></description>

		<title>The US President, The US President</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was watching the CBC News today (one of my daily rituals) and I realized something very important about how Canadian politicians and strategists use references to the President of the United States of America.
Years ago when the war in Iraq began under the whole propaganda of &#8220;War on Terrorists&#8221;, most Canadadians viewed the politics of the redneck President, George Bush, as less than favourable. In fact, the huge opposition towards Bush&#8217;s policies made a change in how Canadian political battles and debates were fought. Stephen Harper and the Conservative ...]]></description>
