		<description><![CDATA[The problem with delay() is that your code is stuck waiting for the time to elapse. What if you wanted to do something more in that time? There are places where you don&#8217;t need to do anything with your processor resource but more often then not, you need to be doing something useful. The IsTime() function introduced lets you use [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This solar garden/path light was found at Target for $3! Nothing special about path lights, and the low price is no surprise in our times but this item looks very interesting for home projects. Instead of the fancy curved “good looking” enclosures it’s a simple cube. Very easy to reuse this enclosure. Reuse the enclosure, [...]]]></description>
