		<title>Am I newly elite?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Charles Murray thinks there&#8217;s a new elite, out of touch with &#8220;ordinary Americans&#8221;. Claire Berlinski makes it a quiz. Other elitists say it&#8217;s worth spreading. I concur. So &#8211; how much of a new elitist am I? Can you talk about &#8220;Mad Men?&#8221; At length (Elitist) Can you talk about the &#8220;The Sopranos?&#8221; Not even kinda [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bad Beats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Warning: This post is just thinly attempt to casually drop the fact that I lucked into winning a tournament this weekend. In Rounders, Matt Damon&#8217;s character quotes Confessions of a Winning Poker Player: &#8220;Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dangerous Advice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not usually one to post about sex-related topics in this space, not least because my parents know where this blog is. (Hi Mom! If you&#8217;re reading this, please close your eyes and go on to the next post.) I would additionally like to preface this with the statement that you may find some of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Addenda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been discussing and re-reading my previous post, and realize that I may have left people with the wrong impression of my opinion. So here, in a more reasoned, and calm voice, let me clarify: I did not mean to imply that I believed that all white Arizonans are racists. I know many white Arizonans [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Giving the People What They Want vs. What They Deserve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It&#8217;s not rocket science, you ratchet up the level of enforcement so people leave on their own.&#8221; &#8211; Kris Kobach co-author of AZ Senate Bill 1070 (source) While we&#8217;re on the subject of institutional racism, a quick little note about Arizona and what I&#8217;ll call their &#8220;papers, please&#8221; law. A lot of people have been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tim James is a Xenophobe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I may have linked to this before, but then, I realize that even on the internet, where there are archives of what I&#8217;ve said, I&#8217;m prone to repeating myself a lot. Anyway, watch this campaign ad for Alabama gubernatorial candidate Tim James: This ad makes me feel physically uneasy, especially in light of the recent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gmail, and Dealing With Notifications</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google Wave recently added email notifications, which I&#8217;m not sure is the best notification solution, but it&#8217;s a common one, and it works for the time being. However, it reminded me that I should take a look at how I handle notifications in my email. Having done so, I&#8217;d like to take a moment to share, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mac Software</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just wrote a nice long email to a new Mac owner listing software that I think would be of interest. I&#8217;ve done this a couple times, and figured it&#8217;d probably be a good time to put it up some place public, where I can link to it and edit it. So, I am posting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marginalized Media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just realized that I had this draft of an almost-complete entry saved for more than a year now. (Looks like I started writing it in February &#8217;08.)  Seeing nothing particularly objectionable in it, I&#8217;ve filled in blanks (and only one with an anachronistic reference) and am hitting submit now: Long time no post &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things I Wish I Had Known: Grad School (Part 1 &#8211; What is Grad School?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I find more and more that I know things that seem obvious now, but were less so when they could have been more useful to me.  I&#8217;ve come to realize that these things are probably likewise confusing to still-uninitiated. So, as a public service to people who are as confused as I was, (or an [...]]]></description>
