		<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 &#8216;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; my [...]]]></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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movie Review: Spiderman 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to see Spiderman 3 the day it opened.  A longtime fan of the comic franchise, I&#8217;ve been more or less amused by the film versions to date.  What follows is my reactions to the latest installment.  Warning thar be (minor) spoilers below:
Overall rating: ** (out of 5)
The plot of this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ann Coulter&#8217;s Godless</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was in Barnes and Noble the other day, and from a distance, I saw the cover of Ann Coulter&#8217;s newest book, Godless.
I don&#8217;t have a lot of love for Coulter, but I know she or the people packaging her, are very good &#8211; they sell grandstanding and posturing in a way that they could [...]]]></description>

Even if you disagree with me &#8211; post a scathing comment, then send people a link saying &#8220;look what an idiot this guy is!&#8221;  Free exchange of ideas never hurt anyone, [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Humour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Websnark via tailsteak: this thread on Truth and Beauty Bombs is a stroke of genius.  I like to consider myself something of a student of humour, even if my jokes are terrible.  I still like to see what makes things funny, and what people do correctly and what people do incorrectly when expressing humour.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Steaming Java (or: A Nice, hot Cup of Joel)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First a quick note to my readers from the LJ syndicated feed &#8211; please post comments in the original article at http://rant.aprotim.com .  I don&#8217;t always see comments on the syndicated feed, and they disappear when the articles expire.
So, I&#8217;ve been saying it for years, but not that Joel on Software says it, everybody [...]]]></description>

		<title>Terminated?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of you may recall my earlier post about Tookie Williams, which sparked a small debate on the death penalty.  Today, Gov. Schwarzenegger denied his lawyers&#8217; appeal for clemency.
For those of you who don&#8217;t know, Tookie Williams was a co-founder of the Crips.  Yes, those Crips, as in &#8220;Bloods and&#8230;&#8221;.  He was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alias Canceled &#8211; Tens Outraged</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I know a lot of people who may or may not read this may be upset about this, but Alias was finally given the axe (use bugmenot.com if you don&#8217;t have an account&#8230;)
It was bugging me that ABC will pick up a show like Alias and let it run for 5 seasons, while Fox [...]]]></description>
