		<title>Google+ hangouts = Worldwide coffee shop writing sessions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hate social networking. I do. I also love it, but that doesn&#8217;t lessen my hate. Allow me to explain&#8230;
If you&#8217;re anything like me &#8212; and if you&#8217;re reading this, you&#8217;re probably another science fiction and fantasy writer, so you&#8217;re at least a little bit like me &#8212; then you know exactly how effective  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Exercise (and cyborg gorillas)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As some of you may know, I&#8217;m a computer engineer by day (and a superhero by night, but that&#8217;s a different story). The life of a computer technician is filled with enriching opportunities in the areas of Sitting All Day, Not Moving, and Forgetting Why You Have Feet.
I only get one body in this life,  [...]]]></description>

		<title>You are not intelligently designed&#8230; yet&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Human beings still have wisdom teeth. Our spines aren&#8217;t very good at standing us up straight. Our recurrent laryngeal nerves make a biologically unnecessary trip down into the thorax before making their way back up our necks. And we&#8217;re woefully inefficient food processors, producing far more waste  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Act of Creation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time in the next few days, I&#8217;ll become a father again, and it&#8217;s got me thinking about the nature of creativity.
The universe is an inherently entropic system. Whether it eventually collapses back into the singularity from which it emerged, or expands continuously until the very atoms that  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enfranchise yourself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you currently live in the United States, then you probably pay your taxes. You probably obey traffic rules. You probably don&#8217;t spend all day breaking and/or ignoring the law or otherwise behaving in a manner wholly inconsistent with societal norms.
In other words, your behavior and actions are,  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Resuming radio silence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have a good night, everyone. And I do mean everyone. I&#8217;ll leave you all with this little-known fact: When I catch a cold, I usually lose my voice, but not all of my voice. Just the mid-range, where I usually talk. I&#8217;m left with a squeaky falsetto, a deep baritone, and nothing in between.
That&#8217;s  [...]]]></description>

		<title>[Politics] Temporarily ending radio silence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m home sick today, and [ljuser]floatingtide[/ljuser] is out with Beatrix at her cousin&#8217;s birthday party, so I figured I&#8217;d kick back, do a little writing, and relax.
Instead, the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear is on, and has sucked me in. So I will be spending the day being entertained  [...]]]></description>
