		<title>Meditate on this</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A koan from Anton van Straaten:


The venerable master Qc Na was walking with his student, Anton.  Hoping to prompt the master into a discussion, Anton said &#8220;Master, I have heard that objects are a very good thing &#8211; is this true?&#8221;  Qc Na looked pityingly at his student and replied, &#8220;Foolish pupil &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fifty and then some</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So dchud demonstrated the right way to publish the list of shows you&#8217;ve seen, which I&#8217;d been dwelling on since Genie hit me on That Site I Hate with the recent meme.
Now I regret not having kept better track of dates and venues, and I wonder what shows I&#8217;ve forgotten altogether. Stream-of-consciousness order, not chronological [...]]]></description>

		<title>The three most grotesquely clichéd lines, given their context, in the TV series pilot I just watched (paraphrased lightly if at all)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Upon receiving a scientific explanation: &#8220;In English, Professor&#8230;&#8221;
Protagonist, being offered undesired help: &#8220;We aren&#8217;t going to be doing anything&#8230;&#8221;
Thwarted authority figure: &#8220;I&#8217;ll be watching you&#8230;&#8221;

		<title>Two weak analogies, and hating bad things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So after half-a-year being overwhelmed by the magnitude of the cross-country move and by life with the two small excellent tyrants we brought with us, I&#8217;m trying to be more civilized again, which means, y&#8217;know, communicating with humans. As I mentioned a bit ago, I&#8217;m pro-Twitter; Facebook, on the other hand, I well and truly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Email bankruptcy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People I worked with at the Library of Congress will recall that I ran around, during the last week of May, babbling &#8220;andy at boyko dot net&#8221; to anyone who would listen. The sad fact is, in the few months since that episode, I have been almost totally incapable of answering emails to that address, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Real America, and Fake America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A core Republican message, as far as I can interpret it:

Real America



Fake America



Also, I&#8217;m sick of laughing at these cretins; the joke isn&#8217;t funny anymore.

		<title>Rube Goldberg helps me read ext2 on Mac OS X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every now and again I find myself wanting to read an ext2/ext3-formatted disk from a Linux box on a Mac.  Once there was an OS X kernel module that sort of worked, in the sense that it often would mount an ext2 disk on OS X successfully, but the years have not been kind [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcode scanning for five-year-olds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My kid&#8217;s taking it to the next level, as far as tracking his reading habits on GoodReads.  All the typing of book titles was boring the young lad, though, and so we just dropped just under fifteen bucks on eBay, shipped, for one of them CueCat USB barcode scanners.  You may remember that [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone client for WordPress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s possible that the availability of an iphone client for WordPress will make me more likely to write here, in the same way that the availability of a saw in my garage will make me likely to build an armoire. Still, how can l keep from trying it?

		<title>Sunnyvale is sunny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I kept hoping that at some point in the first week in California we&#8217;d feel settled enough that I&#8217;d be able to report intelligibly.  Alas, no such luck.  But:

As of today, we&#8217;re finally out of a hotel, and into our rented house in Sunnyvale; our stuff arrived in too many boxes yesterday.
It&#8217;s really [...]]]></description>
