		<description><![CDATA[The Moving Finger writes, and having writ, Moves on; nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line. &#8212; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Fitzgerald translation What we shall be is written, and we are so. Heedless of God or Evil, pen, write on! &#8212; The Rubaiyat of Omar [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dealing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Dealing with survival: If X is to survive, it is because X has mechanisms to provide for the necessities of survival: assembling and processing resources, waste disposal, defense from predation and parasitism, protection from environmental extremes, etc., commensurate to the dictates of the local ecology. Without these strategies, an entity its a flash in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Machete Country</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Instead of typing, I&#8217;m drawing little glyphs on the picture of a keyboard with the point of a finger. It&#8217;s still a fair bit slower than typing and stresses said finger a bit unnaturally. I could be faster with it. I can tell that. And more error-free. With practice. Maybe I&#8217;ll eventually replace my bluetooth [...]]]></description>

		<title>Science You Can Trust(tm)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you think you can stomach it, go visit the Conservapedia&#8217;s &#8220;Counterexamples to Relativity&#8221; page and have yourself a good skim. I&#8217;d open it in another tab or window so you can flip back and forth as necessary. Neither General nor Special Relativity are complete theories. They&#8217;ve never been presented as such by anyone who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Match</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How long has it been since you struck a match? Feel the rough, square-edged splinter of wood between the tips of your thumb-pad and your index and middle fingers. Close the box, hold it in your other hand, and press the sulfured tip of the match to the abrasive strip on the edge of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Wake for a Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ya&#8217;ll let me know when you&#8217;ve seen &#8220;Inception&#8221; so we can discuss it in detail. In the meanwhile, if you&#8217;ve found that you like discussions of how to know whether what you&#8217;re experiencing is real and whether it actually matters if it&#8217;s real or not, feel free to also watch &#8220;The Matrix&#8221;, &#8220;What Dreams May [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still busted.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been indulging my most horrible hobby lately: looking at all the busted things and wondering how to fix them. That obsession&#8217;s been at the core of every job I&#8217;ve had (at which I was successful, anyway), and even for my writing, because at the core of it, the problem I&#8217;ve been trying to fix [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s, um, not just about the oil.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Raw petroleum is slimy and icky and makes the fish taste funny. It&#8217;s pretty bad to have millions of gallons per day just gush up into the ocean and get things all messy and coat the animals and birds. But frankly, the massive petroleum spoogefest is nowhere near the worst part of the ongoing problem. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thursday Emu Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, the Thursday Emu Report has returned. Today&#8217;s feature is Louisiana chef Dale Bourgeois&#8217;s cookbook for the American Emu Association, largely to let you know that there is such a thing as the American Emu Association, and that they, in fact, have a cookbook. And possibly members. And probably lobbyists. More lobbyists than you, I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>
