		<description><![CDATA[In case you don&#8217;t have time to wade through the pages and pages being written about Google and Verizon&#8217;s net neutrality announcment, I&#8217;ve tried to sum it up here.

		<title>How the cloud calmed me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I spent the day trying to save my data from a dying hard drive and swap in a new one.  It all turned out successfully.  This is something I&#8217;ve done several times int he past, but this time I noticed one incredible difference from all my past experiences.

		<title>I name my gadgets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I referred to one of my laptops as &#8220;Starbuck&#8221; and the topic of naming your gadgets came up.  I do it in the grand tradition of naming servers or printers or such, just to make it easy to know which device I&#8217;m talking about.  I generally use my default &#8220;stuffed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Distributism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading a bit about Distributism, a &#8216;third-way&#8217; of thinking about economics. It is different from Socialism or Capitalism in that it discourages large accumulations of property (not capital), but encourages private property in as many hands as possible. G.K. Chesterton summarized it as &#8220;Too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but [...]]]></description>

It looked cool, and Ed explained in an enclosed note, that it was the tale of a hacker, Kevin Phenicle, who was sort of a compilation of many hackers including [...]]]></description>

		<title>Literary tastes don&#8217;t change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just ran across a piece of paper with a list of the books I read for the summer reading program at Greenville Public Library in 1980. I was surprised how little my tastes have changed. There&#8217;s a nice mix of biographies, mysteries, paranormal topics, science, geekiness, history, and sports.  Here&#8217;s a list.
ESP &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>The phases of social debate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Follow this trail of the debate of sociological ideas and jump on at the beginning of each phase with a column, posting, speech, etc. You want to be able to claim to be the first to identify each trend (even if you weren&#8217;t).  Examples are in parentheses.

		<title>The Geek Universe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about the kind of content I like to cover/research/discuss and started making a map in my head about it. Here&#8217;s what I came up with, including a description of each category and some examples. The overarching theme is that it&#8217;s all geek/nerd content. So I like to think of it [...]]]></description>

But one of their songs that remains a favorite to this day is &#8220;Subatomic Girl&#8221;. It is a brilliant masterpiece of atomic physics puns.

		<title>Change of dependence day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the United States celebrates the declaration of its independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, I have, as I often do, reviewed the Declaration of Independence to see how much of it seems to apply to the federal government today.
Some things such as taxation without representation, quartering of troops in private residence and such [...]]]></description>
