		<title>Newly formed: an opinion on Mars exploration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit, until this week, I had not had strong opinions one way or the other on the exploration of Mars.
After reading Warren Ellis&#8217;s mini-essay on the subject, Bending Mars, my opinon has been formed. Prior to this, I was intrigued by the robot exploration of Mars, but really just did not see [...]]]></description>

		<title>The gorgeous hubris of the young or the wacked out craziness of the millenial?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Want to start by saying that I am really not a Dilbert fan. Dilbert&#8217;s cube farm cynicism gets me down; it tastes a little too much of bitter, washed up programmers and the hordes of Christmas sweater wearing older ladies that surround them.
There is something sad to me about the people that read it religiously on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who tests the old red wine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People go on and on about how all relationships have one person who kills the bugs and one person who doesn&#8217;t. I think that they are missing the real divisions of labour:
Who tests the old red wine to see if it is still drinkable?
Who check the  milk to see if it chunky?
Who cleans the garbage [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crypto Produce Placement on Top Chef</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been watching Top Chef&#8217;s season 4. I don&#8217;t watch reality shows. I never quite saw the point. Top Chef though has always resonated with me. Partially because I like the collision of craft, art, theory, spectacle, and business that the chefs have to deal with.
Sounds familiar?
My reality TV guilt justification out of the [...]]]></description>

 Saw that Google has connected their docs application to the various blog APIs, allowing you to publish from Google Apps to your blog, and figured I should check it out.

		<description><![CDATA[Was at the Fredericksburg Trade Day yesterday with my mum (who was visiting from Vancouver), my wife, and pataboy.
I stopped to get some a beer and some bbq at a shack on the grounds. They took my name so that they could let me know when my food was ready. I was standing there in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many times has this happened to you?
You are in a coffee shop/bar/store/restaurant and heard some great music and wanted to know the name of the song, the name of the band, or the album it is play on?
How many times have you stood in line or hung around long enough to get someone&#8217;s attention [...]]]></description>

		<title>What a tangled Web we weave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Earlier this week, I spent some time reading this article, A Tangled Tale, about a study some mathematicians physicists have been conducting to determine the physics of random knot tying. They identified 14 one-loop tangles and at least 7 2 two-loop tangles. I ran across this over at o&#8217;Reilly Radar.
Little did I know that I [...]]]></description>
