		<title>A Brain In The Rear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From The Greatest Show On Earth by Richard Dawkins (thanks, Blair):
Behold the mighty dinosaur,
Famous in prehistoric lore,
Not only for his power and strength
But for his intellectual length.
You will observe by his remains
The creature had two sets of brains –
One in his head (the usual place),
The other at his spinal base.

		<title>A Response To &#8220;All These Earthquakes&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[@geologynews wanted to know where he could find &#8220;a list of all earthquakes from 2010 (say, &#62;M5.0+), not just from the past week or month.&#8221;  At the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Earthquake Browser, of course!

		<title>This Week In The Fight For Digital Culture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much in the way of interesting and infuriating has gone on this week in the areas of intellectual property, privacy, digital rights, open source and Googlization.

		<title>So Long, Marianne</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Adrastos has the right idea with his Saturday Morning Video posts.  YouTube and a cup of coffee. Not bad at all.

But they don’t call it terrorism. That [...]]]></description>
