		<title>Tomorrow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my new favorite books is &#8220;5&#8220;, by Dan Zadra. It&#8217;s a great book for any dreamer who hasn&#8217;t yet gotten around to doing. The book isn&#8217;t just meant to be read, it&#8217;s filled with questions and activities designed to help figure out what you want to do over the next five years of [...]]]></description>

		<title>(Just Like) Starting Over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m committed to keeping a blog, but I&#8217;m dissatisfied with the way my blog is set up, and the content I currently have isn&#8217;t a best reflection of what I really want to talk about. I&#8217;m going to be re-doing the blog again and I hope bring it more in line with my real passions: [...]]]></description>

		<title>RSS: not dead. More like Doritos.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sam Diaz over at ZDNet recently posted his death knell for RSS, claiming that it was &#8220;a good idea at the time, but there are better ways now&#8221;: The truth of the matter is that RSS readers are a Web 1.0 tool, an aggregator of news headlines that never really caught on with the mainstream [...]]]></description>

		<title>The iPhone is beautiful.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After two years without a data smartphone, I finally took the plunge and bought an iPhone. I couldn&#8217;t be happier with my purchase! I was very sad to leave Verizon, but I am so glad with what I can do. In fact, I am writing this on it right now. When I went out for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Credit Reports: Navigating a Horrible System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Image via Wikipedia Even in the best financial times, knowing your credit score and what&#8217;s in your credit report is sound practice. Unfortunately, the three credit reporting bureaus make it just about impossible to attain your credit information, especially if you&#8217;re a young, mobile individual: the type of person who most needs to know their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drug Compliance Genius</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think Steven Leavitt (of Freakonomics) best distills this idea to its very core. &#8220;So if you take the drug and pee on a special piece of paper, a secret message appears. If you don’t take the drug, you can pee on it all you want, but it will not reveal the secret message.&#8221; I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Children and finding tasks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The graph above appears in a post over at Cognitive Daily. Basically, the colored columns for each age group correspond to three different &#8220;finding&#8221; tasks associated with objects underneath cups. In all three, a reward is hidden under one of two cups, and then the cups are hidden from view while the table rotates 180 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Laundryroom Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw this list of Twitter uses the other day; kudos to Olin for the top spot (though the list might be unranked) for the 3rd-Floor West Hall laundryroom Twitter agent. Anyone familiar with this know how it works? I don&#8217;t remember how the LaundryView system works, but if I recall correctly, there&#8217;s e-mail functionality. It&#8217;d [...]]]></description>
