		<title>a new site</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick update&#8230; I&#8217;ve decided to change the format of this site, to put more emphasis on ways to get in touch with me, and to highlight some things I&#8217;ve done. I&#8217;ve also wanted to share some of my music again, so that takes a more prominent role. This conveniently takes attention away from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cautious Optimism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times has an interesting interactive feature on their website today. It asks the simple question &#8220;How do you feel about the economy?&#8221; and lets visitors enter a word of their choice or choose one from a list.

		<title>And Now that Earth Week is Over&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this past week, I&#8217;ve come across a number of articles across the blogosphere on the merits of Earth Day.

		<title>I Wish This Was Satire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up at Portfolio Magazine, is one of the most&#8230; um&#8230; disturbing pieces I have read in a long while. It is called Confessions of a TARP Wife.
I wish this piece was satire. I wish I had read it in the Onion, and not in a magazine that reports on the world of finance. I would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d kick this off with a good find via the people at the GOOD magazine website (see original post). They&#8217;ve found and posted a graphic that illustrates how, at current rates of consumption, many of the world&#8217;s raw materials have reserves that will only last us anywhere from one decade to several.
