		<title>The Last Question and WordPress Combine for Unsettlingness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just re-read Asimov&#8217;s &#8220;The Last Question&#8221; after having lunch with my folks.  It&#8217;s probably my favorite story from one of my four night-stand mainstays (Isaac Asimov&#8217;s Science Fiction Treasury, that also includes &#8220;Flowers for Algernon&#8221; which I cannot assign enough importance to).
When I get back to my computer and hop over to my [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Virtua Fighter 4 ruined fighting games for me.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Specifically Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution, but that difference isn&#8217;t important.
To get something out of the way quickly: I&#8217;ve never been good at fighting games.  My ascent up the playstyle ladder usually stops around &#8220;find a couple moves that work and stick to them&#8221;.  This isn&#8217;t through lack of desire to be &#8220;good&#8221; at fighters.  Before [...]]]></description>

		<title>Playing with Wolfram&#124;Alpha</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My life expectancy (based on gender, nationallity, and current age) is 76.42 years&#8230;  that gives me until until Monday, June 18, 2063, which is 74 days after the Vulcans make first contact.
While it does a lot of neat things with one piece of information: a name, a date, some math, it doesn&#8217;t seem to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where did this thing come from?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Upgrading to the latest WordPress has introduced the &#8216;Â&#8217; character into a number of posts.  As I have no idea why this happened and my phpMyAdmin-fu is weak, this fix will have to wait for a while.
EDIT: Just fixed it today after a rather simple find-and-replace on the wp_posts table.  (Export -&#62; Do Notepad++ [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Toys!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just added a couple of new plugins to the site: Twitter Tools and WordPress Mobile Edition.
Twitter Tools is pretty slick.   Right now I have it set-up to post a daily digest of my Tweets (see default version here) and also allow me to update Twitter when I make a new blog post.   I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>GDP grows (slightly) as a result of falling dollar.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes folks, economics does work out.  Exports Help Economy to Modest Growth, from the NYT.
I just find it hilarious that people fail to understand that a falling dollar makes our exports more attractive.  That of course helps close our insanely-high trade defecit and guess what, helps the economy.
It&#8217;s just like China&#8230; except without the artificial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Secretary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I just watched Secretary (on the prompting of f13) and&#8230; I really don&#8217;t know what to think.  Well, outside of realizing that &#8220;Yes folks, James Spader can get more creepy.&#8221;
I liked it quite a bit though, I must say.

		<title>Upgrades&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just upgraded to WP 2.5 today (which is like two weeks late, heh).  You also may have noticed the new theme.  I was looking though WowAceUpdater for a couple mod modules and stumbled upon a mod called ClassButtons and found the author&#8217;s page and wanted the theme (and header) ASAP.
I still need to find a [...]]]></description>
