		<title>Why books are better than e-readers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Physical books are better than &#8220;licensed e-reader material&#8221;. Let me explain why.

		<title>Two insightful articles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the midst of all the idiots clamoring for every nuclear power plant in the world to be dismantled in favor of smoldering coal plants, I thought I&#8217;d post some sanity.

		<title>Aftermath</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to sum up what I&#8217;ve been able to figure out from watching news reports, reading press releases, and talking to people over the past few days.

		<title>Finding furniture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s like this for anyone else, but three months out I still have a house with plastic tubs of stuff stacked in rooms and very little furniture. Most people&#8217;s reaction to this is, &#8220;Well go to Target and buy a kitchen table, it isn&#8217;t that hard.&#8221; Is everyone else really content [...]]]></description>
