		<title>How Much Do You Know?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As stated earlier this year, I feel this web page is a great place to reveal my latest obsessions. It is now one of those times. The latest focus of my attention is Sporcle, a mostly user-generated database of timed quizzes.  The great thing about Sporcle is how easy it is to do one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thanksgiving in Walla Walla</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Thanksgiving, I decided not to go back to Chicago, mostly because flying back to the Midwest is a pain in the butt and sorta expensive as well. I like to travel within the time zone, to minimize those hassles. So when Bruce and Tina extended an invitation to me to visit for Thanksgiving, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 2nd Unboxing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As some of you might have noticed, I managed to score a Bag of Crap on Christmas last December. I was helped by the fact that they employed an &#8220;anti-cheat&#8221; mechanism. That is, if you just went to the site front page, it said it was sold out, but if you took the time to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Classic Cars(hows)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a man of obsession. Obsession over stupid things, mostly, but obsession nonetheless. My latest obsession has been Top Gear. I don&#8217;t claim to have discovered this show, of course; Top Gear is a British car show that&#8217;s been around for decades.  They had a reinvention of sorts at the turn of the century, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stranger in a Strange Land, November 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in November, I used up some of my vacation days and visited Japan. Not just on a whim, mind you; when I travel, I travel to visit people. In this case, it&#8217;s my good friends Yusuke and Tomoko, old compatriots from High School (Yusuke) and undergrad (Tomoko).  While I flew in from San [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Fine Art of Sarcasm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When delivering their distinct brand of satire, the folks at The Daily Show make heavy use of sarcasm, with devastating results. These two clips were from the January 5th show, and they are fantastic.

		<title>Plugging Gold</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t normally post stuff from the Colbert Report, because I don&#8217;t really have time (or make time) to watch both the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, so I&#8217;ve picked TDS, and rely on other websites to recommend any extraordinary segments. Talking Points Memo posted this one a week and a half ago, and [...]]]></description>

For all my loyal readers out there, I have a special treat for you, one that&#8217;s been on all your wishlists : a new post about a hiking trip I took in September!

		<title>Full of Sound and Fury</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Over the past weekend, I caught this video up on Fark&#8217;s video page. I had never seen it before, and I have to say, I find it positively entrancing. I watch once a day, often more.  It&#8217;s Italian entertainer Adriano Celentano&#8217;s Prisencolinensinainciusol , this video is from roundabouts 1973, and there are few things [...]]]></description>

		<title>There is Scientific Justification For My Prejudices</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, if you know me, you know that I don&#8217;t like Tom Brady. In fact, even if you don&#8217;t really know me, you might suspect that I hate Tom Brady, considering that I&#8217;ve made two posts consisting solely of the fact that I hate Tom Brady, on occasions where he has suffered devastating losses. 
So [...]]]></description>
