		<title>From the Shrinking Moon to the Cold Hard Truths</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, the Moon is shrinking! Granted, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images indicate it is by a mere 100 meters of diameter in something like 100-1000 million years. The damn thing is actually cooling off on the inside and getting scrunched up on the surface. Fascinating, isn&#8217;t it? However, what might turn out to be even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not the Bang We Were Looking For</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure which one I like more, a possibly immense new discovery that has the potential to fundamentally change our world-view, or a really solid thrashing of pompous-sounding but fundamentally flawed kooky &#8220;scientists&#8221; trying to displace one of the foundational theories of modern physics by using the very physics they are trying to show [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still Not Quite</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Surgery did throw me off rhythm for a while, but I can&#8217;t really blame the first-person encounter with stomach lacerations without anesthesia for the long silence. It has a lot more to do with the twin devils of work and procrastination, the main reasons why I&#8217;m not exercising regularly, eating healthy, completing that damn first [...]]]></description>

		<title>(Post * Post) Colonialities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will never trust a Boingboing! book recommendation again. The incessant recommendations for Doctorow&#8217;s work are understandable and three books later, I learned to just say no to the self-hyping and avoid the heaps of propaganda layered with shallow plot and even shallower characters. I was intrigued by how they hyped Sterling, again, understandable since [...]]]></description>

		<title>Je T&#8217;aime, Petite Croissant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like clockwork, every morning at 8:30, amid the wafting scent of olive ciabattas and glazed panini, Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin moan and groan as they engage in simulated sodomy. My representative sample is not exact and there was most certainly no double-blind study involved, since I don&#8217;t arrive to the bakery at the exact [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not a Sparrow Shall Fall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And wouldn&#8217;t you know it, nigh on four years ago, Brad Pitt purchased the rights for himself to play the central character of the Jesuit priest Emilio Sandoz. Having not read it at the time, I failed to notice this tidbit, but now cannot help but wonder how he will handle the surprise buttsecks bit. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life Without Walls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being an avid SF reader inundated with ideas of the singularity, of alternate planes and modes of existence, I frequently skip over seemingly more mundane cognitive shifts that, doubled-back upon, actually dig really, really deep into our preconceptions. For example, dwelling on the fact that potentially 63% of the total mass in the Universe might [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking the Gentle Approach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One intriguing perspective shift I was reminded of yesterday was that everything is an event. This does not mean that my having coffee this morning amounts to high drama ranking up there with The Ring Cycle (pick one) worthy of a rapt audience following every minute detail thereof, as many twitterinos seem to believe. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>I May Yet Live Forever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I refused to rip that last one out, despite stern admonishment from my General In Satan&#8217;s Army. They made me lose two, and to be honest, they were giving me hell back there, creating a nyarlathothepian gnarl of twisted flesh about them. I&#8217;m likely better of this way, though it did hurt like all [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Year We Make Contact</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When the dust settled after the New Year and Christmas frenzy, one of the things I noted is that there were a total of three greeting cards in my work email and two on my private account. Rewind to last year &#8211; all active inboxes are overflowing with kitchy sparkles and humorous photoshop collages. For [...]]]></description>
