		<title>The Madness of James Joyce&#8217;s Finnegans Wake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That James Joyce wrote a book called Finnegans Wake was not new information to me, that knowledge seeped into my brain by happenstance years ago, but it was only just now that I learned it is a charmingly unreadable mess.  A friend suggested we read it together, hinting at its peculiar nature, and that seemed [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Candidates for the Stupidest Humans on Earth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just stumbled across an article on the Daily Mail (in the UK) about The Human Magnet, a mother who allegedly has a power to attract metal and set off nearby car alarms.  I thought it must have been an April Fool's Day story, but unless the Brits celebrate that day on the 22nd of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dangerous Driver</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I watched this guy a week or so ago drive down a major local street, Lincoln Blvd., right in front of me and he was clearly having trouble in some sense.  He couldn't seem to stay in his lane, instead gradually meandered back and forth, drifting as much as a foot or two outside of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vegetarian Dining Club Stats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Vegetarian Dining Club now was 505 members, so I decided to take a look at the membership roster and see just what stats I could extract from the membership data. Attendance Frequency The distribution of event attendees... 348 members have never come to an event. 158 members have come to at least one event. [...]]]></description>

		<title>My worst date&#8230; with Mel Gibson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This happened quite a while ago but something recently reminded me of it. I was set up on a date with a friend of a friend.  We'd exchanged a few emails and seemed to enjoy a similar turn of phrase.  I picked her up at her place, and the descent into lunacy began. A few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Osita&#8217;s Awesome Birthday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm not a big fan of anthropomorphizing pets.  Dogs is dogs, they ain't people.  Treating a dog like a person is unhealthy for the dog and crazy-making for the human. That said, a few years ago after I got my dog from the pound I guesstimated a birthday for her, and every year my computer [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Microcosmic Reason I Hate Apple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the perfect microcosmic example of my macrocosmic hatred of Apple's flawed, "We know better than our users." philosophy: If you type the possessive "its" on an iPhone you will see it converted to the possessive contraction "it's" unless you take the additional action of canceling the replacement. The iPhone isn't intelligently considering grammatical [...]]]></description>

		<title>Me, The Quasi-Statistical Serial Killer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of my year of mischief, perhaps soon to become an age of mischievousness,  I've adopted a policy of engaging in quasi-statistical serial murder. If second hand smoking kills, then the first hand smoker must be the killer.  To be fair it'd be more accurate to say the smoker is an attempted murderer.  It's [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Headphone Magic Trick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a real life magic trick happen to me today...  It was pretty neat!  I'll call it the "Re-Appearing Bose Earbud Trick". It will lose a lot in the retelling...  but here goes. The trick began last night when one of the rubber earbud caps came off my Bose headphones and disappeared.  Poof!  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things I Hate &amp; Love About Women: Volume XXIV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started to write a very short list of two or three semi-humorous, semi-curious things I look to avoid in women and it somehow morphed into a longer, stranger list which would surely suggest many a neurosis to a trained psychoanalyst.  Ah well...  If one such therapist is reading, enjoy, and tell me what I've [...]]]></description>
