		<title>The Edge: Annual Question &#8211; 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How is the Internet changing the way you think? You mean, other than turning us into mental hummingbirds, crazy for empty-calorie tweets and sugary serial blog links? Dave Barry probably said it best: The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, &#8216;people without lives.&#8217; We don&#8217;t care.

		<title>NYTimes: Hillary The Movie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The case, which arises from a minor political documentary called &#8220;Hillary: The Movie,&#8221; seemed an oddity when it was first argued in March. Just six months later, it has turned into a juggernaut with the potential to shatter a century-long understanding about the government&#8217;s ability to bar corporations from spending money to support political candidates.

		<title>MacPorts On Snow Leopard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you used MacPorts on Mac OS X (Leopard) and you went ahead with the Snow Leopard upgrade, not realizing that it would break MacPorts, then the next time you ran a port command, you probably got an error message like this: dlopen(/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib, 10): no suitable image found. Did find: /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writer Uninterrupted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most powerful people are on the manager's schedule. It's the schedule of command. But there's another way of using time that's common among people who make things, like programmers and writers. They generally prefer to use time in units of half a day at least. You can't write or program well in units of an hour. That's barely enough time to get started.]]></description>

		<title>The Big Takeover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, somebody (Matt Taibbi for Rolling Stone) explains A.I.G. and the financial crisis in plain English. It&#8217;s long and depressing, but worth the trip: So it&#8217;s time to admit it: We&#8217;re fools, protagonists in a kind of gruesome comedy about the marriage of greed and stupidity. And the worst part about it is that we&#8217;re [...]]]></description>
