		<title>On Cool Mac stuff.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just updated my Cool Mac stuff page, a list of my favorite OS X programs.
I get weirdly nostalgic whenever I dig into that list; it reminds of launching this website and trying to figure out what I should use it for. The Cool Mac stuff page came just a couple months after the blog, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two wholly unrelated things I&#8217;ve been consuming over the past week:

Target Women is a segment on the Current TV comedy-news show infoMania. Host Sarah Haskins lampoons the bizarre and often nonsensical ways advertisers view women with shrewd observations and pitch-perfect delivery. Some favorites: birth control, laundry, Broadview security, yogurt.
ErfWorld is a webcomic about a universe [...]]]></description>

I guess their previous campaign wasn&#8217;t working out.

		<title>Paul Graham will use &#8220;xor&#8221; in a sentence.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been really into Paul Graham&#8217;s essays recently. They&#8217;re engaging, well-written, and charmingly hackerish. Some recommendations:

The Age of the Essay
What You Can&#8217;t Say
Is It Worth Being Wise?
Why Nerds are Unpopular
See Randomness
How to Do What You Love
Post-Medium Publishing

		<title>Changes in Snow Leopard that have actually affected my life.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pro:

OS uses less disk space
Marginally faster

Con:

Breaks Keywurl

So far, that&#8217;s a net negative. I used Keywurl constantly, so I&#8217;ve more than cancelled out any performance increases by repeatedly typing search requests into the address bar.

I have, however, been working &#8212; today is my one-year anniversary &#8212; and Harmonix is doing some awesome shit that you might be interested in.
The Beatles: Rock Band comes out three weeks from tomorrow. This is by far the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Online music projects.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two music projects I discovered recently that draw on the power of the internet:

In Bb 2.0 is a &#8220;collaborative music/spoken word project&#8221; from one Darren Solomon. It has aleatoric elements similar to Terry Riley&#8217;s In C, but uses a menagerie of pre-recorded YouTube videos instead of a highly interpretable score. It&#8217;s much easier to understand [...]]]></description>

		<title>EarthBound sighting.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was a link on Waxy tonight with this intriguing summary: &#8220;Justine Lai&#8217;s oil paintings of herself having sex with each US President.&#8221; (Very NSFW, naturally.)
The paintings are all well and good, but the coolest part of the site is the loading throbber that comes up when you click on an image. It only lasts [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows nostalgia.</title>

I have no idea how I first saw the wonderfully goofy cool.avi. Googling around I see that it was included with VidTest 1.0 and the Microsoft Multimedia Demo CD-ROM, but neither of those sound familiar. In any [...]]]></description>

		<title>On songwriting.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago my dad got me a Quamut guide on songwriting for Christmas. A section called &#8220;How to Write Lyrics for Songs&#8221; contains the following summary:

Pick a topic.
Choose a song form.
Choose a point of view.
Write an opening line.
Write the complete first verse.
Write the chorus.
Write the remaining verses.
Write the bridge (if applicable).
