		<title>Bad Monkeys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read Matt Ruff&#8217;s book Bad Monkeys today &#8211; man that is good stuff. Recommended. 
There&#8217;s a lot I appreciated: the wit, the narrative drive and how the story is honed down into something approaching a shaped charge.

		<title>Yup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;If we had signed to Gold Mountain management, or if we had signed with Geffen, maybe Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain sells 750,000 copies instead of 250,000 copies. But it was really just the difference between being Pavement or being Weezer,&#8221; Malkmus says. &#8220;I never had a great deal of confidence in my ability to write [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh future, and the measurements of Killer Loop Coup glasses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a pair of Killer Loop Coup sunglasses way back when, and they fit amazingly well, I saw well in them, and then someone stole them, and ever since I&#8217;ve been burning through knock-offs, being disappointed in new ones, and fighting the temptation to buy a used pair off eBay for $200.
So I&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

		<title>The year in gaming for a really jaded gamer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So! Here was my year, essentially, as I finally gave up on PC gaming.
Persona 4. Times a lot. I very nearly played it twice. It&#8217;s so great. If this had come out on the Wii, say, it might be the game of the year on that console. It&#8217;s funny, cool, it&#8217;s sooooo Japanese and weird, [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;d say art is subjective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[But then I&#8217;d have to talk about what art is.

		<title>The state of Mac gaming, frustration restated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been interested in the state of Mac gaming for obvious reasons, and found this article by Akela Talamasca, at Big Download:
At the same time, the actual process of coding for the Mac hasn&#8217;t been an open road, either. Apple is notorious for keeping an iron grip on the computer&#8217;s innards, insisting that developers jump [...]]]></description>
