		<title>The Typography of Greenwashing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Instead of watching House episodes all day like a normal person, I spent one of my vacation days making a video about the media practice of greenwashing.
According to the world&#8217;s only remaining viable encyclopedia, greenwashing is the &#8220;practice of companies disingenuously spinning their products and policies as environmentally friendly.&#8221;
I&#8217;m interested in the graphic design motifs [...]]]></description>

Faygo Rock n Rye soda exploding in a Last Stand sort of way inside Chuck&#8217;s motorcycle case
Blurting out &#8220;stranger danger!&#8221; when surprise-hugged by my friend Rayne in the subway
Getting my butt handed to me by the office Galaga machine

		<title>Librarian Avengers Stomp of Approval &#8211; Shelf Discovery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bad books aren&#8217;t worth talking about. Good books, however, should stand up and be recognized.
To that end, I invented a new thing that I&#8217;m going to act like I&#8217;ve been doing for ages: The Librarian Avengers Stomp of Approval. 
As you know, Librarian Avengers stomp around quite a bit, railing against things and waving our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Me, bouncing around onstage at an O&#8217;Reilly Conference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I spoke at OSCON Ignite, the evening entertainment bit of the O&#8217;Reilly Open Source Conference and the Google Awards.
Talks took the traditional Ignite format of five minutes, 20 slides. Slides auto-advance after 15 seconds, ready or not.

		<title>How to stop using paper towels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chuck works on motorcycles, and I&#8217;m a kitchen clean freak. We used to go through a shameful amount of paper towels. Like, buy in bulk, hate-the-earth, bulldoze-Costa-Rica amounts.
Then my friend Skud gave me a great idea. I cut up a cheap jersey sheet I had kicking around (those things pill up in about 5 washes, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I Skimmed Schmaltz, and was Rawked at by a Raven.

Raven with Sausages by quinet
The schmaltz came from a mess of chicken soup I made. A thick layer of chicken fat rose to the top overnight and was skimmed off and used to season the cat&#8217;s breakfast.

Two stupid girls have a hair-tearing fight on the bus
Liquid and curly fries fly everywhere
The guy in front of me puts up his arm, so I do too
The fighting high school girls roll out the door as it stops
