		<title>Copyright Holders Want the Benefits of Sharing Without Sharing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[YouTube accuses Viacom of copyright hypocrisy:

For years, Viacom continuously and secretly uploaded its content to YouTube, even while publicly complaining about its presence there. It hired no fewer than 18 different marketing agencies to upload its content to the site. It deliberately &#8216;roughed up&#8217; the videos to make them look stolen or leaked. It opened [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Rogue: An American Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I really really liked Palin&#8217;s book.  It strips away a lot of the absurd layers that have been wrapped around her by the media and the intelligentsia, and restores her to the common-sense, unadorned &#8220;hockey mom&#8221; persona that so captivated people back in the summer of 2008.
This isn&#8217;t going to be much of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tickling Lama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brian Palmer, Slate:

&#8220;The current Dalai Lama is a professed tickler, often using it as a handshake substitute. (He even tickled Archbishop Desmond Tutu during a procession to distract him.)&#8221;

		<title>Esther, Welcome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Esther Jieyou Liu / 刘界悠 arrived this morning, weighing in at a little over 7 pounds.

Mom and baby are both doing well.
The little tiger is born on Purim.  This wasn&#8217;t planned, but it certainly fits her name well.  Perhaps someone up there approves  
There&#8217;s still a lot to do, but I&#8217;m going [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Anthrax Mailer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[F.B.I. Concludes Investigation in Fatal Anthrax Mailings: 

The report disclosed for the first time the F.B.I.’s theory that Dr. Ivins embedded in the notes mailed with the anthrax a complex coded message, based on DNA biochemistry, alluding to two female former colleagues with whom he was obsessed.
The report described how an F.B.I. surveillance agent watched [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Tax Laws and Programming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is said that the pilot who crashed into the Austin IRS building did it in part because of anger over Section 1706 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (see here and here).  In essence, that law stripped the so-called &#8220;self-employed consultants&#8221; &#8212; engineers, designers, drafters, computer programmers, systems analysts &#8212; of independent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mousepath, 24 Hours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anatoly Zenkov&#8217;s mouse movement tracking program has been making the rounds in the tech press.
Here&#8217;s my mouse path for 24 hours (from 11:30 last night to 11:30 tonight).  I didn&#8217;t really use the computer that much: some edits to a story, a little web browsing, some image editing.  Note that the program only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheaper by the Dozen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I first read this book, an account of how motion-study expert Frank &#38; Lillian Gilbreth (really the first management consultants) raised their 12 children, in a Chinese translation when I was very young.  I remember loving it back then.  Encountering it again now in the English original, I have to say I prefer [...]]]></description>
