		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m snipping this and posting it here just so I have a place to refer people when they ask, as they sometimes do, what the hell the appeal is of Twitter (for me, at least). This nails it:

		<title>yep, that about covers it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The RIAA says &#8220;MUSIC MUST NEVER BE AVAILABLE FOR FREE OR ARTISTS WILL NEVER MAKE A LIVING,&#8221; but what they really mean is &#8220;if people can download music for free, they&#8217;ll only pay the artists if they think their work is worth it, which means they won&#8217;t have to go through us, which prevents us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This summer, my college buddy Philip Haar will be riding his bike cross-country alongside his father to raise money for cancer research in honor of a family friend:
The scourge of cancer either has or soon will touch everyone&#8217;s life in a very personal way. We hope that by establishing the James D. Popp Student Research [...]]]></description>

		<title>transition time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just concluded a really amazing three-and-a-half-year phase of my life. When I blogged about starting my job at Hoover&#8217;s in June 2004, I really had no idea just how much I&#8217;d learn and how many amazing professional and personal relationships I&#8217;d develop.

		<title>uh, no, not exactly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Science reporting isn&#8217;t an exact, um, science.
In this article,&#8221;Japan Scientists Develop Fearless Mouse,&#8221; my jaw dropped when I read this:
