		<title>Killing time at the airport</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Things I like about Buenos Aires:

	Coffee comes in small cups. Very small.
A t-bone steak costs about a dollar. And it&#8217;s better than any 30-dollar-steak in Minnesota.
My grandma&#8217;s home&#8217;made gnocchis. From scratch.
The way the subway rocks and sways and wants you to sleep.
It&#8217;s normal to have dinner after 10. The restaurants are full at midnight and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fame and obscurity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Valentine&#8217;s day: I was at the Target Center in Minneapolis for a Timberwolves game against the slumping Seattle Supersonics. We got better-than-usual seats in a package deal that included a $30 gift card to a fancy pretend-italian restaurant whose chef must have just moved up from Denny&#8217;s or Perkins.

	We sat right above the tunnel where [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hypocrites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Earlier this week I asked:
&#8220;What&#8217;s the threshold for igniting this kind of outrage in the Muslim world? These cartoons were first published five months ago in a Danish newspaper with a circulation of 150,000. What if they had first been published on my blog, circulation 17? Is there a magic number of people a cartoon [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;Me Mi Mohamed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Some things to think about:

	1. How many people would have ever seen the cartoons if there hadn&#8217;t been any protests? How many people have seen them precisely because of the protests? Was this the intended effect? (here are some of the offending cartoons, if you haven&#8217;t seen them)

	2. What&#8217;s the threshold for igniting this kind [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to make your Web site visitors mad at you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Do what SportsIllustrated.com does; insert a loud, annoying streaming ad down at the bottom of the page (under the fold), and have it autoplay, so that when it starts, it&#8217;s impossible to figure why or how your computer is blasting noise.

	Then, just for kicks, make it play on every page of the site, even if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tapeman says &#8220;Eat Me!!!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Got bored yesterday watching a rerun of Desperate Housewives and decided to take my own advice and make my own clothes. Here&#8217;s a shirt I&#8217;m buying (and building) at Spreadshirt, because I&#8217;d actually want to wear it.

	And hey, if I can wear it, maybe you want to wear it too. So here you go (click [...]]]></description>

		<title>Colibri - Quicksilver for Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	If you&#8217;re lucky enough to be on a Mac, then you&#8217;ve probably had the pleasure of using Quicksilver, an application launcher, document searcher, and general computing-life enhancer.

	Well, I just found Colibri, an application for Windows that does many of the same things. It makes launching an application as easy as typing the first few letters [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kobe videos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	It&#8217;s been a while since my last basketball post, but the unlikely event of one man scoring 81 points in 42 minutes deserves some ink, even from me.

Here&#8217;s video of all 81 of Kobe&#8217;s points, condensed down to three minutes. Honestly, I&#8217;m shocked at how quiet the crowd sounds, although it&#8217;s possible most of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Google Got Me Lost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	A lesson in trusting computers: don&#8217;t trust them. As I learned the hard way yesterday, if you&#8217;re not willing to do a small amount of human thinking, you&#8217;re at the mercy of a machine, and the machine is not always as smart as you think.

	Case in point: I had a meeting with my sister last [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raising Cain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	America&#8217;s boys are in trouble.  They are the most violent in the industrialized world.

	Surprised? I didn&#8217;t think so. It shouldn&#8217;t come as a shock to anyone that American boys are in crisis. For years now we&#8217;ve seen the statistic; lower grades, lower graduation rates, higher crime rates &#8211; than girls.

	So when I caught this [...]]]></description>
