		<title>Lie like nobody&#8217;s listening. Steal like nobody&#8217;s watching. Grow like you&#8217;re too big to fail.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dedicated to the creators of the need for an #OccupyWallStreet. For most of my life, I&#8217;ve lived with self-doubt about my capabilities and how to use them. I&#8217;ve been timid and held myself back in life because of it. I always thought that I should do the right thing. Of course everyone says one should [...]]]></description>

		<title>Verizon: Complete and Utter #customerservicefail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[3 days ago, I walk in to the storefront at 139 5th Ave. (Manhattan) to buy a headset for a friend&#8217;s phone. No one pays attention to me. I eventually flag someone down. He goes off and retrieves three headsets (Why are they not on display?) for me to choose from that should fit the [...]]]></description>

		<title>New York City Water: Hot and Cold Running Krill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New York City is just one surprise after another. A couple of days ago the reverse osmosis system I&#8217;d installed two months ago in our apartment stopped delivering water. Since the manual said there should be no maintenance for 6 months, I called the manufacturer&#8217;s help line. The woman on the phone had me swap [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Rise and Fall of Brewing: Beer, Naiveté, and Recovered Integrity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just found a couple of old letters, written as letters to the editor of the magazine Zymurgy. Here they are, representing a heady time in my life and a heady time in the early micro-brewing industry. Read them both, first the 10/8/1995 letter and then the 5/20/1996 letter: &#8212;&#8212; October 8, 1995 Letters to [...]]]></description>

		<title>After the Move to the Big Apple, It&#8217;s all Happenin&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, the first few days were spent unpacking boxes, getting at least the kitchen together first, dealing with the animals and their reaction to the new home. Put some plants in the ground in the garden so that they&#8217;d survive their transport. Esther was back home, finishing things up at the house and running a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Move to New York?: One Answer, My Answer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last May there came via email an internal posting for a job a &#8220;data analyst&#8221; within JSTOR. I looked at it because it was based in New York. Esther and I have been talking for years about moving from Ann Arbor because. I looked at the job description and though the project was a bit [...]]]></description>

It was now Sunday and, after the fiasco and near disaster of the Ann Arbor piano loading, we decided to use Real Piano Movers to unload it here. I find out about Ilya from Esther&#8217;s email at about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Century-old Color Photographs and Cognitive Dissonance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Boston.com Big Picture blog has a subset of the photographs by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii. Remarkable. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/08/russia_in_color_a_century_ago.html Funny how a familiar technology in an unusual context can produce such an odd impression. It&#8217;s a very strange and rather hard to explain feeling that comes from breaking the unconscious linking, born of experience, of &#8220;past&#8221; to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Helados Scannapieco &#8230; Ice Cream To Die For</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Helados Scannapieco is the place for ice cream if you are in Buenos Aires. Forget the Freddo and Filippo chains, forget all the trendy, cute heladerías. Just go to Helados Scannapieco at Avenida Córdoba 4826. It&#8217;s been there since 1938, just 17 short years after my aunt was born. Perhaps she remembers it opening. In [...]]]></description>

I knew about the Italian and Shakespearian sonnet forms, and about the volta and the quatrains and the couplet and so on. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Telecommuting from Buenos Aires</title>

I try to go in February and March to escape the bleak Michigan winter and store up some BTUs in the dead of a Buenos Aires summer. I usually like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fischbein at the Palais de Glace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw the Fischbein exhibit at the Palais de Glace in Buenos Aires. The exhibit was big enough to fill the entire first floor of the Palais de Glace. See http://www.palaisdeglace.org/exposiciones/2009/01/flischbein/fischbein.html The 3 pieces on that web page are about 3&#215;4 feet. There were much smaller boxes and much bigger. Probably about 50 pieces in all, [...]]]></description>

		<title>WunderRadio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the main reasons I bought an iPhone was because I figured I&#8217;d be able (eventually) to listen to my favorite Buenos Aires-based radio stations, or any others for that matter. Still surprised Apple has restricted the iPhone&#8217;s Safari by not providing access to video, Flash, certain kinds of audio, etc. In any case, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Michigan Environmental Council&#8217;s take on Ann Arbor&#8217;s Land Use</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we know, the so-called &#8220;Skyline&#8221; high school is a reality as will be the land use ramifications brought on by a school administration stronger than a city&#8217;s master plan or leadership, and by a sleeping community that only pretends to care about things environmental. It&#8217;s way too late now for Ann Arbor, but it [...]]]></description>

		<title>(part of) the Whole Truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, the latest Ann Arbor Public Schools spending of taxpayer money is a campaign to ask for taxpayer money. The flyers came in the mail. One  implores us to vote on May 6th to give this dysfunctional administration more money to waste. The other talks about &#8220;exceptional Accomplishments.&#8221; In the blurb about &#8220;Accessible Schools,&#8221; it [...]]]></description>
