		<title>Century-old Color Photographs</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 &#8220;black and white&#8221;. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Me veo (written circa 1995)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Me veo sonriendo
en los juegos de palabras
en los primeros momentos de nuestro amor
en la cara de mi hijo.
Me veo muriendo
en los recuerdos de mi abuelo
en el hígado de me papá
en los ojos en el espejo
en la cara de mi hijo.

		<title>Helados Scannapieco &#8230; helado 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>

		<title>Poetry and Arithmetic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My brother just sent me a link to, and I just read: &#8220;Chaos in Fourteen Lines&#8221;: Reformations and Deformations of the Sonnet by Annie Finch
For the most part I like the article. I knew about the Italian and Shakespearian sonnet forms, and about the volta and the quatrains and the couplet and so on. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Telecommuting from Buenos Aires</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I travel to Buenos Aires just about every year to visit family and to take in one of the more interesting cities in the world. 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 to [...]]]></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, perhaps [...]]]></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 says, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chiste</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My 96-year-old aunt, Virucha, told me this as we walked around the block in Buenos Aires that was once the quinta of the Pagliere clan (the block surrounded by Corrientes, Sarmiento, Gascón, and Acuña de Figueroa). In front of my cousin&#8217;s shop was a sign that said something like: &#8220;No dejar canastos en la acera [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pioneer Next Year &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the AAPS gets so-called security cameras installed at Pioneer (because they can, because the community lets them), perhaps they should move on to terahertz cameras. Read about them here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7287135.stm

		<title>Buenos Aires de nuevo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here in Buenos Aires again, the land of the unexpected adventure and an anarchistic everyday life, on a nearly annual family visit cum winter escape. Heat, sun and chaos of possibility to escape cold, cloud-locked Ann Arbor with its dual self-delusions of cultural diversity and progressiveness.
Staying at a fantastic find of an old apartment in a casa [...]]]></description>

George Fornero left quite a legacy to this town. And everyone on the board helped him do it. And almost everyone in the community let him do it.

Let&#8217;s not talk about the financial, ecological and demographic fiasco that is the new high school and the concocted lies and painted smiles that backed it up.
But let&#8217;s do talk [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vote as Symbol &#8211; Rationalization as Choice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently while checking out at the grocery store, the cashier began a nearly sub-vocal, somehow laid-back diatribe about how one shouldn&#8217;t vote for a person simply because they&#8217;re black or a woman. Hmm. So that&#8217;s what this guy, and all the people he is representative of, think. A nice example of how folks lie to [...]]]></description>
