		<title>John&#8217;s Side Project: Fire!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the last few weeks, John and his friend Roy have been working in their spare time on a neat physics demonstration to show off at the Texas A&#038;M Physics Festival this coming weekend.
If you know what a standing wave is, you&#8217;ve probably seen the classic demonstration with a vibrating string. But did you know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still Got It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my week for getting hollered at by guys in cars, it seems.
Saturday morning John and I were at our apartment-to-be (more on which later, if I remember) signing all the lease paperwork, when I stepped outside for a minute to double-check my license plate number. As I was walking down the sidewalk, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Commas Matter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While waiting in line at the UH Pharmacy, I noticed this handy tip on a pamphlet about preventing the spread of H1N1:

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you sneeze or use an alcohol-based sanitizer.

I spent the better part of a minute trying to remember if I&#8217;d heard anywhere that Purell was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mile 24</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Man, is this week dragging, or what? I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve spent a minute less in front of my computer than I would have otherwise, and if I did, it was because I was either playing taiko or sleeping. I probably did pay a little more attention in class, though, so that&#8217;s a plus. Still, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still Not Quite the Home Stretch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One and a half more days until I can step back into my online life. Like I said yesterday, if I do this again, I&#8217;ll fine-tune it to where I can exercise my self-discipline without becoming an internet hermit.
I guess it&#8217;s a lesson in how hooked I am on the instant-gratification, continuously-updated constant flow of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mile 16: The Doldrums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little over halfway through, I&#8217;m feeling pretty blah about this exercise. It&#8217;s a success in the sense that I haven&#8217;t been on any of the sites I used to spend time on for the past four days, but I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;ve gotten much extra work done in the meantime. The main goal, though, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twelve Miles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More than three days in, and I&#8217;m still on track. It helps that I&#8217;ve been keeping busy: last night we did a short interactive taiko show before Tao&#8217;s performance in Galveston, and today we had an extra long practice to prepare for our trip to Hidalgo next weekend.
As a result, I hurt. All over really, [...]]]></description>

		<title>I should really try this during NaBloPoMo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is it cheating if I use the time I would have spent listening to podcasts and spend it reading my own blog archives instead? Speaking of narcissism . . .
A fun thing I found: In one of my favorite posts from 2006, I managed to work in the phrase &#8220;Heaven forfend.&#8221; Ironically, of course. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Normally I would post this on Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know how sometimes you put off a big task for a really long time, but when you&#8217;re finally forced to start it, you realize that it&#8217;s actually kind of fun, and you wish you&#8217;d started it earlier? This is not like that. At all.
ALSO.
Space Law is like listening to five TED talks at once, [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Marathon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some people run 26 miles; I quit Facebook for a week. Sure, the running thing takes a lot of training and dedication, but you have to keep in mind that these are people who ENJOY running in the first place. I bet that gets you through the first ten miles, at least.
Here&#8217;s the thing: I [...]]]></description>
