		<title>Joss Whedon on Multiple Popes and a New Place for the Holy Land</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So Joss Whedon continues to amuse and impress me when I see him talking. Here he is accepting the Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism award. Direct link for the feedreaders. A couple of things. First, I understand how he can pooh-pooh Dawkins and Hitchens, since to him that&#039;s old news. To me, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>iTunes, I Can&#039;t Wait to Fire You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so iTunes is really starting to get on my nerves. It was already on my nerves because it seems to be incredibly slow. Even on my new spiffy mega-mondo desktop it feels bloated&#8211;it&#039;s got that bad-comedian-in-a-fat-suit slowness going on. I was all excited at the prospect of a 64-bit iTunes&#8230;but after running it for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mike Rowe Addresses Questioning and Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really like this video from Mike Rowe, host of the show Dirty Jobs. Apart from this being a sneaky way of getting me to watch his show (because after seeing this I just like the guy in general), it addresses a lot of the stuff I like. Here, watch the damn thing first so [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Not Get Followed Back on Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve decided to take on a liberal policy of following people back on Twitter. I look at this way: if you think you want to listen to me go on and on about stuff, then I figure I should return the favor. It&#039;s just being nice. However, I don&#039;t just blindly follow everyone back. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should You Get Your Own Site?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#039;ve tried to think of things I&#039;ve been asked more than once. And one is the title there: everybody and his brother Simon, King of the Witches, has a website or blog or whatnot that they own. Their own domain, their own corner of the Web. Do you need one too? The answer is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter: RT vs. Via</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a brief thing regarding this. For those of you who don&#039;t use Twitter, you may find this even more boring than those of us who do. But here goes. There is a term in Twitter called &#034;retweet&#034; or &#034;RT&#034; for short. It&#039;s the only time I try to use the term &#034;tweet,&#034; meaning &#034;to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Online Advertising: Waiting to Evolve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bill C. sent me this link a few weeks ago and I&#039;ve meaning to blog about it. Go check it out. I think he&#039;s got some good points there, specifically as to what advertising is when you boil it all away. It&#039;s an interruption wanting to sell us one thing when we&#039;re in the middle [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do I Have to Use Twitter?  No.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A local restaurant we frequent asked its frequent fliers if they should get involved with Twitter. And I hear this question a lot: Twitter, do I hafta? Of course, people are getting on Twitter and using it because it&#039;s achieved critical mass and it&#039;s Simply What You&#039;re Supposed To Do rather than understanding what it&#039;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Outlook 2007, To Use a Modern Parlance, Exhibits Searchfail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here&#039;s a free idea for you: there&#039;s money to be made in somebody who can make a full-on search function that works as a no-brainer, quickly addresses any issues or bugs, and doesn&#039;t scare the shit out of you with their privacy policy. Basically, if there is somebody that does this, they need to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now What?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi. And welcome back. So here&#039;s the shot: you might have noticed that the website went into a bit of hibernation there. And the reason was simple: I had no idea what to put on here. In an effort to boost content on Needcoffee and boost the audience for that content, most of my stuff [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amazon MAB Replacement?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really wish there was a replacement for the Amazon MAB tool. Why is it so goddamn difficult to ping Amazon and collect an ASIN? You would think there would be a Greasemonkey script that would do this, or at least some way of pinging AWS to do it. I would barter free DVDs with [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Nice Coda to the Trip</title>

And over the PA I hear (paraphrased) &#034;Folks, I know there&#039;s a lot of people in the gate area waiting for standby seats. And I want to let you know that the chances are slim to none that that&#039;s gonna happen. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The New Yorker Hotel Business Center</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This promises high speed internet. This connection is about as high speed as me, in full snow ski wear, running through neck deep Jello while angry ferrets try to gnaw the eyebrows from my forehead. In other words, it&#039;s utter shite. So much so that I&#039;m blogging this on my phone because it is faster. [...]]]></description>
