		<title>The Future for Home Prices</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The WSJ has a good article on real estate prices and includes three gems that show how Americans make bad decisions when investing:



In a poll of 2,000 adults, real-estate-data provider Zillow.com found that 61% believed the value of their home would either remain level or rise over the next six months.

6 months! Americans are nothing [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Microsoft Veteran Embraces Open Source</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John Markoff writes about an ex-Microsoft employee who has written a book about open source, what most Microsoft employees consider more evil than Satan, why it&#8217;s the future of software and why Microsoft is &#8220;toast&#8221;.  That&#8217;s hardly news.

Ultimately, he left because he was bored: &#8220;The amount I learned in my 11th year was much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thanksgiving 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a quiet Thanksgiving, just the four (that&#8217;s still weird to say) of us. I watched all three blow-out football games and tried to keep Havana and Hudson from bothering Gay in the kitchen. 



We sampled several beers that I&#8217;ve received from a beer-of-the-month club my brother gave me for Christmas last year and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hudson at 3 months</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today Hudson is 3 months old. He&#8217;s still a much easier baby than Havana was. He&#8217;s quiet and rarely cries (just like his dad). He can roll over when put down on his tummy and is patient as Havana pokes, prods and hugs him. He even sleeps through the night, i.e., 5 hours, on occasion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New Yorker has an article on craft beer, specifically on Dogfish Head:

&#8220;I looked around and saw three breweries basically ruling the United States,&#8221; he told me. All but one per cent of the beer sold in the U.S. was still made by Miller, Coors, and Anheuser-Busch, along with mid-sized and foreign breweries such as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Republican party: ship of fools</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Economist on why the Republican party lost. Their lack of ideas:

The Republicans lost the battle of ideas even more comprehensively than they lost the battle for educated votes, marching into the election armed with nothing more than slogans. Energy? Just drill, baby, drill. Global warming? Crack a joke about Ozone Al. Immigration? Send the [...]]]></description>
