		<title>Abusing Calvin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The false evolution debate is one thing I have a hard time ignoring.  I call it &#8220;false&#8221; because there really is no debate: evolution happened.  Yet there are people out there that continue to make a lot of noise and push a disturbing pseudo-scientific religious agenda in order to protect their theologically and [...]]]></description>

		<title>TAM6: Reflections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alright, it&#8217;s been far too long since my last TAM6 post, and I never wrapped things up.  I really enjoyed my time in Vegas, although I didn&#8217;t meet as many people as I had hoped.  I chatted with quite a few, but never really connected with them.  I also found that the [...]]]></description>

		<title>TAM6: Starting the second day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sitting at a table awaiting the beginning of the second full day of presentations.  Yesterday was really neat and I&#8217;m still pondering the heavy-science presentation by PZ Meyers.  He simply blew my mind with a brief introduction to molecular biology and the way a particular experiment mapped a genetic growth factor between [...]]]></description>

		<title>TAM6: P&#038;T answer questions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Penn and Teller kinda took the easy route and just did a fairly short Q&#038;A session.  The most surprising part was, of course, Teller&#8217;s voice.  For some reason I assumed he&#8217;d have a smaller more typical voice, but it is quite rich and radio-worthy.  The typical questions were asked, with a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>TAM6: After first presentations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m here in Vegas for TAM6, which is rolling along now.  The first day was just a few cocktails and paid sessions (which I skipped), but now we&#8217;re into the swing of the normal sessions and presentation.  Neil DeGrasse Tyson, billed as the keynote speaker, was fantastic.  Speaking in a much more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Helicopter madness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t even comprehend the reflexes and skill it takes to fly an RC helicopter like this.

		<title>Honor your father and mother</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ On Father&#8217;s Day I want to take a moment to do something a little odd on my blog.  Most of the time I talk only of myself and my experiences.  I tend to restrict myself in this way since I don&#8217;t want to assume that other people, particularly my friends, want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dethklok concert canceled due to fire.  Brutal.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mitch and I headed over to the Fillmore tonight to catch Dethklok, the most brutal band in (animated) metal.  When we got there, I saw people getting pushed out of the door instead of going in, and the line wasn&#8217;t moving.  Only a few minutes later, about six fire trucks showed up, including [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rhapsody Redux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Support is frustrating.  On-line chat support goes beyond that into the realm of &#8220;infuriating&#8221; by using even less equipped employees who are given little or no training and a click driven interface for providing robotic responses that are at their best ingenuous or, at their worst, simply insulting.  Rhapsody, which I love but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye, Bill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m horribly saddened at the passing of Bill McCauley.  I count him among my friends, and am very sad to see that he took his own life.
That really sucks, Bill.  I&#8217;ll miss you.
