		<title>Rush Proxy Bookmarklet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Graham Walker, a tech-savvy ER Resident who blogs over at The Central Line, recently posted a really nifty little solution to a problem that plagues higher education.  Many academic journals require subscriptions to view their contents, and although most school libraries offer proxy accounts to facilitate student access from home, these accounts are often [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ubuntu Artwork Pool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I created a Flickr account so that I could submit some of my more &#8220;artsy&#8221; photos to the Ubuntu Artwork pool.  In order to qualify for the pool, all photos must be licensed as CC-BY-SA or CC-BY, and all my photos are licensed CC-BY.  Ubuntu developers will be choosing photos from the pool [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ender&#8217;s Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ender&#8217;s Game is one of those books that I&#8217;ve been meaning to read for a few years now, and I just never made time.  It&#8217;s partly because I always imagined it was going to be too much sci-fi for me.  I&#8217;m not sure why I tend to shy away from sci-fi books because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dad&#8217;s Computer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My dad built a computer a few months ago.  He has been talking about building a new one for a few years now, so it was about time he got around to it.  He had always talked about building a computer that he use to record some of his music on and he [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sound of White</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first encounter with singer-songwriter Missy Higgins was so positive that I had to check out her debut album, The Sound Of White.  I have been eying this album for a while now, and I finally got it for Christmas this year.
I was turned on to this album after hearing All For Believing, Higgins&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Honeysuckle Weeks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I discovered The Submarines as many people did, even if they did not realize it.  Their music plays in nearly every iPhone commercial, namely the songs You Me and the Bourgeoisie and Submarine Symphonika.  I went in search of other music by The Submarines only to find that I liked a lot of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lost Symbol</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent the first week of my holiday break reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.  This novel follows a similar format to Brown&#8217;s previous Robert Langdon stories, The Da Vinci Code and Angels &#038; Demons.  I enjoyed both of those stories a lot, which made reading this latest installment a no-brainer.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Show your support</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Advertising is a huge business on the Internet.  Actually, advertising is huge just about everywhere.  
Some readers get annoyed by bloggers who use referral links in posts to promote products that will ultimately make them money.  They feel like the Internet should be free of ads, and in some ways they&#8217;re justified. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amazon MP3 on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on both my desktop and laptop.  When I went to buy an album on Amazon MP3, I remembered that Amazon only offers a 32-bit version of their MP3 downloader.  Unfortunately, there&#8217;s not a very intuitive way to install the Amazon downloader on a 64-bit system, and you [...]]]></description>
