		<description><![CDATA[Short post:) I&#8217;m a language geek and I&#8217;ve been re-watching the mytharc episodes from X-Files. I noticed near the end of 4&#215;09 (&#8220;Terma&#8221;), Peskow says something in Russian when he sneaks up behind Scully that the unofficial transcript (there are no subtitles) hears as &#8220;sur posidive&#8221; and they translate as &#8220;at last&#8221;. I speak enough [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent a great part of the last 24 hours trying to chase down a couple of memory leaks in a javascript project I&#8217;m working on. After much hair-pulling, a couple of observations (and no more memory leaks) have resulted: 1. jQuery&#8217;s element creation guides leave a lot to be desired. On their official site, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What fascinates me about the ending of ME3 isn&#8217;t so much the fan rage (the ending was a blatant rip-off of the Matrix, Deus Ex, Battlestar Galactica, god knows what else) as the fact that reviewers are so intent on pretending that the ending was some sort of literary or artistic triumph and that the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking about the whole notion of &#8220;protest&#8221; lately &#8211; specifically the variety where a bunch of people gather together at some physical location to demonstrate their objections to policies or institutions that they disagree with. (I&#8217;m deliberately using &#8220;protest&#8221; to refer to this, not to individual acts or boycotts or other varieties of [...]]]></description>

I have a master&#8217;s degree in sociology and a lot of experience working on the topic of knowledge economies, but that&#8217;s about the short of it. Time for my $0.02.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, September isn&#8217;t over, but my experiment with pricing my biopunk novel, Fourwar, on Amazon Kindle at $0.99 is. I reduced the price at the beginning of September, made the requisite announcements on Twitter and my other social networks, and pressed on with my (admittedly light) marketing efforts. Net result? Zero sales, no change from [...]]]></description>
