		<title>SIMILE Timeline and XML String Datasources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently been playing around with the SIMILE Timeline visualizer for XML data, which is pretty neat.  I had one minor little gripe with it, which is that I wanted to be able to use data from an XML string in certain cases where I already was working in the context of an XSL [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Track on Myspace - Waking Alone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally got around to finishing up a new track with Naomi.  We both have vocals on this one - &#8220;Waking Alone&#8221; - so if you&#8217;re at all into trance or synthpop or some strange fusion of the two, check it out!

		<title>MicroReviews: Gravity&#8217;s Rainbow, Artemis Fowl, Parable of the Sower</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, as you can see, I&#8217;ve been reading both the highbrow and the low.  A little of everything for the win!
To start: Thomas Pynchon&#8217;s Gravity&#8217;s Rainbow is a pretty fun read.  A large mix of history, science, the occult, and Pynchon&#8217;s very odd brain, this one took me a bit longer to read [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coupla Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, I&#8217;ve finally bothered to add some of my artwork, so it&#8217;s in one place instead of spread out over a buncha blog postings.
Which brings me to a related update - I&#8217;ve started pencilling a basic comic-type storyline which I expect to be a bit of horror-comedy, or so I&#8217;m thinking now.  These things [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Don Lapre&#8221; Comment Spam Scam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have no idea who Don Lapre actually is - he&#8217;s some sort of infomercial vitamin-selling scammer dude according to wikipedia.  Anyway, somebody left a hand-crafted spam comment on my SORBS post today which actually referenced the content of the post, but the format of the signature was a bit strange so I jumped [...]]]></description>

		<title>MySpace Idiocy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not that I really expect more out of a site like MySpace, but as it seems to be ever more a necessary social evil these days, I have a profile there.  Anyway, I want to add my University of Toronto time to my profile for networking purposes, but the only school it will allow [...]]]></description>

		<title>MicroReview: Blood Diamond (2006)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cass and I went to see Blood Diamond this evening.  It was a tossup between that and Casino Royale, but when she heard that the former starred Leonardo, she was significantly more excited about that than about seeing a new Bond who has apparently been referred to as &#8220;James Bland.&#8221;  So Blood Diamond [...]]]></description>

		<title>MicroReview: Equilibrium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A couple of nights ago I had the opportunity to watch Kurt Wimmer&#8217;s Equilibrium, which has been on my buy/rent/download list for a year now.  I wasn&#8217;t disappointed.  This film definitely goes on my list of favorites both for the amazing action and the stark aesthetic.


Funny enough, I&#8217;d actually say this movie has [...]]]></description>

		<title>While I&#8217;m Thinking Of It&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Has anyone noticed that Balligomingo&#8217;s &#8220;Wild Butterfly&#8221; uses a hook pattern weirdly similar to the bridge hook from Enya&#8217;s &#8220;Orinoco Flow&#8221; or is it just me?  I could swear they&#8217;re almost identical.  Given that Balligomingo has been accused of plagiarism before, I suppose this wouldn&#8217;t be a complete surprise&#8230;

		<title>MicroReview: Ian Irvine&#8217;s A Shadow On The Glass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up this book recently since I have no major epic fantasy or sci fi series on my reading list at the moment, and thought maybe it would be worth a shot.   The short of it?  An interesting world, neat quirks and abilities, and such poorly written characterization that the story [...]]]></description>
