		<description><![CDATA[What if they didn&#8217;t care is the question Arkady and Boris Strugatsky ask in their short, then Soviet, science fiction novel Roadside Picnic. Here is a world responding to the after-effects of an alien visitation where the aliens haven’t even bothered to say hello. It seems they’ve left behind plenty of inscrutable evidence of their [...]]]></description>

I left it on the back of a chair in a restaurant in Germany and when I returned a few hours later, there was no sign of it and no one had turned it in. It had always worked well, but even if I claim I’m a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the 70’s, kids in California would wear these nylon ski-jackets during our &#8216;freezing&#8217; winters. I mean, hey, there would be frost on the cars and it might even get sort of near freezing sometimes! Those jackets were striped in bold earth-tones and stuffed with primaloft, a synthetic down-like material. They were fine for a [...]]]></description>

I’m too cheap to constantly buy every new piece of outdoor clothing or backpack, but I do give a lot of thought to the gear I travel with. The trip to Patagonia offered up some new challenges, so I thought I’d provide a review of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My nascent critical thinking skills were given wings by my Psych 101 professor, and, perhaps, ever since then, my readiness to question every claim has probably annoyed so many people into encouraging me to read C.S. Lewis&#8217; Mere Christianity. It&#8217;s about time I got around to it. 
The collection of invited essays were delivered originally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s a literal word-for-word translation of what sounds like yoda-speak, but is actually German: Why are Germans so law-abiding? Because the German language is so pedantic. Warum sind deutscher so gesetztreu? Weil deutsch so pedantisch ist.
I&#8217;ve long nursed the idea that the language we speak may influence the way we are. Ever since learning German, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I haven&#8217;t been keeping up with book reviews lately, it doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;ve given up reading. People are still handing me books to read and I am slogging through them. Recently, for the first time, I had a book read to me. I received a trial audiobook from Audible.com and decided to give it a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;d never know it from my reviews, but I actually have been reading a bit now and then. Here look, I&#8217;ll prove it:
Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller. Amazingly poetic, raunchy, funny, barely intelligible at times, almost pointless, but quite fantastic. Oh, and you can read this online!
Freakonomics, Stepehn Levitt and Stephen Dubner. Thought provoking. You [...]]]></description>
