		<title>I moved the weblog!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alright, folks checking me out in RSS readers and bookmarks. I&#8217;ve moved my weblog and now will be weblogging over at my new site. Update your bookmarks and RSS feeds. I have not yet decided if I&#8217;m going to continue posting anything over here. Probably not. I also disabled all of my co-author accounts. Here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the death of Osama Bin Laden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I was listening to the speech and to some of the reaction online to the news of Osama Bin Laden&#8217;s death, the penultimate paragraph of Miroslav Volf&#8217;s book Exclusion and Embrace kept coming to mind. (I appended the appropriate reference from the bibliography to the end of the quote.) Volf: It may be that [...]]]></description>

		<title>No longer having a few technical difficulties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying to update my blog by moving it to a new server, but alas, I&#8217;m getting nothing but grief. You can see this main page but if you try to view a blog page then you get 404 errors. I know why you get 404 errors, its because I removed the .htaccess file. [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to turn a 555 into a voltage follower</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update: For my non-engineer friends, a 555 is a &#8220;timer&#8221; chip that turns on and off. You can program how fast it turns on and off with a few resistors and a capacitor. I figured out how to make it turn&#8230; half on and half off at the same time. I did this by putting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brain seeing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The child is jumping on the couch, with her eyes closed. &#8220;What are you doing?&#8221; &#8220;I broke my eyes so I&#8217;m seeing with my brain instead of my eyes.&#8221; &#8220;Really?&#8221; &#8220;Yes! I&#8217;m jumping on the couch and not falling off because I can see with my brain and not my eyes.&#8221; &#8220;Ah.&#8221;]]></description>

		<title>The Smokey amp!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight, egged on by the folks at Cigar Box Nation I made a little LM386 amp, the &#8220;Smokey&#8221; amp, as detailed here: http://www.dirtbox.net/diy/projects/1235/smokey-amp/ Pics: It sounded horrible until I disconnected pins 1 and 8, dropping the gain down from 200 to about 20. It had an interesting sound but it wasn&#8217;t really my vibe. Plus [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m happy because I got all 12 relays in and working. Next step is wiring up the sockets for the custom data cables I&#8217;m building to go [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why don&#8217;t people look exhausted when they are done running a marathon?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times recently posted a slideshow of portraits of marathon runners who had just finished the New York City Marathon. Jason Kottke asked why none of them looked exhausted. I can think of a few possible reasons: 1. The photographer and the photo editor decided not to print photos of people who look [...]]]></description>
