		<title>eReader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am really impressed with the upcoming iteration of Kindle. They&#8217;ve wittled the price down to $139 for wifi-only, which is a substantial price competition to the iPad. It even has a browser now. I really wonder what the bandwidth restrictions will be with the 3G versions with that particular feature, but either way, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Year of the Flood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Margaret Atwood was on Q this week and I hope to pick up her latest book this weekend. Brilliant lady, and I wanted to remind all of my earlier review of her last brilliant book, Payback, from the Massey Lectures.

		<title>Dear Winston-Salem Journal,</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thursday&#8217;s paper had two front-page items that spoke volumes to our city&#8217;s failure of foresight. The first was the Beltway headline, the second the &#8220;Dash Effect&#8221; teaser for Relish. They indicate that Winston-Salem has stepped up boldly with the development and transit solutions of the 1960s.
With the DOT rejecting its importance, property owners in dire [...]]]></description>

		<title>James E. McWilliams Dissected</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a bit late to the punch, but I heard an interview with James E. McWilliams today on July 22&#8217;s edition of Q, and it reminded me why his his Forbes treatise bugged me so much last year.
James E. McWilliams is a hardcore liberal freemarketer, essentially a personification of The Economist, whose polemical arguments tend [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review: The Geography of Nowhere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[James Howard Kunstler&#8217;s 1993 opus was ahead of its time.
Kunstler does a grand sweep of pretty much every topic that interests me, and it&#8217;s a big surprise to me more than anything that I failed to read this book until now. My favorite excerpt is one I read in the beginning of Chapter 11, which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bandwidth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m slightly bothered by the fact that I&#8217;ve now seen two different cable operators in two different markets advertise &#8220;specials&#8221; where you can &#8220;lock in your rate for two years!&#8221;
I thought bandwidth was getting cheaper? Why would I lock in a rate since all market fundamentals tell me that the product&#8217;s price should go down [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Port Authority,</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I need a full system map. There used to be a PDF version available at this URL but I cannot find it now. The not-to-scale hand schedules are laughably inadequate for traveling about the region. A full system map is a necessary part of any multi-modal transit operation.
I recommend that Port Authority offer system maps [...]]]></description>

		<title>Because It Bears Repeating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Sister Betty: &#8220;Yet, sometimes we fool ourselves thinking the next place will be sparkly-shiney.  Pretty much nowhere is sparkly-shiney.  Every place is just somewhere else.&#8221;

		<title>Fashion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something I was told today that struck a nerve: All fashion is usually based on the envy of saying &#8220;I&#8217;d look as good as him with what he&#8217;s wearing.&#8221;

		<title>From Within the Matrix&#8230;</title>
