		<description><![CDATA[So, fast forward a week. Another weekend, another chance to see the museum. This time, I planned quite a bit better. I made sure to have my camera in a handy spot the night before, so I could grab it right away, and I double checked the CTA website to make sure I&#8217;d be able [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two weeks ago, I decided to go see the Fountain of Time as part of my Explore and Create 2009 theme. Without being too specific, I live nowhere near the Fountain, so this was a bit of trip. I decided that as long as I was in the area, I&#8217;d also have a look around [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The lyrics to Sarah McLachlan&#8217;s song, &#8220;Oridinary Miracle&#8221; are not what I&#8217;m talking about when I say that the world is strange and mysterious:
Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.
What&#8217;s strange and really inspiring? What if I told I had personally been in a place where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eliezer Yudkowsky writes &#8220;If You Demand Magic, Magic Won&#8217;t Help&#8221; on Overcoming Bias:
Born into a world of science, they [fantasy fiction readers] did not become scientists.  What makes them think that, in a world of magic, they would act any differently?
If they don&#8217;t have the scientific attitude, that nothing is &#8220;mere&#8221; &#8211; the capacity [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This tentative guideline to life is actually based on the title of one of the first blogs I encountered, The Skeptical Optimist.  People think that there&#8217;s a contradiction between being skeptical and being an optimist, but it&#8217;s not true. I don&#8217;t think this actually goes far enough &#8212; I think it&#8217;s a good idea [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by running across my old (pen and paper) journal last night, and by this post at the Happiness Project, I decided to create a list of things I&#8217;ve learned (draft version):

Be cynically optimistic.
There is a cost to everything.
Location, location, location &#8212; the physical world and its arrangement are still important
Words are not weapons.
