		<title>Web Logs and Scholarship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I moderated a panel discussion titled “Web Logs and Scholarship.” I recorded the audio live, so here’s a slidecast of the entire thing.

Web Logs and Scholarship
View more presentations from Bart Everson.

The highlight for me was definitely when we started digging into the bigger issues. I asked how blogs impact the development of knowledge, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wizard vs. Cities on Flame: Comparative Lyrical Analysis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

My friend Brad W. once made an offhand remark in an online discussion that has been preying on me for years now.
We were discussing early heavy metal, in particular Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult, in particular a certain riff that shows up on both bands&#8217; debut albums. Who was copying who, I wondered? It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Honoring My Mother</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Today&#8217;s the birthday of a very special woman in my life. I call her Mom.
Over the years I&#8217;ve come to realize that I owe Mom for whatever sense I may have for the importance of ethics, morality and social justice. I don&#8217;t know if it was learned or simply inherited, but I&#8217;m pretty sure it [...]]]></description>

As previously noted: I sprained my ankle a couple years ago. In December I broke a toe. Also, something seems to be wrong with my heel. This is all on the same foot, the left one.
On Mardi Gras, a pit bull sunk his teeth into my calf. I can still see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bye Bye Folds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Folds seemed to be doing better immediately after her surgery. But a week or so later she took a turn for the worse. She was lethargic. Then she got more lethargic. She couldn&#8217;t make it to the litter box. She didn&#8217;t have the strength to eat. She could barely take a drink of water. She [...]]]></description>

		<title>Romancing the Void</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Next to Nothingness by Diane Yuri/ / CC BY-NC-SA 2.0
It seems in our culture we are afraid of silence and emptiness. We fill our days with activities and rush about and chatter a lot, but underneath this superficial noise many of us feel somewhat hollow. If we pause we may get a glimpse of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Such a Brutal Lifestyle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday&#8217;s front page story really captured our attention. All credit to reporter Sarah Carr. I&#8217;d never heard of the school she focused on, but the parallels to Xy&#8217;s experience are striking. I&#8217;ve quoted the story at length below, interspersing some of my own thoughts where relevant.

Early every morning, Akili Academy&#8217;s teachers gather for a daily [...]]]></description>

As per usual they stayed at Camp Restore and kept busy, but I did manage to visit with them a couple times. This time they brought some friends with them [...]]]></description>
