		<title>Cool Science</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Look at the nifty stuff that is happening these days: This is pretty amazing: And this&#8230; well&#8230; this is almost unreal. It will be interesting to see whether this ends up being genuine.  Swedes create light from absolute nothingness:]]></description>

		<title>Pepper Spraying Cop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The pepper spraying cop has become a meme. This makes me appreciate the positive aspects of living in an age with such immediate communication technology. Not only can one person&#8217;s douchebaggery be shared &#8211; but that communities can use humor to ease tension, and share that as well. Wired KPLR-11 huffingtonpost]]></description>

		<title>KDFW</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cactus has just released another (free) game called &#8216;Keyboard Drumset Fucking Werewolf&#8216;. There is something about this guy&#8217;s games that really inspires me; it is that you can make a game about anything.  A game doesn&#8217;t have to be logical, nor does it have to use proper language.  A game doesn&#8217;t even have to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warren Spector Teaches a Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve stumbled across this course that Warren Spector is teaching at the University of Texas.  He is very articulate and I respect his perspective a lot, although don&#8217;t frequently share his view of game development.  Well worth watching, and more can be found here. Thanks for posting, Warren!]]></description>
