		<title>Lost CauseWorld</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today an interesting Tweet from @umairh popped up:
opinions on causeworld? there&#8217;s something bugging me about it. http://nyti.ms/coFtpR
CauseWorld in a cause celebre (sorry, couldn&#8217;t resist) of the web world right now.  The premise is hopeful: you use your phone to check in at various locations to earn &#8220;karma points&#8221; which you can then donate to a [...]]]></description>

		<title>World&#8217;s Toughest Map</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across this photo today.  It&#8217;s from backstage at a recent Fashion Week show.  Easily the toughest map to follow ever.

		<title>A Glimpse of Google&#8217;s Future?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may or may not know, but Google tests hundreds of different versions of their search service every day.  They&#8217;ve turned their users into a giant set of unwitting testers who are constantly providing them feedback on how to improve their product.  This unparalleled ability to conduct tests is one of the skills that makes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great Meals and Path Dependence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wen and I are fortunate to have great friends.  A few of them (randomly) ended up giving us gift certificates to Gramercy Tavern when we got married and we finally made it the other night.  As we were basking in the glow of a ridiculously good meal, Wendy mentioned &#8220;how did we get here?&#8221;  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ye Great Storm of 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been snowing for over 24 hours now in NYC, so I thought I&#8217;d post some photos.  If I had cross-country skis, I could have probably skied to work today.
Here are some shots of snowy Carroll Gardens:

This is the intersection of Union and Clinton; it would normally be awash in taxis, school buses and delivery [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gotta Love It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other night I was in the 2nd Ave subway station and a busker was playing the saxophone.  It&#8217;s a total New York cliche &#8211; the echo eventually drowned out by the roar of a train &#8211; but it still sounds great.  Here&#8217;s a snippet:

		<title>Maptastic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my opinion, one of the greatest innovations of the past five years is how location has become a part of everyday life.  Google Maps or its equivalent has become a standard tool in many people&#8217;s life.  When you&#8217;re looking for directions, a place, etc. you simply call it up; no more guessing where you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Competition is a Great Thing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was going through my photos today and found this one:

Now, you might be reasonable asking: &#8220;Lindsay, why on earth would you want to take a photo of a photo of the Ottawa airport&#8217;s board of directors?&#8221;  Because this is a great example of monopolistic excess.
When you arrive in the Ottawa airport domestic terminal, you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can Someone Please Explain This To Me?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was too young to appreciate the beautifully-lucid-yet-logically-untenable propaganda dreamed up by apparatchiks in the Soviet Union, but, fortunately, China is the new Russia.  Check out some quotes from the China Global Times&#8217; response to the U.S. asking for freedom of info on the web:
The hard fact that Clinton has failed to highlight in her [...]]]></description>
