		<title>Same Same But Different</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You wouldn&#8217;t think that young Chinese and Americans have too much in common, but two recent news articles suggest that they might.
The first article talks about Millennials in America entering the workforce:
Millennials want more vacation and time for themselves away from the job than young people did 30 years ago, and they also value compensation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Algorithms are Hard :(</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was listening to a podcast that referenced Cajmere&#8217;s Coffee Pot - commonly referred to as &#8220;Percolator&#8221; or &#8220;It&#8217;s time for the percolator&#8221;.  I was wondering how the original song went, so I figured I&#8217;d listen to in on YouTube.
All good, but check out that &#8220;featured video&#8221; in the upper right corner.  I&#8217;m guessing [...]]]></description>

		<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>
