		<title>Forward Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So! I&#8217;ve been busy. My latest and greatest: a self improvement blog by the name of Three New Leaves, where I talk about the three ways my life has changed over the last year. That sounds awfully self-centered, but I&#8217;m aiming to provide genuine value, here, and some inspiration gleaned from my own experience. I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crossing Over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I touched on this back in November, but the topic warrants another look. How many times, during an average day, do you come across someone new? Better yet, how many times do you pass a familiar face that you&#8217;ve never bothered to strike up a conversation with? Colin Wright calls it civil inattention, and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reboot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My life, at times &#8211; deep breath now &#8211; is kind of a mess. That&#8217;s painting it pretty thick. But here&#8217;s the thing, from the easy-peasy life of a middle-class white kid to another: I&#8217;ve got it good. Loving parents, generous funding, and a long string of letter grades suggesting this boy has more than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of Robbery and Disappointment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For separate things, no less! In wonderful news, Vagabondish.com just published my latest piece, the aptly-titled &#8216;How Getting Robbed Saved Me from the Culture of Stuff.&#8217; I&#8217;d add on some self-deprecating witticism, but, uh, that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s about it. For real. In less marvelous news, the internship I&#8217;d kinda-sorta banked on to carry me into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music Monday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(What? It&#8217;s Tuesday? Screw you.) Round two: Priscilla Ahn. I first met my new favorite half-South Korean (I know so many) through the fantastic Blogotheque project. For anyone confused as hell by that previous sentence, the Blogotheque &#8212; Take Away Shows, by another name &#8211; is music distilled, a shaky-cam experiment with light, sound, and typically obscure [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Defense of the Tweet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Out with it, then: I&#8217;ve been converted. Twitter is awesome. Sure, sure, it&#8217;s little more than a glorified list of facebook status updates, but the last twenty-four hours have proven that it&#8217;s all of that and a little something I like to call potential. Take, for example, Don&#8217;t Talk to Strangers (and Other Terrible Advice [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music Monday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(What? It&#8217;s still Sunday? Screw you.) This, ladies and gents, is a completely irregular feature of vital importance. There&#8217;s a lot of music out there. Some good. Some bad. Mostly bad, actually, but what the hell &#8212;  plenty of good stuff is just waiting to be discovered, and I happen to know a few artists [...]]]></description>
