		<title>Photogrosaurus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was almost interest in me to actively create art but never the motivated initiative to follow through. Typical high school poetry meetings and art classes were far more important for my social life than for my creative outlet. Once I began doing philosophy, I still spent time pondering art and its mystical characteristics. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>ICanHasDataInput</title>
		<description><![CDATA[IBM has created a supercomputer with enough processing power for &#8220;real-time cortical simulation that achieved more than 1 billion spiking neurons, as well as 10 trillion individual learning synapses&#8221; exceeding the capacity of a cat&#8217;s brain. The technology is predicted to come as close as ever to replicating the human brain by 2019. This, of [...]]]></description>

		<title>To Whom Do I Owe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is said that for anything to be gained, something of equal value must be lost in exchange. Whether you believe this to be absolutely true in all scenarios does not necessarily mean that you do not use this philosophy in everyday life. People, in general, believe that effort spent will, in time, allow them [...]]]></description>

		<title>Headphonus Supremus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have recently become a member of an online community of aficionados of  headphones and other sound oriented electronics. This, unsurprisingly, has led me to make several purchases that I would not have made without such inspiration. First, and foremost, are my Sony MDR-v6 headphones that are now in the process of being taken from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Four More Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York City Council has voted to amend the city’s law on term limits, allowing representatives to hold their position for a maximum of 12 years as opposed to the previous limit of 8 years. This was the translucent work of New York’s mayor Michael Bloomberg who is planning to run for his third [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fake Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, the California Supreme Court overturned a ban on gay marriage. In light of this joyous occasion for gay rights activists, I&#8217;d like to share my thoughts on the topic and, perhaps, give some advice to those who aren&#8217;t simply seeking the uninspired ability to say that they&#8217;re married. I don&#8217;t mean to tread on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dust Palaeolagus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It recently dawned on me, surprisingly, that the greatly established and worldly popular religions of today are many centuries old. I was sort of in awe of the fact that so great a nuisance could not only survive these thousands of years but, amazingly, that it has dilated in nearly every spectrum. The majority of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Murderous ping pong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, the title of this entry is not referring to a new kind of extreme underground sport that involves some kind of cage. Instead, it&#8217;s about something that has been quite popular for discussion recently- the unusual relationship between the Muslim world, notably in Middle-Eastern and African nations, and the politics of the western world.
