		<title>Plug: One of my friends is starting a sex blog.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[She&#8217;s keeping it anonymous, so I won&#8217;t say who (nobody who has been mentioned here before), but she&#8217;s smart and interesting and cool and so you should add Never Accidental to your RSS feeds right now.

		<description><![CDATA[Tyler Cowen has had, for a few weeks now, a campaign on his blog to increase the prices of parking.

		<title>The Difference Between Faith and Fallibilism; the Difference Between Belief and Action; OR: Against Faith Part I.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This little screed will have two preliminary sections, drawing two distinctions.  It then will have a final section (which probably won&#8217;t be more than a few sentences) applying those distinctions to take potshots at an argument I dislike.  If I were a responsible screed-writer, there&#8217;d be some kind of an introductory paragraph explaining [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I keep my notes for writing in Evernote, which is super-useful, all web2.0ey, free, and synched across devices in like a million ways &#8212; it&#8217;s a great brain-dump tool.
I&#8217;ve also started reading some academic books on kindle.

The loss of her computer was depressing but not disastrous.  Salander had had an excellent relationship with it during the year she had owned it.

Now he&#8217;s talking about &#8220;toxic electronics.&#8221;  Apparently all these old iphones we&#8217;re going to get rid of are going to be shipped to other countries to leach poisons into the water.  &#8220;Producer responsibility&#8221; is the word of the day.

		<title>The experience of a young lawyer.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This chap in McSweeney&#8217;s nails it (for once):

		<title>Wisdom from a writer, applied to academics.  OR: why everything seems to take five dozen drafts.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(In case you haven&#8217;t noticed, guys, I&#8217;m resurrecting the blog.)

If someone held a gun to your head and said start typing, bub, you&#8217;d start to type. Would it be good? Good god, no. But [...]]]></description>
