		<title>Why is the word YES so brief?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why is the word yes so brief?
It should be
the longest,
the hardest,
so that you could not decide in an instant to say it,
so that upon reflection you could stop
in the middle of saying it.
(Vera Pavlova)

		<title>This Valentine&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must admit that, having played the game and paid the price, this Valentine&#8217;s Day (business) affair is all good by me. But what they don&#8217;t tell you on those cheerful cards is that Saint Valentine  was eventually imprisoned, beaten, stoned, and beheaded. Swedes got it right, they call the day Alla hjärtans dag, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Known Universe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world&#8217;s most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clown in the Moon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My tears are like the quiet drift
Of petals from some magic  rose;
And all my grief flows from the rift
Of unremembered skies  and snows.
I think, that if I touched the earth,
It would  crumble;
It is so sad and beautiful,
So tremulously like a dream.
(Dylan Thomas)

		<title>4th blog anniversary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back on the 4th of February of 2006, this blog, in its current configuration, debuted. It has been an interesting ride, even with the two year hiatus in between. Looking now at the blog statistics, we&#8217;ve had 218 unique users in the last 24 hours. And that is quite an accomplishment for something that started [...]]]></description>

CONFORMITY

		<title>Quoi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, someone mentioned to me that no one sings Love as well as the French, while citing Serge Gainsbourg with his muse, Jane Birkin, as an example. I nodded, approvingly, spotting the delicious irony of Jane Birkin being, in fact, British. She still sings Love beautifully, though.

		<title>Do not go gentle into that good night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do  not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at  close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though  wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had  forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good  men, the last [...]]]></description>

		<title>Frank Zappa reincarnated as birds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot devotes himself to transforming the visual world into sound. Underneath you can see an example of precisely that. To tell you the truth, if I didn&#8217;t know any better I would believe Frank Zappa had reincarnated as a bird.
