		<title>Work Credofesto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Doing work is not enough. Getting work done is not enough. You will not get gold stars for neat handwriting, complete paperwork, or Playing Well With Others. Teamwork means removing yourself from the equation, not splitting the credit. You are not here to find yourself, your soulmate, or for the Master to Appear. Your job [...]]]></description>

		<title>Singing Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rachelle's been going through her music library identifying various snippets to be used as potential ringtones, and one of her recent favorites is "Annie's Song" by John Denver. Most of the versions of this out there are strangely quiet, and while it would be possible to go through the various exercises to transcode it into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kicked Out of the Loop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It can be a difficult thing, balancing perspectives between short and long. Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned from photography - the only way to have foreground and background in focus at the same time is to stop down the aperture, and that only works if you lengthen the exposure time; so to extrapolate, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Salvaging a Cheap Cello</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have always adored the sound of the cello (remember this? Even though it's more clarinet like, I use it to play a cello). The rich, sonorous tones fill the air with a commanding and moving presence capable of evoking profound emotion. Last Christmas I picked up a cheap one to start learning myself (no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merry Christmas, y&#8217;all!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's a day late because I've been celebrating Christmas instead of visiting the blog (and didn't stage a post in advance because I was making ready for celebrations).  Rachelle posted this year's Christmas Card on her blog, so I'll just add a musical flourish to round it out (simple 4-part hymn, "The First Noel", played [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adventures in Telescopic Photography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago I lucked into some telescopes that were being discarded as trash - the weren't being kept up, and the owner had moved on to what he termed "professional grade" equipment.  His trash was something hopelessly beyond my budget to pick up as a first order product, so I was more than happy [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Manic Pessimism of a Small Sample Set</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don't know if it's because of junk journalism, junk science, or small-minded scientists being the vocal minority in every article pertaining to the subject (probably while all the real scientists are off science-ing), but the most commonly reported views on the probability/frequency of extraterrestrial life are absurd. I'm not talking in terms of intelligent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enjoying the Perseids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Growing up I always marked August 12th on my calendar as the peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower ever since I read about it in a magazine (I believe it was National Geographic, but I don't remember with great certainty).  Only once though did I really manage to immerse myself in it, pulling an [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I&#8217;ve Been Up To Lately</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've always been able to sculpt - I've just never done it.  It's been a strange sensation, having that realization sitting around untested, occasionally surfacing and teasing me with possibility.  The very few times I've done anything along these lines it's blossomed easily under my hands - but it's never really been tested, because I [...]]]></description>
