		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a fan of Facebook. But I can see what they&#8217;re doing, and why their current advertising revenue is irrelevant to their long-term profitability. And it seems someone else (at TechCrunch of all places) seems to get it: Facebook has won the identity wars. So their advertising income is relatively speaking peanuts. Who cares?

		<description><![CDATA[Charlie Stross makes a strong practical case for eliminating DRM from ebooks: Finally, if going DRM-free is a trend, it may be to Macmillan&#8217;s advantage to be seen to be a front-runner. Removing the requirement for DRM from specialist imprints marketing primarily to the voracious genre readers would be a useful experimental step: I will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got into a Twitter-fight with @paulcarr earlier today. (Yes, someone was wrong on the Internet!) The topic developed into an editorial piece on Pando Daily. I&#8217;ll admit I did a poor job of defending my point on Twitter, within the 140-character limit. I started a less-constrained reply on the PandoDaily article, but decided it [...]]]></description>

A couple of guys came in the shop, talking to each other, and I realized they were discussing a Dungeons and Dragons game.

		<description><![CDATA[I see Haskell as a collaboration between academics and some of the more academically-inclined practicals to attempt to create a truly useful language whose state space encompasses a wide set of useful things while retaining as many of the state-space-reducing properties of their beautiful theories as possible. It is a unique-to-my-knowledge blend of the practical [...]]]></description>

The 41-year-old from San Diego says he&#8217;s contacted by headhunters at least once a month, at times has been able to work from home for half his workweek and makes a comfortable living.

Humans have a fundamental need to be consulted, engaged, to exercise their knowledge (and thus power), and no other medium that came before has been able to tap into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to procrastinating, the obvious, salient, commensurate-seeming tradeoff, is between the (assumed) pleasure of reading a random Internet article now, versus the (assumed) pain of doing the work now.&#160; But this, as I said above, is not where I think the real tradeoff is; events that are five minutes away are too distant [...]]]></description>
