		<title>Gravatar Security, Socially</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gravatar is a very cool concept&#8211; have one universal avatar you can easily use to identify yourself across various sites. The way the &#8220;lookup&#8221; works through MD5 hashes is secure; I&#8217;m not worried about people discovering my email address through the system. I&#8217;ve hesitated using it however for another security concern&#8230; a social concern.
See, right [...]]]></description>

		<title>No MX No Comment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While moderating comments on my most active site today I became annoyed at the number of people who leave comments with obviously fake email addresses. I haven&#8217;t gone to the extent of requiring people to validate their comment by sending them an email like other sites have&#8211; however it is something I&#8217;ve considered. This gave [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thanks in Advance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The phrase &#8220;thanks in advance&#8221; is starting to bug me. It just seems condescending. Typically, the person saying it is asking for a favor, and the conversation goes like this:
Hello,
Would you do me a favor? It would really help me out. Thanks in advance.

And here is how I read it:
Hello,
Would you do me a favor? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Older than 6000</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve often thought about building/writing a website which only talked about the gazillions of things we have proven are more than 6,000 years old. I can&#8217;t believe we have elected officials this ignorant.

Of course there is huge irony here, pointed out by Phil Plait.
The irony, of course — and there’s always irony when creationism is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Online Security</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Too often I hear website owners discussing the security of their CMS and associated themes and plugins. The suggestions are often &#8220;do you know and trust the author of the code?&#8221;. This same analogy can be extended to online banking where people say &#8220;Do you trust that site with your info?&#8221;

		<title>Connie Sonne Paranormal Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Connie Sonne was at TAM-7 yesterday to take a preliminary test for the $1,000,000 challenge put forth by the James Randi Educational Foundation. Connie had a 1 in 1,000 chance of passing the test, by sheer luck. I watched the test live as it was streamed. Connie didn&#8217;t pass the test matching zero out of [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Psychics&#8221; Talking to MJ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it appears that &#8220;psychics&#8221; are already &#8220;talking&#8221; to MJ. Ummm&#8230; yeah&#8230; whatever. But I guess if you want to be a &#8220;real&#8221; psychic&#8211; and of course those don&#8217;t exist anyway, then you won&#8217;t try to contact Michael Jackson for at least six months, according to one idiot self proclaimed psychic.

		<title>WP Super Cache Date Display Issue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The WP Super Cache plugin is finally playing well enough in my environment that I&#8217;ve been able to update from the ancient, abandoned WP-Cache plugin. I did notice however an issue with displaying dates in WordPress 2.8 and 2.8.1. The &#8220;Last&#8221; and &#8220;Next&#8221; Garbage Collection times are incorrect. Yet when I go to the WordPress [...]]]></description>

		<title>Puzzles and Theories</title>

From the gravity binding our feet to earth to the outer reaches of the universe, observations are the pieces of a huge jigsaw puzzle. As we start to fit more of the pieces together we can start to see the big picture, and better understand the world [...]]]></description>
