		<title>I gave a short talk and nobody died</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My talk on story games at Interesting Portland went well, thank you. There&#8217;s a video here; I still haven&#8217;t gotten off my ass to record a nice clean soundtrack to go with my slides. There are some post-show notes over here that I&#8217;ve been pretty good about updating.

		<title>I&#8217;m speaking at Interesting Portland, April 9th 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So there&#8217;s this thing! Yeah. Like the Ignite events, only more expensive and less irritating. I&#8217;ll be trying to teach everyone in ten minutes how to play story games. (Well, not those exact ones I talk about in that old post; more like a hyper-streamlined, more general, low-impact version. But one that totally works, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The loneliness of the wrong-system chooser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First it was Betamax. Our household didn&#8217;t choose it, but if it had been up to me, we would have. I was ten years old. My dad had just announced we&#8217;d be getting a VHS deck, and I remember looking up at him &#8211; not many memories of that, we were already close to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>George Lakoff talks about The Political Mind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here at long last is the compilation of my Twitter notes from George Lakoff&#8217;s talk at the Bagdad in Portland on June 12, 2008, about his new book The Political Mind. I tweeted these all as quotes, but they aren&#8217;t exact, so if something here enrages you, check with me first on whether he actually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scott McCloud talk at Stumptown Comics Fest 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As long as I&#8217;m bloggin&#8217; it up: for those of you who missed, or irritatedly switched off, my flood of live tweets from this past weekend&#8217;s unstructured talk by Understanding Comics author Scott McCloud at Stumptown Comics Fest, well, here you go.
These are my paraphrases of McCloud&#8217;s comments as they went by, so if something [...]]]></description>

		<title>Forums Must Play!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Through no fault of my own (note: lies), I have spent a humongous amount of time on web forums in the last year. And really, they&#8217;ve always been a part of my web diet, but only in rarefied varieties &#8211; the run-of-the-mill phpBB-style forums have never been to my taste. They just feel a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summary of chapter 1 of George Lakoff&#8217;s Don&#8217;t Think Of An Elephant!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a repost, retitled for the sake of our robot brothers (read: search engines), of an original, my-own-damn-words summary of the most important political writing for anyone on the American left to read today &#8211; the first chapter of Don&#8217;t Think Of An Elephant!. It&#8217;s as relevant now as when it was first published [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ve been busy being a nerd</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure what it is about AppJet. Did it really make it more possible for me to say, truthfully, unto you on this day that I made a web application yesterday? Or does it just make it feel more possible, and I could have done it just as easily with some other batch of [...]]]></description>

		<title>We had to destroy the caps-lock key to save it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Enso is now freeware. If you run Windows (and there have been allegations of a forthcoming Mac version, although Quicksilver is very good), you need to give this a try. You&#8217;ll never know how much time and attention you are wasting in your Start menu if you don&#8217;t. And don&#8217;t worry, you&#8217;ll still have access [...]]]></description>
