		<title>My first ever Lego set: the Guggenheim Museum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was young, Legos came in the form of boxes of random, mixed-up blocks: cast-offs from more well-to-do kids who got tired of them. I never had enough parts to complete whatever the pictures showed, so I took liberties with them and just made up whatever I thought I could. Tonight, a friend bought [...]]]></description>

		<title>A look at WordPress 3.0&#8217;s default theme, Twentyten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of features are discussed for the new default theme for WordPress version 3. I&#8217;m using a theme base which I rolled together over the years, based off of Classic (of all things!). It&#8217;s a quick and easy and customizable way for me to deploy a site and focus on the CSS, as I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Money, elections and Citizens United</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When our current president vocally, candidly and not since Andrew Jackson oh so petulantly lambasted—in a forum no less important than the State Of The Union address—the SCOTUS for the Citizens United ruling, it prompted Associate Justice Alito to silently mouth &#8220;not true&#8221; at the numerous falsehoods spewing from the mouth of the boy-king. Our [...]]]></description>

		<title>On James O&#8217;Keefe and prejudicing one&#8217;s allies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While Liberals gleefully celebrate the arrest of investigative journalist James O&#8217;Keefe, Conservatives are wringing their hands. The most telling thing I see about this, is that the young man has not even been convicted and the Left and Right have prejudiced this man for their own reasons.
For the Liberals, it&#8217;s easy. He shed light on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art and the artists who make them</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a few moments, appreciate the paintings below.
   
Composition and technique really aren&#8217;t all that exemplary, but they show practice. They capture what seems to be the intended qualities in each scene: the bustle of city life, the majesty of a palace, the tranquility of a lake. If one were to use the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moral attacks in politics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not too many people know the actual terms for the ethical concepts of deontology (formalism) and consequentialism (utilitarianism), but in their lives they feel the full conflict of these two moral &#8220;schools&#8221; when facing moral dilemmas and trying to do &#8220;the right thing.&#8221; The third school, which predates these two, is virtue ethics. As a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building the big tent: how the two parties campaign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having grown up in the Philippines and being politically aware since high school, most of the campaigns for national office revolve around pandering to the massive throngs of urban and rural poor. Most of this pandering involves some version of eat-the-rich class warfare rhetoric that aims to promise redistribution of wealth. The Philippines is not, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Helping Haiti when our heartstrings are all tugged out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night during a monthly meetup with a few Howard County friends, I brought up the topic of awareness camapaigns and the values of charity. I&#8217;ve always believed in fostering prosperity at home&#8212;the USA&#8212;instead of throwing money at third world countries &#8220;to help develop&#8221; them. I have made the distinction between &#8220;donation&#8221; and &#8220;investment&#8221; in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shackling a free market: WordPress canonical plugins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In matters of criminal investigation, intent can be proven by certain actions. However, in these cases, there is a jury to be convinced and a victim to be vindicated. Thankfully, when it comes to disputes in the tech community, one need not try to prove intentions through actions. One need only ask. Following the remarks [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the matter of value</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest failures of the open-source community, and the GPL-istas particularly, is not clarifying the concept of libre versus gratis when talking about free. It&#8217;s for this same reason that I&#8217;ve learned to use FLOSS&#8212;Free/Libre Open Source Software&#8212;to refer to projects such as WordPress. This distinction hurts developers when they release plugins to [...]]]></description>
