		<title>Writeup on the Dangers of a Nuclear Meltdown in Japan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just came across a long writeup regarding the probability of a serious nuclear catastrophe in Japan that might be worth a read.  In my opinion we're spending a lot of "news" cycles speculating about a situation which poses a small risk instead of focusing on the actual tragedy that has already happened. If you [...]]]></description>

		<title>International Women&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy 100th International Women's Day! Hooray!  The Bad Astronomer has a post about it if you're interested. The video by Judi Dench and Daniel Craig is a good reminder of how far we have to go for truer equality and perhaps how far we've come.]]></description>

		<title>MacOS X 10.6 Desktop &amp; Screen Saver Bug</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across an odd bug a couple weeks ago with MacOS X 10.6.6 and the "Desktop &#38; Screen Saver" System Preference pane. Seemingly out of the blue, when I attempted to modify my screensaver, it would just hang indefinitely and when attempting to click it again it would (usually) crash with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) errors.

		<title>Nathan Rogers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I figured I'd take a quick moment to share some of the music I've been listening to lately. Back in October I spent a couple of days in the Eastern Townships on union business. Because it's so close to the US border and CBC Radio 1 reception can be sketchy I usually find myself tuning [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Shadow of Phobos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw this very cool animation of the shadow of Mars' moon Phobos passing over a dust storm. Apparently an enterprising enthusiast combed through online archives of photos taken by the Viking 1 probe back in '76 and found this sequence. It's kind of cool to see that people are still finding new information this [...]]]></description>

		<title>EMC/VMware To Acquire SUSE from Novell?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Slashdot has an article up reporting that VMware may be planning on purchasing the SUSE division from Novell.  According to the Wall Street Journal VMware is in the process of attempting to purchase the SUSE Linux operating system.  What's interesting to me is not that VMware might be trying to buy SUSE but rather than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hubble Photo of Carbon Star</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just came across this cool photo of the binary star AFGL 3068 on Bad Astronomy.  The star is dying and is wrapped in a cloud of carbon and because it's a binary star the cloud has formed a spiral around the star itself.  You've probably never seen anything quite like it and the accompanying [...]]]></description>

		<title>CRTC Matching Line Speed Ruling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across this article on Slashdot this morning, apparently the CRTC has ruled that ISPs such as Bell must provide the same network service to resellers as they currently do to their own customers.  This means that ISPs such as Teksavvy that currently provide service over Bell's DSL infrastructure and copper should soon be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pioneer One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across a link to Pioneer One last week and I downloaded it over the weekend.  I finally got around to watching it this evening and I have to say that for a $6000 budget it's not that bad, in fact I'm sure hoping that it continues, I'm pretty curious about the plot.  Anyway [...]]]></description>

		<title>Training Courses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm on a RHCE course all week this week, it reminds me how much I don't fit into classroom settings. The material we're covering is actually pretty interesting and I'm motivated to pay attention because I'd like to pass the exam on Friday but I still find myself drifting off in my own head. Where [...]]]></description>
