		<title>Happiness is Everywhere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Suddenly, it seems that we are consumed with the search for one of our ‘inalienable rights.’ It’s not that Americans just rediscovered the Declaration of Independence, or Will Smith’s 2006 movie, but rather, it seems to be the latest social science trend.

		<description><![CDATA[Just got back from my morning walk , while on vacation on the Big Island, so I thought I&#8217;d pen a few  random thoughts. Traveling on United Airlines was never a great experience, but now that Continental has taken over, it&#8217;s worse. San Jose Mercury News had a nice story on the problem this week.

		<title>A Good Read</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are all kinds of book reviews. Those that wax poetic about sentence structure and pacing and the finer points of writing, without giving you any indication what a book is about.

		<title>It&#8217;s Been A While</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since my last post. I&#8217;ve been inundated with non-mail, and since no-one asked I&#8217;ll just let you that while the blogosphere apparently hasn&#8217;t missed me, I&#8217;ll offer an excuse anyway. My Dad passed away at the end of October. I was 6,000 miles away from him at the time and quite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Steve Jobs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had just left the Apple store in Berkeley when I got the news bulletin that Steve Jobs, Apple&#8217;s co-founder, had died. I hurried back to the store figuring that as a journalist,  that would be ground zero for reaction. I&#8217;m not sure what I expected: some sort of dirge, employees in tears, I really [...]]]></description>
