		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever been quite so busy.  I applied to a prestigious writer&#8217;s workshop last night.  I should hear back in the next couple of weeks.  I&#8217;ll reveal more details then, for better or for worse.

		<description><![CDATA[Every student should be able to design their own classes.  Think about how many freakin&#8217; Einsteins we&#8217;d have if teenage boys could create classes like &#8220;The Chemistry of Blowing Stuff Up&#8221; and &#8220;The Physics of Breast Movement in 3D Gaming Worlds.&#8221; I&#8217;m not saying that there wouldn&#8217;t be some *negative repercussions.  (We desperately need more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apologies for all the SF book reviews&#8211;in my mad sprint to the end of the month finish line, I&#8217;m trying to cram in as many books as I can in an attempt to get close to my New Year&#8217;s Resolution. This end of the month clump of reviews is partly the result of my inability [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Carl Marsalis is a Variant Thirteen&#8211;the result of a near future project to genetically engineered abnormally strong and quick and hyper-aggressive soldiers. His kind are feared as humanoid monsters, and most are kept in camps or exiled to colonies on Mars. Marsalis has been hired to help track down a virtually untrackable renegade thirteen who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sound the trumpets folks! It&#8217;s book #2 of the 100 I&#8217;m supposed to read for this year. I&#8217;ll be the first to admit I&#8217;m a little slow coming out of the starting gates. My calculations tell me that I should have completed 7.2 texts thus far. I&#8217;ll catch up, I promise. The Tourmaline may be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can barely keep my eyelids propped open, but I wanted to share some thoughts before I lie down for some sweet, sweet rest. We live in a stranger universe than anything we could imagine on our own. Recent science news give tiny little snapshots of this crazy reality: Scientists have discovered a black hole [...]]]></description>
