		<title>This Week in Sociopaths!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I&#8217;ve been doing these little pieces for Salon.com for a few weeks. I shoot them at my desk, using desk lighting and the photo-booth feature on my Mac&#8230;so that should explain the production values. (Oh&#8230;and I own a green screen. And can not keep myself from using it.) The pieces are meant to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>A video I made in my new greenscreen suit about nanotechnology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve started making some videos for Salon.com about stuff in the news. This is from this past week and is based on an article I read that &#8230;well, I explain it in the video. Its only a minute and 30 seconds long: perfect for the ADD attention span with which we are all so familiar. [...]]]></description>

		<title>What to say to the 3 people who come to hear you read at a bookstore.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I have a book come out, friends ask me if I will be appearing at any bookstores. I shrug and smile. This is what I am too embarrassed to tell them: There are many perks to being an author. I bet J.K.Rowling would tell you that the only down side to a bookstore appearance [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh, the giddy hilarity of bras.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, its President&#8217;s Day and of course the excitement is palpable. So many holidays, so many opportunities to buy chairs or refrigerators. It can be overwhelming. Obviously we humans love our holidays. In ancient Rome they had 159 publicly funded holidays a year. Three a week!  The ancient Romans were so busy packing and unpacking [...]]]></description>

		<title>My homage to Westminster: The White Working Humans-in-Suits Groups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Westminster is happening this week. By which I mean the big Westminster Kennel Club Show at Madison Square Garden.  Every year I watch that show and have the same thought about how impossible it would be to be a human being leaping around the ring with those pure bred dogs.  Year before last I finally [...]]]></description>

		<title>RE: The Super Bowl: How I tried to win a million dollars by making a Dorito commercial.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I know it is The Superbowl next Sunday. And I know this, even though I don&#8217;t watch any sports. There. I said it.  None. Nothing. And I am fortunate enough to now live with a man who shares my lack of interest. (In fact, just last night he said to me &#8220;Who is playing [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Very Dylan Christmas:#3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If this blog has a yearly tradition it is my ongoing efforts at photographing Bob Dylan&#8217;s Christmas Decorations. Not everyone thinks of Bob Dylan as a Christmassy sort of guy. I know I didn&#8217;t. But I do now. It started because I like to inspect the neighborhood Christmas decorations every year and Mr. Dylan has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some new and hopefully funny stuff re: My New Book.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; So this is a little PR wrap up of a few my recent book promotional attempts&#8230;at least the ones that I thought went well.  If you have come to this site looking for current data on me, this stuff might be it. First, here&#8217;s the WTF podcast I did with Marc Maron. I f [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not just two endings, but two impressive tricks!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made myself a book promo. Because I have a book coming out in a month. I realize that this promo does not offer a lot of information about the book. But it DOES have TWO endings, both involving pretty fancy footwork on the part of my dogs. I am at work on ANOTHER promo [...]]]></description>
