		<title>Apparently, My Data Safety Is No Longer In Danger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I see a lot of funny shit while browsing the Internet, and most is not worth more than a chuckle and a sad shake of the head. But last night, I got me a good old belly laugh out of one particularly lame attempt at “social engineering” to coerce me into… I don’t even know [...]]]></description>

		<title>“Metropolis” Redux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I am a terrible pessimist with an optimistic streak, which means that I always expect the worst, but hope that I’m wrong. When the news broke a couple weeks ago that a complete version of Fritz Lang’s 1927 science fiction masterpiece Metropolis had been discovered, I immediately fell into a funk of assuming that it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Once Again, Testing New Toys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I edited this blog to serve as proper XHTML, I was required to disable the footnotes plug-in I originally selected. It was a bummer, to be sure, because I really wanted footnotes. It took me a while to sum up the cojones to try again, but I finally did decide to test out a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coming Soon: The Definition of Atheism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It can be very confusing to try to determine what – exactly – “atheism” is. There is lots of contradictory information out there. Is atheism “denial of the existence of gods”, or simply “not having belief in the existence of gods”? Papers and articles have been written for both options, and each has its advocates [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Webster Cook Guilty of Kidnapping, or a Hate Crime?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend I did a little informal research on the Eucharist, asking every Catholic or former Catholic I could corner about their understanding of it. The results were largely depressing, but I did get quite a bit of insight from one helpful former Catholic. Amazingly enough, despite my tongue-in-cheek critique of the rhetoric of [...]]]></description>

		<title>I am Confused About the Webster Cook Case</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
	
	Photo of the kidnap victim released by the hostage taker

I admit to being just a little clueless about Roman Catholic dogma. I don’t grok the doctrine of the Trinity, and I don’t understand why the Pope dresses like that deliberately. It’s all a foreign mindset to me, but most of the time – unless I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun with Google in the Luminiferous Æther</title>

	Archaeology is the devil’s work

While I was Googling around to find links for my last post on the motivation behind my blog’s subtitle, “Just another dark star in the luminiferous æther”, I stumbled across a couple of interesting links that I thought I’d share with you. In fact, the experience was so delightful that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Another Dark Star in the Luminiferous Æther</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I originally switched WordPress themes from the default to “jd-nebula-3c v1.0”, one of the things I lost was my blog’s subtitle, which the new theme neglected to display. Not content with that, I have since edited the theme’s PHP files to display the subtitle: “Just another dark star in the luminiferous æther”. For those [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using a Simple Spreadsheet to Invert a Matrix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While most students (and many professionals) do not have access to powerful mathematical software like Matlab, virtually everyone has some kind of spreadsheet software, such as OpenOffice.org Calc, Gnumeric or Microsoft Excel. Unfortunately, most of them are unaware of how powerful and flexible even simple spreadsheet software can be, if only you take the time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Equations Enabled, for Better or Worse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Depending on your personal perspective, you may greet the news that I have figured out how to enable equations in WordPress with anything ranging from a cheer to a roll of the eyes.

The only real hard part was ensuring that I was using the correct mime-type and DOCTYPE to properly serve MathML, and even that [...]]]></description>
