		<title>Anyone else&#8217;s iPhone buggy since updating OS?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since &#8220;upgrading&#8221; my iPhone 3GS to the new OS4, my phone has had a few problems. The response time of the touchscreen has slowed, and the sensitivity skips. Often, I am able to type out only three of the four digits required to unlock the phone. Once the phone is unlocked, it sometimes appears [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Human in the New York Times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The blog I manage at the National Humanities Center runs brief articles by humanists and scientists on the ever-growing intersections of the humanities and sciences. This week, we partnered with the New York Times, whose The Stone blog is running our article. Exciting! Go to either http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/18/moral-camouflage-or-moral-monkeys/?hp or onthehuman.org/ for more.]]></description>

		<title>redondel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It takes two to drive a bus in Quito: one steers the bus and one collects the people and their money by calling out stops in an endless monotone, a monotone interrupted only by lupine whistles at high heels and sunglasses. She tiptoes toward the bus as fast as blue stilettos permit. The giant blue [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not all coffee is the Same</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Ecuador&#8217;s Pacific coast, high striated cirri fold in the sky like wrinkles of dry snow on a fallow western Massachusetts field. Boys launch fishing boats in the surf, standing in the hull and pushing their craft forward with poles that sink into the sand. And somewhere between, where the sea&#8217;s horizon meets the sky, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Technology-related advice on traveling to Quito, Ecuador</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although my focus here is on traveling from the U.S. to Quito, much of what I recommend applies elsewhere in South America, indeed in much of the world. There’s WIFI everywhere. Ecuador is in the middle of an exciting explosion of Internet access, and you&#8217;ll see netbooks advertised daily in newspapers and magazines. That said, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Quito, Ecuador, clouds roll in from the northeast to shroud the neighborhood La Floresta in a mystical ether. Handheld camera + a wall + Gnarls Barkley covering Radiohead&#8217;s haunting &#8220;Reckoner.&#8221; Readers who viewed this page also viewed:]]></description>

		<title>photo in Schmap LA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Emma Williams contacted me a few weeks ago about including one of my photos of Echo Park in this year&#8217;s Schmap guide to Los Angeles. It&#8217;s not one of my best photos, by far, but I am honored it was included. In July 2008, during my summer biking autopia, I snapped this photo as the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Team Sisyphus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At work, we host a lot of events. Setting up for each event involves (re)moving tables, setting up chairs, setting up a lectern and projector equipment, testing the sound system, and sometimes setting up recording equipment. Once the event is over, we take it all back down again. Sometimes we feel like we set it [...]]]></description>
