		<title>Art Can&#8217;t Hurt You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;m on an indefinite blogging hiatus, I wanted to tell you about my new website. It&#8217;s at ArtCantHurtYou.com, and it&#8217;s awesome. It was designed for me by Sumy Designs, and I&#8217;m really pleased with how it turned out. Please check it out! If you know if anybody looking for any type of writing, editing, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why You Should All Sign Up for Postcrossing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About two months ago, I signed up for something called Postcrossing. The premise is simple: send postcards, get postcards. Who doesn&#8217;t want to get postcards in their mailbox every week? When you first sign up, you can request up to five addresses, which are picked from hundreds of thousands of Postcrossing users across the world, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Singularity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Scott had the idea to ask the community at Making Light about the book I&#8217;ve been seeking. Thirteen minutes later&#8230; he had the answer.
Singularity by William Sleator. Anybody remember reading it?

		<title>Please Help Me, Internet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has been bugging me for years, and if anybody can help me, it&#8217;s you.
I&#8217;m trying to remember a young adult book. I probably read it sometime between third and fifth grades, and it probably falls into the 8 &#8211; 12 year old category. I have no idea if it was new at the time, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Magazine Mailers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s adventures in letter-writing, I bring you two more pieces of magazine-enveloped mail:
 
 
Sorry for the terrible lighting. One of these days I&#8217;ll start using my proper camera for these snapshots. The second piece of mail, to my running buddy Leslee, contains the best-worst postcard in all of London. Behold!

		<title>UPDATED: Winter Running Gear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By far the most popular post on this blog is one I wrote last year about winter running gear. Problem is, a lot of the links had broken. I just went through and fixed all the links, so you can now get a visual of all the running gear I recommend.
Take a look! Winter Running [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mail Art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As anybody who&#8217;s ever gotten mail from me knows, I love to send fun mail. What I lack in artistic talent, I make up for in stickers and colored markers and fun stamps.
Recently inspired by some activity on Twitter (blatantly stolen from the brilliant @leahjones, let&#8217;s be honest) as well as some newly discovered blogs [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I&#8217;m Reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quick site maintenance note:
I read a lot of stuff online, probably more than I should. Google Reader has a nifty function where I can share Web pages with anybody who follows me, and I often share links via Twitter and/or Facebook. Starting today, you can now see my shared Google Reader pages in the right [...]]]></description>
