		<title>Novice paragliding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note: Dion, my instructor read this and was concerned that it painted an overly negative, overly scary picture of the sport.  I toned my language down slightly, but my main objective was to tell my family and friends about how I felt, not to evangelize for how fun (or safe) the sport is!.  Paragliding is [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Perfect Email Client</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note: I first wrote this in 2002 (revised 2004, 2006, and 2007) on the Web site for my books, but have since taken down that site.  I was thinking about it today, so decided to repost it: The Perfect Email Program People occasionally ask me what I&#8217;d like to see in the perfect email program.

		<title>AP takes hyphen out of email!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today the AP decided to change its style guide to drop the use of a hyphen in &#8220;e-mail&#8221;.  I feel vindicated. When I was writing my books, lo those many years ago, I bucked the prevailing style guides and left the hyphen out.  The hyphen in &#8220;e-mail&#8221; just looked wrong to me.  &#8220;Besides&#8221;, I said, [...]]]></description>

		<title>New blog: Glyph of the Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh yeah.  Hubby says I should mention that I am writing a new blog: Glyph of the Day, where I plan/hope to write about a different writing system every day, hopefully briefly. My goal is to give one &#8220;Whoa!&#8221; each day; if I can&#8217;t do that, I&#8217;d like to at least give one &#8220;huh, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prediction: cellphone cameras</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is common to do retrospectives at the end of the calendar year, but I&#8217;m more interested in looking forward.  Here&#8217;s a prediction: ten years from now, it will be common, ordinary, and routine for people to use their cellphones&#8217; camera to help them see.  I expect that people will use them as magnifying glasses [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rugzetta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As mentioned, my husband and I went to Turkey last summer.  In Turkey, we saw a lot of beautiful rugs with my husband coveted, but they were more expensive than we were ready to cope with. Like he does every year, my husband had a birthday in the fall.  I started thinking about what I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turkey with the nephews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As our most recent &#8212; and final &#8212; instalment of our rent-a-nephew program, we took two nephews to Turkey this summer. Turkey was surprisingly difficult for us to travel in because we didn&#8217;t speak the language.  I realize that that&#8217;s probably how it goes for most tourists, but we have generally been able to have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Artists, how do you work?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am really curious to hear how people &#8220;do&#8221; art. The image of artists that I absorbed as a kid was that their physical being acted as a vehicle for their subconscious, which told them what to do.  They drew/painted/played/composed/carved what they did because that&#8217;s what their subconscious compelled them to do. I don&#8217;t really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Predictions for 2020</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh what the heck, since everybody else is doing it, here are my predictions for 2020: Essentially all cell phones will have built-in video cameras, GPS, and have voice controls. At least one country will nationalize music in some way, e.g. paying the music companies a per capita fee for their citizens every year.  Some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Early days of the computer revolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was talking to a friend of mine who I&#8217;m guessing was born in the late 1970s, and mentioned that I had been using computers since 1968ish and email since 1974.  (Yes, really.) I saw a lightbulb go off over his head.  He knew I was in my mid-forties, and knew I was a computer [...]]]></description>
