		<title>We’re the commons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have any economists modeled the consuming public/workforce as a public good? It seems to me that corporations are playing a game-theoretic game in which they individually want to pay less money and employ fewer people while simultaneously hoping other corporations will keep employing people and paying them enough to maintain a customer base for their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cyberpunk Apple Consumerism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting perspective, but how is it different from any other infrastructure? Specialization and abstraction are trade-offs for a complex society. Turn on the faucet, water comes out. People don’t want to have to care where it comes from, how it got clean, or how it got to their tap. Same for information: press a button, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thankful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This. I ate too much turkey, I ate too much corn, I ate too much pudding and pie, I'm stuffed up with muffins and much too much stuffin', I'm probably going to die. I piled up my plate and I ate and I ate, but I wish I had known when to stop, for I'm [...]]]></description>

		<title>4S?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Really torn. On the one hand, my phone seems to occasionally decide to drain its battery in ~2 hours. Otherwise, it’s fine. A little slow, maybe. But worth dropping $399 on a new phone? What with all the labor and material sourcing issues, it’s hard to justify. I’m even up in the middle of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>iAnnotate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent several hours with iAnnotate tonight. The verdict: lots of capability, lots of weird, non-standard interactions, and lots of weird, non-standard UI elements. In other words, it feels like a Windows app. The main thing I'd really like to be able to do is use two fingers to scroll and turn pages while in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buddy list begone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, the buddy list. Remember when we actually liked advertising to our friends that we were online, and maybe even wanted to chat? That was high-tech — in 1995. The buddy list (also known as presence) is a kind of social transparency, and while we still need social transparency mechanisms built in to our communications [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reverse scroll(wheel)ing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A funny thing happened. When I first tried a mouse in Lion with reverse scrolling on the scroll wheel, I hated it. So I changed it. But within hours I found myself wanting to flip it the other way. Maybe because I'm focusing more on content on less on the scrollbar? (Although I turned on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tweeting to myself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The next time you think, “Oh, I should tweet that!”, don’t. Experience life as private moments rather than as a performance. #mindfulness – Me, oddly unironically on Twitter Some astute observers of Noah (often called “friends” or “stalkers”) may have noticed that I have been tweeting much less than I often have. This is deliberate, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aesthetics, math, and music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been talking a lot lately with a couple friends about what imbues music with emotion, why certain chords and intervals are more pleasant sounding than others, whether expectations about resolutions are learned or somehow innate (e.g. I–IV–V7 seems to naturally want to only go to one place: I), and other similar questions. I’ve been [...]]]></description>

		<title>On atoms and bits: the dying metaphor of the filesystem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week on Twitter (during Steve Jobs’s WWDC keynote) I lamented the death of the filesystem. I want to flesh out a few of my thoughts on the subject. I think one of the reasons I like the filesystem so much is that I’ve actually come to believe the metaphor. When I think about tags, [...]]]></description>
