		<title>I donated my baby to science</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, to live in a university town. This week I got a call from the University of Texas Infant Cognition Laboratory asking if Ro might be willing to participate in a study on infant perception. This, of course, tapped right into my scientist side (always looking for data &#8211; archaeology isn&#8217;t called a social &#8220;science&#8221; [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Still Bill&#8221;
I am embarrassed to say that I would not have recognized Bill Withers by name before I saw this doc. I certainly recognized his songs though, and even more embarrassingly, subsequently realized I always thought of him as having been a commercial flash in the pan and not much more.  Like any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sunday March 15
&#8220;Reel Shorts 3&#8243;
Another nice reel.  The standouts:  &#8220;Thick as Thieves&#8221;, a comedy where a mugger holds up a guy in an alley and they hit it off.  So much so that they team up, hijinks ensue.  Also, &#8220;Wing It&#8221;, where two guardian angels guarding two respective parties in a drug deal gone bad [...]]]></description>

		<title>SXSW 2009 Film Reviews, Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Year 13 is upon me, and so are the annual writeups of what I&#8217;ve caught.  I&#8217;ve slowed down my pace a bit, and downgraded myself back to a Film Pass, but I&#8217;m still doing it.  No volunteering yet for me this year, but I&#8217;m still considering it, depending on how the demands on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big pic refresh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just put a ton of new baby pics up.   My account at Flickr expired, so I thought I&#8217;d give Picasa a try.   Let me know your feedback on how it goes, if you prefer one or the other from your POV.  Try the control on the sidebar at right, or feel free to check out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death &amp; Winter Carpentry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Death may be putting it a bit dramtically, but nothing good is ever created without a little destruction, right?  Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve been up to the past few weekends:
Ken&#8217;s Shed
Enjoy,

		<title>Moving to the big(er) bed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As it turns out, bedtime is a big deal for babies.   So, I am blogging about the switch from the co-sleeper to the big crib. Ro has grown out of her little co-sleeper next to the bed (see photo 1), and I have been debating about what to do next. I briefly considered keeping her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Set phasers to cautiously optimistic.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My position?  I&#8217;m not a huge J.J. follower, so I can&#8217;t really bank on that.  The trailers are blipverty, so again, not much help.
I can&#8217;t help but feel they should have let the franchise rest a little longer a-la Doctor Who.  What I don&#8217;t want to see is yet another ill advised, half-baked Hollywood fishing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, we&#8217;ve successfully wrapped up Babytour &#8216;08.  Thanks to everyone along the way who fed us, loaned us something, entertained us, got us drunk, or what have you.  We had an excellent time seeing everyone again, and enjoying yet another beautiful MI Fall.  Now we are truly prepared for (Texas) Winter.     Too bad [...]]]></description>
