		<title>Galactica: Sabotage smash-up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wired reports on Katie King&#8217;s excellent video Galactica: Sabotage, a kind of mash-up/homage to Spike Jones&#8217; video for the Beastie Boys&#8217; song Sabotage.  The new video substitutes clips from the recently ended Battlestar Galactica series, but in a way that almost perfectly tracks the images from Jones&#8217; original video.

Below is a side-by-side comparison of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>(Batman&#8217;s) advice for new law students, part VI: &#8220;always mind your surroundings&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One common mistake of new law students is conclusory argumentation, as discussed in this post on avoiding &#8220;Monty Python&#8221; argumentation.  Another common mistake is incomplete analysis.  An essay answer might include analysis that scratches the surface but doesn&#8217;t explore deeper.  But it&#8217;s crucial to consider the strengths and weaknesses of any argument, and to explore [...]]]></description>

		<title>1934: Building a brick &amp; mortar archive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The logo I&#8217;ve always used for the site is an image of the National Archives Building.  Amazingly, Congress did not approve such a building until 1926.  The architect was John Russell Pope, who also designed the Jefferson Memorial and the National Gallery of Art.  Ground was broken in 1931 and the building was mostly completed [...]]]></description>

		<title>The hindsight of archives: &#8220;Popular Science&#8221; &amp; incorrect technology predictions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sci-fi and tech site IO9.com reports that Popular Science Magazine is now making its archives available online dating back to 1872.  The archives can be searched either at the magazine&#8217;s website or via Google Books.  In the archive, I was able to quickly find articles of historical interest, each showing a technological prediction that didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>The most valuable course I ever took</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As one description of this YouTube video suggests, those of us under 40 may not remember a world where book reports, term papers, and essays were written on typewriters.  But I do.  My Bar Mitzvah gift was a typewriter, a Smith Corona with a removable ribbon.  At that time, removable ribbons were a [...]]]></description>

		<title>RIP Doug Fieger, 57, leader of The Knack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[RIP Doug Fieger, leader of 70s pop band The Knack, who died of cancer.  The Knack wrote classic power pop tunes combining a gritty edge with a Beatlesque gloss, including classics My Sharona and Good Girls Don&#8217;t.
Like many teens learning to play guitar in the 70s, I spent far too many hours torturing my parents and neighbors [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did statutory damages destroy the music industry?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have statutory damages become a narcotic that helped to destroy the music industry?  As reported elsewhere, file-sharer Joel Tenenbaum was found liable for $675,000 by a jury for copyright infringement of 30 songs.  The basis for the damages is the statutory damages provision of the Copyright Act, which permits copyright owners to seek between $750 [...]]]></description>
