		<title>I choose shorts&#8230;.shorts!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most recent episode of Community, NBC&#8217;s comedy about a rag-tag (Breakfast Club-like) group of community college goers, has cemented its reputation as one of the hot new TV shows. 
In the episode, which is called Physical Education, the main storyline involves one of the character&#8217;s discomfort when his gym teacher tells the class they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Destiny.
That&#8217;s the word they used to describe Sidney Crosby&#8217;s magical overtime goal in the final Canada vs. USA hockey game of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. 
This was a final watched by over 80% of Canadians (according to CTV) and that&#8217;s an gargantuan figure. In my post, I&#8217;d estimated 15 million. No way did I anticipate [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Too Shall Pass by OK Go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Words cannot describe how awesome this music video is. 
OK Go, by the way, is the American band that won a Grammy for their music video, Here It Goes Again, in which they sang the song while dancing on treadmills.

		<description><![CDATA[Last event of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics: Men&#8217;s Ice Hockey final. 
 
Anybody who doesn&#8217;t comprehend how important hockey is to Canadians simply needs to watch this commercial.

The Canada vs. USA game which happened earlier in the non-elimination rounds attracted over 10 million Canadian television viewers. That&#8217;s almost a third of the population. This game [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canada vs. Russia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here we are. Quarter finals for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic games. 
Canada versus Russia.

There&#8217;s just so much history between the two nations and their hockey&#8212;most of it stemming from the Cold War and what happened in 1972. 
Yesterday, when Canada played Germany, something like 10 million Canadians were watching the game. That&#8217;s like a third [...]]]></description>

		<title>That&#8217;s a slippery slope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;Why do you wear such baggy tops?&#8221; I asked, holding her gray top to my chest so I could measure.
&#8220;Are you kidding? D&#8217;you know how tiny that would look on you?&#8221;
I raised an eyebrow. &#8220;Really?&#8221; 
&#8220;Try it on.&#8221;
&#8220;No.&#8221;
&#8220;Just to see.&#8221;
&#8220;No.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;ll be funny.&#8221;
&#8220;No.&#8221;
&#8220;Why not?&#8221;
I sighed dramatically. 
&#8220;First it&#8217;s a little innocent, &#8216;Try this on. It&#8217;ll be [...]]]></description>

		<title>That&#8217;s for suckers, yo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On February 9th, 2010, I officially accepted a position with the Princeton mathematics department&#8212;to begin in September. 
 
And so now, hopefully the reason why I took my blog offline since November 2009 will become abundantly clear. I suppose I just couldn&#8217;t risk any of the potential hiring committees googling me, only to find out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hibernation mode</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just so you guys know, I&#8217;m going to temporarily shut-off my blog in a few days, in the sense that it&#8217;ll redirect to my work page. I&#8217;ll probably remain shut-off until January-February 2010, but we&#8217;ll see how things go.
The temporary closure is for personal reasons. But it&#8217;s nothing bad, so don&#8217;t worry.  
As always, [...]]]></description>
