		<description><![CDATA[Is it just me, or is Home Depot going downhill? I remember a few years ago how Home Depot was a really fun store. The shelves were well stocked and organized, the selection was great, the staff could point you to anything, the displays were fresh and fun to look at, the garden plants were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just noticed that Argonne National Lab is on Twitter. Hmm, makes sense I guess. Maybe the United States of America should also tweet. Oh, I see it already does ;-). (btw, I&#8217;m allowed to use smileys on my own site.) Argonne is also on facebook.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read an op-ed in the NYT by David Brooks called Harmony and the Dream. He talks about collectivist vs individualist cultures. He suggests that the USA, as the most individualistic country, has a lot to learn from collectivist Asian societies. This made me think of W. Edwards Deming, the American who helped reorganize [...]]]></description>

The author controls all edits and can even choose to copyright an article (although it&#8217;s still free to read).
