		<title>Yet another Tzipi report&#8230; 2/17/12</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, after another long hiatus of about two months, Tzipi showed up in my yard with Mississippi.  O.J. was screeping in the trees so Tzipi looked a bit nervous.  He still flew to my hands twice as per his custom; once to get a nut that he ate on the bird bath, and [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s the hebrew transliteration:

		<title>frickin&#8217; iron bars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My latest adventure inside my brain was both frustrating and productive.  
I was dreaming that I was at a conference when I became lucid.  I thought, okay, time to float up, but it actually took a few times before I could float.  This seemed ridiculous as I knew I was dreaming and [...]]]></description>

		<title>flying in dreams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At this point, every time I realize I&#8217;m dreaming, I immediately try to fly.  Part of me feels this is incredibly unoriginal, but it is so fun that I can&#8217;t seem to think of something else to try.
I had another weird experience recently which involved lucid dreaming and flying.  I dreamt I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>families</title>
		<description><![CDATA[K and I have noted recently that the structure of the middle-class family in the U.S. has changed.  Particularly, the expectations and desires of young adults today (which I&#8217;ll identify as anyone 18-30) are completely different from our generation.  This stems from entirely different parenting styles than we experienced.  
When we were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tzipi lives!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tzipi came back.
After several months of not seeing him, I had to face the cold fact that Tzipi might be dead. Of course, I hoped he had just moved away because of O.J.&#8217;s bullying, but life in the wild being what it is, it was just as likely that he was gone for good.
I felt [...]]]></description>

		<title>Earthquakes, Fire Danger, Police Brutality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, man.
Strange times here in Oakland.
I&#8217;ve been caught in a web of twitter feeds for days now.  This started last week, not with Occupy Oakland, but with the second earthquake in 24 hours at the same spot.  I was in an old warehouse at the time under a rickety wooden loft and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tzipi?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t seened Tzipi for about a month now.   I still see his kids and Mississippi, although less than I did.  But Tzipi just seems to be gone.  One day I was at the end of the street and I thought I saw a jay that was Tzipi.  I came [...]]]></description>

		<title>Techism Sexism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been migrating from being a web designer to a web developer for a while now.  About 20 years ago, I was what was known then as a computer programmer.  There was no Internet, no &#8220;front-end&#8221; and &#8220;back-end&#8221; code &#8212; heck, I barely knew about object-oriented programming.  But there was something that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
