		<title>Converting LaTeX Tables to Word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s something I never thought I&#039;d have to do, but a recent journal submission requires that tables be submitted in .doc format &#8212; despite the fact that they fire everything back into LaTeX when they&#039;re typesetting the final journal anyway! Well, I guess there&#039;s just no arguing, so I had to figure out how to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will Buzz Change Google?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not going to rehash the Google Buzz fiasco. But by this point we&#039;ve learned a few interesting tidbits about how this disaster happened:

Google rushed the product to launch, bypassing their normal testing process.
They tested Buzz internally with their 20,000 employees, but no one sounded the privacy alarm, or perhaps no one sounded it loudly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Excellent TF2 Cartoon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve mentioned my borderline unhealthy interest in Team Fortress 2 before. I&#039;m also interested in the genres of video that have sprung up around the game &#8211; frag videos, griefing, machinima. And now an inspired and hilarious cartoon that I think you&#039;ll appreciate even if you&#039;ve never played the game, but especially if you have:

		<title>Sizing Up Privacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case you haven&#039;t heard, Google&#039;s Buzz service is the latest privacy apocalypse &#8211; check out a nice short summary here, or the details here, here, or here. Now Google has responded by tweaking its service to address some but not all of the privacy concerns. And yet there are still some fairly horrifying implications [...]]]></description>

		<title>Forget Wikipedia: Who Writes Linux?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


(via Slashdot)
According to an article in APC, of the more than 2.8 million lines of code contributed to the Linux kernel over the last year or so, 75% were written by paid developers. Considering the business ecosystem that&#039;s grown up around Linux over the last 10 years, this should come as no surprise. But still, [...]]]></description>

		<title>CSCW Preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ll be at CSCW in Savannah in a couple of weeks to present a paper I wrote with Coye entitled: Readers are Not Free-Riders: Reading as a Form of Participation on Wikipedia
Anyway, in preparation for the &#034;Madness&#034; session, and because I had some creative juices to spill, I spent some hours working on this:

		<title>Jaron Lanier Has a New Book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
John Tierney reviews Jaron Lanier&#039;s brand new book &#8211; You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto &#8211; in yesterday&#039;s New York Times. I ordered it today. I have to admit I&#039;m pretty wary of any new book with the word &#034;Manifesto&#034; in the title. Seems awfully cocky to me. Reading Tierney&#039;s review, I suspect Lanier&#039;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zuckerberg Proclaims That Privacy is Dead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In what was the least surprising and most self-serving statement of the weekend, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has proclaimed that privacy is no longer a social norm in our world. That&#039;s right. Privacy&#8230; GONE. Over. We&#039;re all now happy to put the most intimate and minute details of our lives on the internet, and we [...]]]></description>
