		<title>Fast food trash bin too posh for plates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Look, jerk. I&#8217;m made of brushed steel. I have bevels. Ground smooth, not a rough edge on me. My refinement is as plain as day. I was designed by a very famous firm in the Hoboken region of New Jersey, and it shows.
Not only do I look fabulous, but I&#8217;ve got the goods on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>13 year-old uses Walkman for a week, doesn&#8217;t know tape has second side</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An interesting piece from BBC news begins, &#8220;When the Sony Walkman was launched, 30 years ago this week, it started a revolution in portable music. But how does it compare with its digital successors? The Magazine invited 13-year-old Scott Campbell to swap his iPod for a Walkman for a week.&#8221;
It took me three days to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Information design: the best email I&#8217;ve ever read</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This email does what it says: it provides an instant view of what&#8217;s going on now, what was going on before, and what&#8217;s going to happen next. It&#8217;s a complete communication that leaves no room for uncertainty. Both the text and typography are clear and concise, using everything that&#8217;s needed and nothing that isn&#8217;t.
My hat&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coffee machine apparently unsure user really wants coffee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a funny post from F My Life:
Today, at the bank, I went to get some coffee from their machine. I gave it my money and pressed the buttons but nothing was happening. After banging on the machine for ten minutes and calling a teller over, a little boy reached up on his tippy toes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Physics breakthrough: WordPress image uploader circumvents Pauli exclusion principle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently I&#8217;m using WordPress 2.7.1&#8217;s Browser and Flash uploaders simultaneously—quantum mechanics be damned:

Proposed solution: figure out which one I&#8217;m using and tell me.

		<title>Adhesive arrogance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This piece of paper stuck to a new refrigerator is really arrogant on the part of the manufacturer. The message I get from this is, &#8220;We used tape on your fridge that we know damages it. Now you have to spend extra time and money to fix our mistake. Guess what? We don&#8217;t care!&#8221;
Not only [...]]]></description>

		<title>You&#8217;ll poke your eye out!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my dogs scratched her cornea yesterday when she bonked her head against the coffee table. An emergency trip to the vet yielded a tube of antibiotic ointment that I have to put in her eye twice a day for the next week.

This stuff is specifically for eyes&#8212;including the eyes of children and pets. [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Are Here: Spatial List Ordering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So according to this department store sign, if I want to go to floor 1, I go&#8230; up?
This sign is effectively a map and should therefore be ordered to depict the physical space it represents instead of how we count. Put the bottom floor on the bottom, where it actually is.

		<title>Gallery of horrible CAPTCHAs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Check out this gallery of the &#34;Worst CAPTCHAs Of All Time on docstoc. Some are funny while others are so bad they could be jokes.
(CAPTCHAs are those pictures of distorted text that you sometimes have to re-type to prove you&#8217;re human instead of a spambot.)
