		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m very excited to launch a site and community I&#8217;ve been working on with Ted Meissner (The Secular Buddhist). This site is one piece of community building for Secular Buddhists, and this site is providing a lot toward that end. The need for such a site came up over and over again in conversations on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recall how excited I was 15 years ago when I first signed up for NASA's press releases online. I still get those press releases, but because of social networks, I also get to talk directly with scientists online through Twitter, Facebook, various chat tools, and scientific sites. Even more exiting, I get to be a part of discovery!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Originally, WordPress was design to publish simple content like blogs. There wasn't much to it, and the interface was so easy to use, we just didn't expect much from it. There was a time when it didn't matter if you used WordPress, Blogger, or just threw up an HTML page on your site. At that time, I would never have recommended anyone use it as an actual site.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing we can be certain of is that we will all die. Though some may disagree with me, death is not unfair or untimely. Death is the flip side of life. Everything that is living must die, sometimes sooner than later, but death does not discriminate. It treats us all with equality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember when I was about 9 years old, lying on the front lawn one warm summer night, gazing at the stars. They seemed so close, yet so far, and I had no idea how true that was. The lights I saw had traveled to my eyes for over the course of thousands to billions of years. The stars fascinated me. It was around the same time the US had landed on the moon, and I wanted them to go farther, out to another solar system.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Along comes Neil deGrasse Tyson. Neil is every bit the science advocate Carl was, and Neil's brings a delightful sense of humor and wit that we've not seen in a scientist in, well, ever I think. In addition to breaking down scientific concepts into understandable language, he explains with the same enthusiasm as Carl but the humor of a well practiced comedian. Put him with a professional comedian, and science becomes not only downright funny, but damn near pornographic (in the most humorous of ways.)]]></description>

Over the last few weeks, I have signed dozens of online petitions, sent even more emails to senators, congressman, and other government representatives. Additionally, I have shared my activities and provided links so others could join me in these very important causes.]]></description>
