		<title>Competitive Dog Jumping Hits Houston This Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DockDogs rolled into Houston today. One of the downsides of an office overlooking Discovery Green is that when something really interesting comes along you&#8217;re supposed to try to ignore it. But who can ignore dogs jumping 22-24 feet in Extreme Vertical, Speed Retrieve and Big Air events? It&#8217;s going on all weekend. Details over yonder.

		<title>Paul Simon sings Late in the Evening with the Roots and the Antibalas Afrobeat horns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m not big on the late night talk scene, but I might have to start keeping an ear to the ground if stuff like this is going to turn up there on a regular basis. Jimmy Fallon&#8217;s new gig had Paul Simon sing Late in the Evening, backed by his house band the Roots and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft Bing: The Decider of Search Engines, Saving Us from Confusing Keywords and Queries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw my first Bing commercial this morning (embedded below). For the uninitiated, Bing is Microsoft&#8217;s latest do-over attempt at making a search engine to compete with Google. I haven&#8217;t used Bing long enough to make any evaluation on its quality. It looks for all the world to be just another search engine. The ads, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whither the Music Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got to hang around the apartment for the first time in a while with nothing pressing to do but run through some music blogs and catch up on what&#8217;s happening. I was also sort of half-watching the 2006 documentary Before the Music Dies on Hulu (embedded below):

		<title>Google unveils Google Wave, Redefining the Interface for Collaboration Online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google unveiled Google Wave a new collaboration environment at the Google IO Conference last week. Video of the demonstration is embedded below:

The feature set is nominally prosaic, marginal improvements on existing functions, i.e. better IM, better collaboration, better e-mail threads, etc. - but the implementation is a tantalizing glimpse at a braver newer interface that [...]]]></description>
