		<description><![CDATA[In a surge of holiday-weekend coding, Andrew Plotkin (Zarf) has progressed his Quixe project to the beta stage and released it for evaluation.  If you&#8217;re very familiar with the excellent Parchment project, you&#8217;ll know that Parchment provides a Javascript implementation of the Z-machine, which is one of the major virtual machines used in the interactive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had not come across this before, but there is an online analyzer for prose that purports to determine if the author is male or female, apparently by counting the frequency of certain keywords in your text. So I scraped the front page of my blog and fed it into the analyzer.  Although the count [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a very interesting website that purports to test your unconscious association between different classes of things.  Many of the tests are to identify whether you have a implicit preference for certain types of people (black or white, old or young, slim or overweight, etc.) but there are other tests that operate on names or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All &#8220;tower defense&#8221; games are evil, compulsive time-suckers, but some are more evil than others.  My entire extended family has become addicted to PopCap&#8217;s Plants vs. Zombies, which is quite possibly the most perfectly-refined TD game in existence. I&#8217;ve had brief relationships with several other TDs in the past, from Desktop Tower Defense to several [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve promoted Greedy Goblin and his website in the past due to the very interesting economic analyses he&#8217;s put out, mostly stemming from his skill in making valid and insightful analogies between real world economics and the simplified economic model in the game of World of Warcraft.  Unfortunately, I think he&#8217;s been way off recently.  [...]]]></description>
