		<description><![CDATA[

The April/May double issue of Asimov&#8217;s Science Fiction Magazine, containing my story &#8220;Adrift,&#8221; is now in stores.  This is what the cover looks like, complete with a list of other people I am totally stoked to be sharing a table of contents with!

		<title>Come On Baby, Put the Rock in the House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that the Winter Olympics are here and people in America, briefly, care somewhat about curling again, I am suddenly reminded of the great good fortune we all had that the last Winter Olympics happened in a year when Jonathan Coulton was forcing himself to write a new song every week.  And one week he [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on Don McLeroy, and How Texas Rules Textbooks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a lovely bit of validation for my &#8220;This man must lose his job for the good of the country!&#8221; rant of two days ago, the New York Times Magazine has just published a ten page article on Texas education guidelines, with profiles of  Don McLeroy, Gail Lowe, and Cynthia Dunbar.  (Dunbar is perhaps the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Small Thing You Can Do That Will Improve the U.S. Educational System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been blogging a lot this year, but I&#8217;m breaking radio silence now because this one is big.  A guy from Texas who you might never have heard of is running for re-election, and unusual as it might seem, it is strongly in your interest that he not win.
Don McLeroy is currently on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hunting Strategies of Aquatic Mammals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a neat video going around of a hunting strategy pursued by bottle-nosed dolphins in shallow waters.  They swim in tightening circles and use their tails to make fences of cloudy water to trap schools of fish:

Very cool.  But at the end of it good Mr. Attenborough pronounces that dolphins are the only known species [...]]]></description>

		<title>Favorite Comics Covers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s currently a thread on io9 about the best comic book covers of the past decade.  There&#8217;s a ton of beautiful work on that list, but one cover that was immediately notable to me by its absence was the cover to LOSERS #26, by Jock.  Maybe it was the timeliness &#8212; it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For months now this ad has been reliably showing up on my Facebook profile.
