		<title>&#8220;Motion Capture&#8221; for Text-to-Speech?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a random thought over the weekend, and while I suspect it&#8217;s not original, I couldn&#8217;t find anyone working on it.

		<title>Disk Hack</title>

		<title>Goodbye, Christopher Hitchens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christopher Hitchens died today of pneumonia (itself caused by his esophageal cancer), at the age of 62.
