		<description><![CDATA[In Jonah Lehrer&#8217;s recent book, Creativity, he dives into the scientific understanding of creativity &#8211; as a process, and its neurological roots. One of the interesting discussions centers on the finding that, &#8220;our thoughts are shackled by the familiar.&#8221; In other words, the farther we are from a problem (but not too far!), the more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For me, the last two weeks have been nothing if not exhilarating to watch the streak of Invisible Children in living rooms and social networks in ways that probably haven&#8217;t been seen before. There has been a trajectory of awareness, recoil, defense, and breakdown. It is an obviously dramatic human story, rife with equal parts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay here&#8217;s my Friday food for thought. A friend who is a commercial game producer is interested in &#8220;games for good,&#8221; the idea that games can have certain treatment effects across subgroups in society that motivate new, different, somehow &#8220;better&#8221; behaviors &#8211; or at least behaviors that feed some pathway to larger social change. ANYway, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us have enjoyed, at least once, the serendipitous confluence of wandering and delight. We&#8217;ve bumped into something utterly transfixing, without really trying, and come away enriched &#8211; with the added sense that &#8220;it was meant to be.&#8221; Maybe that&#8217;s how we met a lover (we say bonjour in a cafe, against our intent [...]]]></description>

Mieville&#8217;s second novel, set on the artfully constructed continent city of New Crobuzon, is executed in [...]]]></description>

Back in July PM issued a call for submissions, &#8220;summer postcards&#8221; &#8211; whimsical, sultry, true or imagined, PM was looking for some steamy summer reading and art.

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a mindblowing insight early in James Gleick&#8217;s &#8220;The Information&#8221; I wanted to share and fix in my mind: A mondegreen is not a transistor, inherently modern. Its modernity is harder to explain. The ingredients &#8211; songs, words, and imperfect understanding &#8211; are all as old as civilization. Yet for mondegreen&#8217;s to arise in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, off the cuff. Can television, specifically evening programming that targets women, have an impact on behavior at the population level? Can these lessons be applied to other domains? The September 2011 National Geographic makes a compelling case that, when other conditions are right, television can have broad social and economic impact. Consider the case [...]]]></description>

What else can be done with a rich and varied texture as background? Instead of a intentional color what happens when you go completely loose and forget about whether it makes sense from a composition standpoint? What happens [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend recently asked if I could make a &#8220;cat sarcophagus&#8221; for her daughter&#8217;s upcoming eighth birthday party. Along with the proposal she included a snapshot of a &#8220;cat mummy&#8221;  from London. Coincidentally, a few months prior, National Geographic had a cover issue dedicated to pet mummies of ancient Egypt, which my family had loved. So plenty [...]]]></description>
