		<title>Amazon MP3 Store</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read on MacRumors that Amazon had a DRM-free mp3 store. The first major issue (by comparison to iTMS) I saw was the added hassle of downloading the songs and then manually adding them to your iTunes. It turns out that they have a little downloader program that handles the downloading and importing automatically. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>English Book Stores in Taipei (台北書店)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love reading, so when I got to Taiwan the first thing I did was look for the best English language bookstores. I did this in Hong Kong also (if you&#8217;re wondering, it&#8217;s Swindon Books in TST). After meeting with a friend from Rice, she told me that she thought the Page One in Taipei [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taiwan: Introduction to My Experiences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been in Taiwan for about four weeks now. After a bit of confusion getting to the apartment, I had no major issues. I&#8217;m here for just the summer, learning Chinese at ICLP at the National Taiwanese University (台大). Classes didn&#8217;t start for two weeks, and I spent most of that time just bumming around [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reopening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tyler Blog&#8217;s new domain home is www.divergio.com. You may have wondered why the site went down for a long time. The answer is simple: I let the domain name expire and then was lazy. Neocaridina.com was going to expire, and I felt that it was too long and complicated a domain name for most people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry about the downtime, I was down for almost a month because I switched webhosts and ran into some unexpected problems. It took three hours of troubleshooting, but I think I am mostly up, now.]]></description>

		<title>Visiting Chris in Sendai (day one, waterfalls)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hearing Chris&#8217;s descriptions of Sendai early on in the program, I had always thought it would be fun to visit him and see some of the beautiful sights there. Still, shinkansen tickets as expensive as they are, I didn&#8217;t know if I would be able to do it. After discovering the JR East pass, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Osaka part 1 (Lab visit, hiking)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This half-week or so I went to Osaka. My Japanese teacher is from Osaka, so so many times she would tell me about how great Osaka is and how the people in Osaka are so nice and how it is a great place to visit. So, when my research advisor invited me to visit his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disney Sea and dead Sunday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy&#8217;s First Law of Equivalent Exchange.&#8221; Alphonse Elric Well, I had such an amazing weekend last week that I suppose it&#8217;s natural that this one wasn&#8217;t as good. That&#8217;s not fair, exactly, this weekend was actually pretty good, I&#8217;ve just been sick. I had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kusatsu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to believe that this all happened in one day. I woke up at 7:00 to get ready for breakfast. Breakfast was orange juice with some kind of meat cake and a vegetable cake, uncooked bacon (or something like that, weird ham), salad, and fried eggs on bean sprouts. It wasn&#8217;t bad, I just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Niigata ni ikimashita.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I paid 100 yen to use this computer for 15 minutes, so you better be happy that I am making a post. Forgive me for errors, too, because this is a strange japanese keyboard and i must type rapidly. The 100yen/15minutes internet machine I used. It has funny slogans on it like: &#8220;It can enjoy [...]]]></description>
