		<description><![CDATA[Today is the 100th birthday of Nicol&#225;s G&#243;mez D&#225;vila. If you don&#8217;t know his work, probably the best place to start is this page. If you don&#8217;t think you have time to take on a new author, you&#8217;re wrong: he wrote almost nothing except aphorisms - thousands of them, so you won&#8217;t run out any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Constantine Cavafy, and the 80th anniversary of the death of . . . Constantine Cavafy. I can think of many better ways to celebrate one&#8217;s 70th birthday than dying on it, but it does make for a nice symmetry.
So where&#8217;s the party? I have not seen [...]]]></description>

Each one is the brother of the title character, each is entirely too fond of his sister - Giovanni to the [...]]]></description>

All three are classics-related, and use PHP and MySQL. Though the basic kernels of the ideas for two of them go back thirty years, I finally got around to doing serious [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d been thinking of tackling some long novel I&#8217;d never read over the summer break, and having trouble deciding which of the many such books to begin with, when I noticed that today is Ivan Goncharov&#8217;s 200th birthday. That settled it. Here are some of the bits that caught my eye in the first three [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[. . . since I misread Tim Blair&#8217;s post about a Prince concert in Sydney as saying that it took place at &#8220;Allophones Arena&#8221;. I suppose Allphones is an Australian telephone company. (Don&#8217;t tell me. If I cared I could find out easily enough. In less time than it took to write this parenthesis, actually.)

To my great surprise, it still worked after I found it rattling around in the bottom of the washing machine. I of course immediately copied everything on it to my PC, thinking that it would surely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do what the grad students in Shakespeare Studies at Mary Baldwin did in the performance I saw tonight (directed by Zach Brown):
1. Leave out Fortinbras entirely.
2. Have Horatio ignore Hamlet&#8217;s plea at the end of the play, drink the poison, and die. His last words were, of course, &#8220;The rest is silence&#8221;.
The result: I believe [...]]]></description>
