		<title>summer reading 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I did last year, I&#8217;ve compiled a list of what I read this summer. The summer months are always a chance for me to unwind (one of the benefits of being a teacher!) and catch up on reading.

		<title>on priorities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m taking a 21-day break (minimum) from Facebook. Here&#8217;s why. I&#8217;ve been spending too much time obsessing (there&#8217;s no other word for it, really) over whether people are reading my posts, commenting on them, etc. This is self-obsession, and it&#8217;s &#8230; <a href="http://www.billvanloo.com/2010/01/on-priorities/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At heart, I&#8217;m still a DJ, and what good DJ goes without making lists of favorite music? (examples: 2005, 2006, winter listening, some favorites from early 2009). As such, I&#8217;ve come up with my top records of the year. Here&#8217;s &#8230; <a href="http://www.billvanloo.com/2010/01/favorite-albums-of-2009/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>an Ypsilanti day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s activities have all been strongly grounded in my hometown of Ypsilanti. This afternoon, my wife and I saw the movie Whip It, much of which was filmed here in Ypsilanti. It was odd, and inspiring, to see familiar places &#8230; <a href="http://www.billvanloo.com/2009/10/an-ypsilanti-day/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Some recent listening…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being a DJ at heart, I tend to clump music together in terms of like-mindedness, and I&#8217;m forever putting together playlists in iTunes. Here are a few sets of music I&#8217;ve been listening to lately.

		<title>“All you have to do to cook is want to do it. The kitchen is never the problem.”</title>
