		<description>&gt; Ted Bunn has a blog! Who knew?

Practically nobody.  It&#039;s mostly a form of write-only memory.  Thanks for helping to change that!

		<description>I got no chance for a write in box at that NAS survey. I did do it several weeks ago, maybe they changed. I thought he choices were garbage personally, very much slanted to odd things.</description>

		<description>Wow. Those shoes are hideous.

But as aesthetics go, I&#039;d rather have people with strange taste in shoes than in buildings. Ugly buildings are horrible, and prominent, and long-lasting...

I&#039;ll second a vote for Sorel boots, although I&#039;m not in a climate that needs them at the moment. When I&#039;m in very cold temps I&#039;m in the mountains, and then need plastics to wear crampons.

And I could pretty much replace my wardrobe for $877. Not including outdoor gear, though.</description>

		<description>The only possible useful footwear at this time are &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uggaustralia.com/index.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;UGGs indoors&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sorel.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sorel winter boots for outdoors!!&lt;/a&gt;  All other footwear are pointless, useless, and wasteful.  Personal favorites are the Ugg Classic or Ultra Short and the Sorel Caribou Reserve since it has been in the very cold (-Fº) here.  For $877 i could also get a new Antarctic down parka, several new polypro layers, and awesome snow pants; all new from Sierra Trading Post.</description>

		<description>Whee! I agree Sean, you should take some less serious approaches to conveying the information.

I&#039;m thinking you could hit the gym and then do a nude presentation on the morphology of black holes.

Or maybe a slow, circular exploration of the delicate topology of the CMB.

At seminars, you could even play an interactive game 0f find the dark energy.</description>
