		<title>Creative Commons and My Mission Statement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi, my name is Tony Marshall. I&#8217;ve been writing songs for about 8 years, and performing for a lot longer. I have over a dozen album&#8217;s worth of material, and nearly a dozen&#8217;s worth of material written under pseudonyms. Not all of them are very good, but there are a few that I can say [...]]]></description>

		<title>my last show at Barley Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight is officially the last show I ever play at Barley Island, and most likely the last time I give them any of my business.
I&#8217;ve been playing at Barley Island since I was 18 years old. I met my wife at Barley Island while playing music. I&#8217;ve lived within walking distance of the place for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Response to Phillip Glass&#8217; &#8220;Metamorphosis One&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Logic or common sense? Pragmatism or precedent non respectfully.
In sated comfort I recline as a being of fashion.
In hallowed halls I wallow in the agonizing indifference of youth
a paradigm by which only I can change, non respectfully.
Naming the ages of this and that, states of the past
evolving ever after. Our perspective; catalyst to the evolving [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coming Soon to Afterblog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve decided it’s time to reel in Afterblog, and make it a place that people may actually like to visit on a regular basis. This of course would mean regular updates. I tend to promise regular updates about every 6 months or so, and these promises tend to be perennially sandwiched between three or four [...]]]></description>

		<title>Glenn Beck at the Dawn of the Apocalypse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There won&#8217;t be enough space on Glenn Beck&#8217;s bulletin board tonight.
I wonder if there is a cerebral defect around which the &#8220;patriotic&#8221; portion of his brain has pushed all other gray matter aside with red, white, and blue scar tissue. That part of his brain must be quivering right now as I write this. He [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Dog Lover&#8217;s Guide to Computer Adoption</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
At the heart of any computing device is a simple boolean duality, either a statement is true or it is false. There is no conjecture or double guessing, no psychological struggle with low self-esteem or attempted reconciliation of past mistakes, no compulsive tendencies. A computer&#8217;s entire existence is predicated upon the simple notion that things are simply &#8220;on&#8221; or &#8220;off&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rhythm of the Saints</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Super Bowl is the biggest annual spectacle in America. Super Bowl Sunday has all but reached national holiday status, and I&#8217;m not talking Columbus Day, I mean the religious ones. The ones where a deity of your choice will reach directly into your pocketbook and buy financial sacrifices for the God of consumer culture.

		<title>Why My Music Is Free</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot lately about how to make things work. This thinking extends to pretty much every area of my life, and after a lengthy hiatus, I decided to finally turn my mind back to music and art and inevitably this site.
I&#8217;ve accepted that, given my current bargaining power concerning booking shows, that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coding Informational Selfhood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Information As Essence, Essentially As Information
Net neutrality is not a technical issue. It&#8217;s not a battle between telecom titans and online content providers. What&#8217;s at stake in net neutrality is not the future of social networking or the legal means to obtain multimedia. Net neutrality is an issue of modern selfhood and it&#8217;s shifting definition.
Warehouses [...]]]></description>

		<title>Darth Vader with a DUI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night while drowsy eyed
it was decided,
that were Darth Vader to get a DUI,
he would sit solemnly behind a bar
beside a moped that works one day and not the next,
and with labored breath,
and black helmet gleaming
in orange glowing street light,
he would consider every possible outcome
from every real and exaggerated personal failure.
With so much power,
wrapped up [...]]]></description>
