		<itunes:summary>Gnomepoiesis is a combination of two Greek words: gnome- the organ by which one perceives the world, poiesis- creation. The construction of intellect, acumen, conception. We are psychonauts- our most most necessary conveyance through life are the mental vehicles we construct.
In our society, most of the responsibility of building of happy, healthy minds falls to public education. But is that the best way to go? Can one learn more as an autodidact, relying on their own motivation to educate themselves? Has the statistic-loving world of standardized testing shortchanged students about to enter a world that cares a lot more about creativity and problem-solving?
With the building of minds as a platform, the Gnomepoiesis Podcast seeks to answer these questions and others by interviewing those intellects still hot off the American educational grill: high-school seniors.</itunes:summary>

This blog will undergo another overhaul. I no longer like the current layout.
We will also change up subject matter a little bit.

		<description><![CDATA[Its finals week, so I&#8217;ve been quite busy with stuff. Complex, interesting stuff. Stuff that hurts to think about, because I have though about said stuff so much. Stuff about which I have no desire to speak of any longer.
The reason why I am happier is because our president-elect want to appoint a scientist, a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been very busy. I&#8217;ve got finals this coming week, and everything seems to be happening at once.
I promise that I will update with engines of Industry Pt II and III, along with a few other tidbits that are as of now half written.
Discuss: Art.

		<description><![CDATA[I did some stream of consciousness writing last night. Enjoy.
The room he sat down in was like an asylum:  whitewashed walls covered in the dents of scuffs of spasmodic episodes uncountable. The room was, in a sense, and asylum for hi: a place where he could go to find that immutable silence that he so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a while now, I&#8217;ve had a Big Rant building up inside of me. Detroit&#8217;s automakers said they needed a $50 billion bailout. Who do they think they are to demand that? When times were running high they had every chance, and every reason, to innovate. The factories of GM, Ford, and Chrysler could have, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, I&#8217;ve been on a industrial/post-industrial/subculture kick. I&#8217;ve read &#8220;The User&#8217;s Guide to Steampunk&#8221; by Bruce Sterling. I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ve mentioned Steampunk on here before, but there is little that I can say about it that hasn&#8217;t already been said by Sterling in his comprehensive essay. Second, going by Sterling&#8217;s advice, I read [...]]]></description>

Keeping pace with this tradition, the office of the President-Elect has released a video-blog, with a very competent-looking and rational-sounding Barack Obama . Note that the office of the president-elect has been branded &#8220;change.gov.&#8221; It was a wise [...]]]></description>

What is on my mind right now: why is Obama&#8217;s election [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It little profits an idle king
As Tennyson once wrote
Tennyson, the Lauriet
Foremost celebrator of the sublime
When I perform his poems, its not enough for me to say them
They cascade from my mouth in an avalanche,
With a power that I don’t think is my own
Because he can make the words that surpassingly beautiful
I’m going to take you [...]]]></description>
