		<title>Minimalism vs. Technology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to say, pare down the number of books that clutter my house, I am compelled to by an e-reader. In this slim piece of plastic I can house a library of over 30,000 books &#8212; thereby eliminating the stacks of books on my floor and shoved into my bookcases. But here&#8217;s the [...]

		<title>Efficiency vs. Simplicity: Remembering to DO with LESS</title>
