		<title>NY random missive 02: Talking shows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	So recently I went to a couple Broadway shows and a spoken word show. Here&#8217;s the skinny:
13
Great show! It&#8217;s about this hip New York teenager who moves to Appleton, Indiana due to his parents&#8217; divorce and the interactions he has with his peers in high school. Nothing deep in terms of plot, but flawless performance [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ok, I give up!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	&#160;This time (as opposed to last time) I actually spelled it out, letter by letter&#8230;

	H&#8230;A&#8230;N&#8230;I

	

	She decided to add an extra N and inflect an E to my name.&#160; Whom am I to object?

		<title>Hellsih flight log: Oct 10 2008, NW 357, LGA-SFO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	The flight from Minneapolis (where I had a one hour layover) to San Fransisco was full to the brim. I took my seat in 22E and watched in awe as the coach class inmate in the seat in front of me tried in vain to wedge a full-sized chello between the seat next to his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Post-con report: Free Culture conference 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Last weekend I flew across the country from NYC to Berkeley, CA to participate in the Free Culture 2008 conference. Students for Free Culture was founded in 2004 by students at Swarthmore College, with its mission being to promote a bottom-up, more participatory culture by focusing on activism and advocacy in the realms of balanced [...]]]></description>

		<title>Desultory harangues: Episode 0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Ever feel like your brain is going on overload?

	By that I do not mean your garden-variety, generic onslaught of information we are mercilessly assaulted with from every direction on a daily basis. Your brain instinctively prioritizes and sorts through the random distractions as you go about your usual business, without any real &#8220;conscious&#8221; effort from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hi, my name is Hani (or Mannie, or Annie, or Andy, or&#8230;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Seriously folks, how difficult can getting my name right be?

	During the three weeks I&#8217;ve been here, my name has been repeatedly modified, mispronounced, and played with at will. Its mention triggered random interesting but unsolicited inquisitiveness (which, to be fair, is merely well-intentioned small talk), such as (and this is a non-comprehensive list):

	&#8220;Isn&#8217;t that a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Duuude, I just met the the SG!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	The SG stands for Secretary General (of the UN, that is). And yes, I have to use acronyms because I&#8217;ve been ODing on a gazillion of them over the past three weeks, half of which I either forgot or don&#8217;t even know what they stand for yet, but nod enthusiatically at their mention in any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Miguel d&#8217;Escoto&#8217;s Inclusionasry Logic of Love:
As world leaders continue to dish it out on hot global affairs during the 63rd session of the General Assembly, I found myself re-reading Miguel d&#8217;Escoto&#8217;s statement upon assuming the Presidency of said session on September 16th. Strong words. The world would be a much cooler place if just 10% [...]]]></description>

	&#160;From Blog stuff
Day three of my second week in New York city where I am interning at the United Nations headquarters. I arrived here on September 12th (direct business class flight..those frequent flier miles are actually useful!) to a rainy, windy NY, which is a good break from the stifling heat of the Cairene September.
