		<title>VALENTINE&#8217;S DAY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We know it&#8217;s corny and commercial, but we&#8217;re lovers&#8211;and we love Valentine&#8217;s Day. We found this DIY project on DesignSponge this week and couldn&#8217;t help but wonder all the ways we might riff on this project. Instructions can be found here.

For the traditionalist, you can&#8217;t fail with a heart-shaped box.

		<title>Summer Camp Dreams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know most of us are too *adult* for summer camp, but every year, I still dream about it. Over the last decade, various programs have sprung up&#8211;programs that seem to recognize that adults want to continue to learn new skills, meet new people, and get a little summer camp feelin&#8217; back in their lives.

		<title>MATTER: BRAILLE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I loved this essay so much, on Braille. Stephen Kusisto is a beautiful writer (I recommend his memoir, Planet of the Blind). More recently, a NYT magazine article covered the subject of Braille. I&#8217;ve always been drawn to it&#8211;my grandmother had a clipboard, on which she hand-poked braille letters onto paper, with a metal stencil [...]]]></description>

		<title>HERO: OLIVER SACKS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If we could only choose one room in a home to stealthily spy on, we&#8217;d choose the one with the desk. We&#8217;re not alone; lots of sites feature desk porn. But this feature, WORKBENCH, from SEED Magazine caught our attention, with the beauty of Oliver Sack&#8217;s desk exposed. You can find the interview, in which he [...]]]></description>
