		<description><![CDATA[____________________ After my month off-line I thought would be interesting to consider the on- and off-line habits of a few members of UPPERCASE magazine&#8217;s Work-in-Progress Society, a Flickr group that celebrates beauty in the unfinished.

So tonight, in the spirit of full disclosure&#8230; I am sitting in the egg chair in Madeleine&#8217;s room typing in the dark. She is rolling around in her [...]]]></description>
