The contents of your <title> tag is almost certainly the most important on page SEO factor. Leaving it blank is essentially SEO suicide. Not coincidentally, it is also very bad usability as users use it to tell what page they are on and it is also the default title used when a page is bookmarked.

An empty meta description isn't a big deal. It isn't used for ranking purposes and its content may be used as a page's description in the search results. However, if it is blank other content can be used as a page's description so leaving it blank won't actually harm your rankings.
