		<description><![CDATA[This is one of my favourites from while I was in Abu Dhabi.  I haven&#8217;t done any digital processing to the image &#8211; the effect was achieved by taking this photo through the dirty window of a pet shop with a strong yellow light behind me from a streetlamp. This poor bird was kept in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As 90% of the universe&#8217;s brands send their marketing departments to seminars on how to &#8220;use social media&#8221;, the others are making everyone else feel stupid by getting it spectacularly right first time. Whoever is behind Old Spice&#8217;s campaign deserves a medal, or at the very least a pay rise, for showing how to take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I knew absolutely nothing about Welcome to Thebes before I went into the National Theatre production earlier this week, and I thoroughly recommend this approach to get the most out of it. Since that essentially invalidates this mini-review, I&#8217;ll keep it nice and short. The play, a new work from Moira Buffini, takes the location [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m a big believer in the broadcaster, its public service values, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saw a great quote today by a commenter over at Mark Watson&#8217;s blog by Samuel Beckett: Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better It&#8217;s from Westward Ho!, a play I&#8217;ve never seen, so apologies for having entirely divorced it from its context.  But as a standalone quote, it appeals. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is my first attempt at making crumpets from scratch at home.  While not entirely successful (the crumpets didn&#8217;t taste very nice), I have however resolved to record for posterity my first attempt here.  That way, when I am a world-renowned crumpet chef (chef du crûmpé),  my fans and inevitable imitators will have some small [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot can change in ten years. For example, ten years ago I would have rejected that sentence as the worst kind of truism.  Now, on the other hand, it&#8217;s a friendly, familiar cliche that does just the job I want it to. Because a lot has changed in the last ten years.  On a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much to my surprise, I managed to complete my NaNoWriMo novel, clinching the 50,000th word of the month some time after 9pm on 30 November 2009. What to do next, I&#8217;m not sure.  But I think that come 2010 I will at the very least fill in the gaps, tidy it up and turn it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m way, way behind on my NaNoWriMo effort.  I should be at around 30,000 &#8211; but I&#8217;ve barely managed 20,000.  Tomorrow will be the make or break point&#8230; we&#8217;ll see. To encourage myself (or just to waste some time), I&#8217;ve put my text through an analyser at http://www.online-utility.org/english/readability_test_and_improve.jsp. My novel has a readability level of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I did, perhaps, underestimate the consequences of taking four days holiday to Barcelona in the middle of NaNoWriMo. At the worst, I thought that taking a four day break (at 1,667 words a day) out of the 50,000 word writing month would delay me, well, 6,668 words. But one delay quickly leads to more delays, [...]]]></description>
