		<title>That&#8217;s Entertainment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is one of the most visual songs I can recall. Listening to it or even just reading it always sends me to the place that Weller is describing. Very few songs can do that.
That&#8217;s Entertainment
Paul Weller
A police car and a screaming siren -
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete -
A baby wailing and stray [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“When two events happen simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention.”
 &#8211; Agent Dale Cooper, Twin Peaks
I had a scary moment of the holiday period. I started becoming ill on Boxing day, just the usual trivial stuff &#8211; nose and throat, and by New Years Eve it had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple Tech Talk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was lucky enough to get an invite to the Apple Tech Talk in London a couple of weeks ago. It was a worth while trip to the big smoke just for some of the snippets of information your get from some of the talks. Sometimes it doesn&#8217;t matter how many forums or blogs you [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shawshank Redemption</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I was in London last week for the Apple Tech Talk, I decided to go watch The Shawshank Redemption at the Wyndham Theatre. 
Most of you will be aware of the Film by Frank Darabont. Some of you may even be aware that it is based on the short story, Rita Hayworth and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deadman Hill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a particular affinity with Deadman Hill. Anyway, Darren managed to find some information about it recently&#8230;

Deadman Hill
This is a stretch of the B3078 along a ridge from Godshill The most likely origin of the name is that a gibbet was situated at one time near the junction with the Redlynch road but a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those who have not read The Deathly Hallows and are still intending to do so, then you might want to look away now as this may contain spoilers.
I&#8217;ve just finished re-reading Harry Potter. In fact I&#8217;ve been reading the series to Rebekah over the last year. Anyway, there is a part toward the end [...]]]></description>

		<title>November Rain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the whole of September and October passed by without me making a single post to my blog. And indeed half of August and some of November!
There are a few reasons for that. One being that I am extremely busy in the evenings with my current iPhone app. This should change soon as it&#8217;s about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lords of the Rings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m just coming to the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, and you know&#8230;
I don&#8217;t think I care&#8230;
I first read LOTR about 14 years ago after many false starts. I just could
never get into it. However while I was at SCi we started working on a LOTR
game so I figured I needed to read [...]]]></description>

		<title>Translations of poetry and songs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While grimacing my way through Lord of the Rings, I thought about
something that I have considered before, not just with LOTR, but with
other fantasy books that I&#8217;ve read.
Many of the poems and songs in LOTR are given in the common tongue as
translations from some other language, Elvish, Dwarven, etc&#8230; so why to
they all rhyme? Surely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Audio Books &#8211; The Problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve now listened through a few audio books, some of them multiple times, and I have to say that it&#8217;s a most enjoyable way of passing those long journies or gym sessions.
However, I finally have a problem with them &#8211; SINGING!
I&#8217;ve just started listening to &#8220;The Lord Of The Rings&#8221;, which in itself is an [...]]]></description>

		<title>DVD speed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that PAL DVD&#8217;S run 4% faster than NTSC and cinemas?
So Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, which runs for 153 minutes at the cinema, will only run for 146.88 minutes when you buy it on DVD. So you are losing 6 minutes!
You&#8217;re unlikely to notice as the whole film is being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Audiobooks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I drive about 10 hours a week to and from work. I also do about 4 hours in the gym during the week. The gym is the crux of the problem. Sometimes I find while running on the treadmill that I get bored and start clock watching, and when that happens every minute seems to [...]]]></description>
