		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s less a new year&#8217;s resolution and more a general promise to myself, but I promised myself I&#8217;d write more publicly for 2011. I have a terrible timidity curse. It&#8217;s the fear that the person you think you are isn&#8217;t really the person you really are. Technically, it&#8217;s liberating to accept, but awful to realise [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And so it&#8217;s Christmas. Christmas time. It&#8217;s actually after Christmas, in that strange hinterland between Christmas and New Year&#8217;s. If you&#8217;re self-employed and a bit skittish, as I sort of am, it&#8217;s a time to gather ye your receipts for the previous year and hope your accountant doesn&#8217;t kill you for late submission. Supposedly, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had this entry in my written diary dated Tuesday 18 May. I thought it would be an interesting post. It goes like this: I told Fiona (my flatmate) about this dream I had, involving Andrew Neil. I had a dream. For some reason I had either moved to Australia or gone on holiday there, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a long time coming, but I&#8217;ve got my online portfolio up on Mawgablog. It&#8217;s in the Published Articles section. It&#8217;s been a bit of a palaver for one simple reason. Choice. Previously, I&#8217;d been blogging away happily on MySpace, enjoying a bit of pseudo privacy, and being as candid as I liked. I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been mulling over all this Flash-iPhone, Apple v Adobe stuff for a while now, and then lo and behold, Steve Jobs writes an open letter about it on the Apple website. So, I got some posh stationery and wrote all these thoughts out, longhand, about what he said. I&#8217;m not Mr Gadget developer guy, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Religion's bad press in the eyes of atheists is an oversimplified overstatement. Far from a major cause of conflict, it is often merely one additional factor in the wars on which the anti-God squad blame it. Furthermore, if most conflict is about battles for resources rather than deriving from ethnic, ideological or historical, things are going to get a whole lot worse very soon. ]]></description>

It&#8217;s pretty cool, not quite out at the moment, although Neil, the editor has posted a lovely bit of hype for my contribution. Yes indeed. psychology of colour.
