		<title>My New Toy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of my job at Telecom, I was allowed to buy a new phone at a significant discount. My phone was connected today. I have just spent a bit of time playing with the phone and adding my contacts to it. The phone comes complete with Google Earth. It even gives you a rough [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I intended to do so much tonight. I intended to buy some domains and set up a few automated web sites. But as usual, I have been distracted by a CD that I hadn&#8217;t got around to listening to yet, and some rather interesting web sites (no, not those sorts of web sites!). Maybe I [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ve Been Shopping Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I felt rather good after my shopping expedition yesterday, and decided to keep the momentum up by doing some more shopping today. My niece and nephew (who are twins) are turning seven next month, so I decided it was time to but their presents. I bought a clock for Ruby. But it&#8217;s not just any [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Shiny New Shoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought two pairs of new shoes today. One pair are casual shoes that I will wear on the weekend, while the other pair are smart shoes that I will wear to work. I had my previous sneakers for about  five years, and my smart shoes were even older than that. They were well and [...]]]></description>

		<title>No More Facebook At Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It appears that Facebook has been banned at work. I went to check the site yesterday, and found that I couldn&#8217;t access the site due to changes in the company&#8217;s &#8220;security policy&#8221;. I&#8217;m assuming that the change affects other people too &#8211; although I haven&#8217;t been game enough to ask in case it was only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hurrah For Global Warming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems that New Zealand is going to get a warm, dry winter. New Zealand&#8217;s winters can be brutal at times, so it will be nice to have a warm winter for a change.]]></description>

		<title>Justin Bieber Is In New Zealand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Justin Bieber has arrived down under. &#8220;Justin Who?&#8221; you might be asking yourself. I first heard about Justin last night when watching the news. They showed him arriving at Auckland Airport. Hoards of teenage girls were waiting to catch a glimpse of him. It turns out Justin is a teenager who can sing. I watched [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Like Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There were a couple of packages for me in the mailbox today. One was from Amazon, the other was from DealExtreme. The good thing about living in New Zealand is that packages take ages to arrive. As a result, you have totally forgotten what you have ordered by the time the item turns up, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cat Stevens Is Coming To Town</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I heard some great news yesterday. Cat Stevens is doing a concert in Christchurch on 2 July. While I&#8217;m not the world&#8217;s biggest Cat Stevens fan, I do like his music. And as I&#8217;ve never actually been to a concert before, I reckon I might have to go to this one. I like the timing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anzac Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is Anzac Day. Anzac Day is the day when New Zealanders and Australians commemorate those who have served and died in armed conflict for our countries. Many people take part in the dawn parades and ceremonies that are held early in the morning. Two unfortunate events happened on Anzac Day this year. Firstly, a helicopter [...]]]></description>
