		<description><![CDATA[If you learn one thing from this article it should be back up your data – all of it, frequently and redundantly. Or maybe, if you find life kind of boring, and you have lots of spare time on your hands, don't. Be like Inspector Clouseau, waiting for your man Kato to jump you when you get home, just to keep yourself sharp.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm a bit of a classicist and hard to please, and my preference for drinks being simple and straightforward often leaves me at a loss when selecting from a nearly limitless array of increasingly complex beverages. I have only created a couple of original cocktails myself, and the most recent is, I think, my most successful. It's called the Gainsbourg.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I first heard the word petrichor in the recent Doctor Who episode The Doctor’s Wife and assumed it was an invention of the author Neil Gaiman. As it turns out it is a favourite word of his, but its origins can be traced back to two Australian botanists who coined the term in an article for the journal Nature in 1964.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back I wrote a post about QR codes. It's not a pet topic of mine, but I do have one on my business card. I have one on a self-inking rubber stamp. And of course there's one on this site, if you happen to want to continue reading this on your iPhone. But are they worth loving or hating – or even arguing about? (Spoiler: no).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love music books. If I could play a tenth of the music in all the music books I have lying around I'd be some kind of piano hero. I had a piano tuner ask if I was a teacher. Nope. I just like the books. There's a part of my brain that thinks that owning a book is like knowing a thing. That part of my brain is wrong.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you find yourself mixing the same old cocktails all the time, sometimes it helps to add a semi-random element to your decision-making. For me, that element is often the contents of our weekly organic bin, which for the past few weeks has included a small package of organic blueberries.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've managed to trip over the Business Insider article entitled "Death to the QR Code" twice in the past week, mostly as a result of marketing colleagues passing the link around via Twitter or LinkedIn. And if the purpose of that provocative headline was to drag more eyeballs onto the Business Insider site, then I must concede its success.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have recently re-entered the halls of academia, this time as a student of oenology, so that I may eventually be fully qualified to go off half-cocked on the subject of wine, rather than completely un-cocked, as has been my habit up until this point. Details of my successes and failures, to date, are encapsulated herein.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wasn’t sure that QR codes would catch on in Canada before they became obsolete, but they seem to have been quite widely adopted here finally. And as I had created mobile versions of this site and my portfolio site, it seemed sensible to incorporate a QR code into my new business card design, which was uploaded to an online print service earlier this week.]]></description>
