		<title>Social Networking Storytelling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not sure whether this will take off or not, but Storify is now in public beta since last month. Storify allows you to pull together a &#8216;story&#8217; by consolidating related content (tweets, Youtube vids, links, RSS etc) onto one webpage, interspersing you own commentary if you wish. I can see that this will have a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rediscovered &amp; Newly Discovered Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the vein of this blogpost of mine, I thought I would share some more rediscovered music. The other week I was browsing the recent releases section of iTunes and happened upon an album by a guy called Ben Ottewell called Shapes &#38; Shadows. After playing a few of the song previews I was getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tech Tips from New York Times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times has published a useful list of tech tips here. Happily I am already compliant with seven of them, but I do still need to get a cloud storage solution that works will sync with my NAS (anyone out there know a good, reasonably priced solution?) I also found this list of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rediscovered Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am finally, a year after making a break from Andy&#8217;s, getting around to converting some of my WMA files into MP3. When I was lodging at Andy&#8217;s we initially had an all Windows household, so much of the first years there, when the majority of my music library was amassed, everything was ripped in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mapping Community Campaigns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Guardian has set up a collaborative map of the community campaigns in the Leeds area. View Leeds community campaigns in a larger map I am somewhat surprised that there is not already a website set up out there that maps these campaigns nationwide. Am I missing something?]]></description>

		<title>Autumn Sun At Old Moor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Glorious day yesterday at the RPSB reserve at Old Moor. Sightings wise it was a quiet day though. We went to the Bittern Hide first in the hope that we might catch a glimpse of the Cetti&#8217;s Warblers they have been reporting there. The only time I have actually seen one was last year at [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Drinking Establishments of Yesteryear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did a post a couple of years back about the explosive end of one of my favourite Leeds pubs from those years when I consumed more alcohol than was probably good for me. The death of the local boozer is of course part of long and ongoing trend, of which I was reminded again [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cutting Grafitti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to use these very cash machines quite regularly when I worked over that side of the city centre. [Source: Leeds edition of Guardian here] Sums up the current sentiment of much of the populace quite accurately I think, especially where the banks are concerned. The article the picture appears in also contains details [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Media: A Community Asset</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been fashionable for quite some time now for enthusiasts to quote people like Clay Shirky on the value of social media in facilitating group campaigning activities. Anyone who has read his book, Here Comes Everybody, will know it is packed with examples of when the internet and social media has been able to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death of Contemplation?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The daughter of my Australian aunt recently sent me an e-mail, part of which was sharing and eliciting opinions on books. The e-mail closed with a request for recommendations of good books I had read. The last time I saw her I was rattling through a few books, mainly because that&#8217;s what I do when I am [...]]]></description>
