		<title>Show me the way to Amarillo. Or Belgium.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Quietly launched last week, but now shuffling into a centre-stage position, is the wonderful travel.dk.com from Poke for Dorling Kindersley.
All the usual suspects are there - content browsing, integrated booking with affiliates (with many more partners to come), advertising partners, user-submitted content and comments and ratings. I think we&#8217;ve managed to do all of those [...]]]></description>

Can&#8217;t contain it any longer. The new &#8220;squeezy&#8221; Marmite is making me cross. It&#8217;s not so much the idea but rather the execution, particularly the pack design. 
First off it&#8217;s totally the wrong ergonomic shape to squeeze - it should be a tube. Secondly, the plastic formulation is wrong - it&#8217;s too hard and [...]]]></description>

Yum!
Also of interest is the re-versioning of the get-a-mac ad&#8217;s for the UK using Mitchell &#38; Webb. 

The perfect choice for sure, but what makes it interesting is that it&#8217;s the first time in years and years that Apple have rolled out anything but the US ad&#8217;s with the simplest of currency changes. The US [...]]]></description>

		<title>The art of consumption</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I love photo-mosaics. I find them fascinating. 
Some nice photography by Chris Jordan that uses them as info-graphics to highlight American consumptive behaviour. 
Also check out his earlier portraits of mass consumption for lots of beautiful pictures of rubbish.

		<title>Never mind the bollocks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m still reeling from the weekend. I have finally seen Paul Simonon play bass. And then some. Let me explain.
I caught the opening night of the The Good, The Bad &#038; The Queen tour at the Trinity in Bristol on Saturday night (you can learn more about the band in my earlier post if you [...]]]></description>

Image © Harry Benson
Earlier this year I caught the Harry Benson Retrospective at the National Gallery of Scotland. I knew Harry for his work photographing the Beatles just as their star was rising in the US, but is was this image of Ethel Kennedy that really remained with me that day.
Harry was standing next to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Listen up Steve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I love the fact that my sleeping Nintendo glows when i&#8217;ve got mail. It&#8217;s such a welcome sight to come home to. Anyway, I now wish my Powerbook would do the same. 
Blue for boring mail, red for angry mail, pink for a love letter. How hard can that be Steve?
(Or maybe it should be [...]]]></description>

		<title>No sleep &#8217;til Montpelier &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Something my little brother has kept quiet is the new band he&#8217;s been playing with. Until now that is, and the extra-ordinary blog referral power I wield. World meet the Cedar. (Standby for 3 incoming links)
Not quite the acid-folk fusion sound i&#8217;ve been hunting for all my life, but very pleasant nonetheless - and bonus [...]]]></description>
