		<title>Gadget Review&#8211;The Fridge Friend</title>

		<title>I remember 2011 like it was only last week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah…the obligatory end of year, start of year post! This time last year I was writing about how challenging 2010 had been. I’m pleased to report that on the whole 2011 didn’t throw up as many major problems as the previous year.

		<title>Choosing The &#8220;Right&#8221; Smart Phone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier in the year I wrote about my thoughts on choosing a new mobile phone. I went with Windows Phone and tried to be (reasonably) impartial about why I’d discounted the others. I promised a follow up post explaining how I was getting on. That post never turned up as my writing mojo vanished (which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Useful Productivity Website: Trello</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m really enjoying Trello.com at the moment. The story behind the site is that the people at FogCreek built a tool so the people in their teams can see at a glance what everyone is working on. They then decided it would be a good idea to make it available to everyone else! The basic [...]]]></description>
