		<title>Downton Abbey: A Drinking Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Were there to be a drinking game to be played while watching Downton Abbey (the costume-y soap-y melodrama imported from ITV that finishes its American run on PBS tonight), it would surely be the most genteel, witty, beguiling drinking game ever conceived. To that end, I present the following: Sip your drink when: Daisy moans about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Green Card: My Immigration Story: Part the First</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Disclaimer: I am not an immigration lawyer. In fact, I am not any kind of lawyer. I do not claim to be an immigration expert. The experiences I describe below are mine; others will vary. US immigration procedures, times, costs, forms, all change regularly. Don&#8217;t rely on what I say without checking. So, in case [...]]]></description>

		<title>Public Service Announcement: Chocolate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tangentially related to my last post, I wanted to share a somewhat amusing, somewhat annoying quirk of the American chocolate market. You know a Mars Bar, right? One a day helps you work, rest and play? There is no such thing in America. Nope, in the USA, a Mars Bar is called a Milky Way. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Giant Eagle</title>

		<title>Pseuds Recruitment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Breaking my ridiculously long blog-silence (to be properly broken soon, I promise), to reproduce this email, received earlier today from an IT recruiter back in the UK. He doesn&#8217;t know that I (a) have a job and (b) am on another continent. It strikes me as a perfect candidate for Private Eye&#8217;s Pseuds Corner. Good [...]]]></description>

		<title>CordenBleugh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are you using the shiny new Safari 5? Do you want to remove all traces of James Corden from your interwebs? I can help. Install the CordenBleugh Safari Extension (right-click and download), and, almost magically, your browsing will be no longer blighted. Can&#8217;t promise the same for this Saturday&#8217;s Doctor Who, though. Sorry. Not sure [...]]]></description>

		<title>Instablog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Look! I&#8217;m back! Sort of &#8211; this is very much a holding blog until I get everything sorted out on my super-shiny, all-bells-and-whistles, systematic, hydromatic new site. Many apologies for my sustained absence &#8211; believe me, I wish it hadn&#8217;t been so long. Anyhoo, I have returned, with a temporary blog here to hold my [...]]]></description>

		<title>140 characters or fewer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was going to post on Twitter that Twitter is currently down. It took me at least three attempts to realise the flaw in my plan&#8230; Should be blogging more, but I&#8217;ve been awfully busy with work (yes, proper work, here) and haven&#8217;t really felt like it. More anon, though, I promise.]]></description>

		<title>Some say&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;his face is permanently blurred to protect his identity. Google Maps launched its Streetview service in the UK yesterday, and some intrepid sightseers have already found the Stig at the BBC&#8217;s White City offices. Fun. Also Nottingham High School, on a rare &#8220;not rainy&#8221; day: Oh, and Wally on Putney High Street:]]></description>

		<title>Inside Today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a long-time Radio 4 listener, it&#8217;s fascinating to get a glimpse behind the scenes of the Today programme&#8230; One might argue that a viral video stops being viral when the programme it is promoting has to promote the video itself&#8230; Still, fun though.]]></description>
