		<title>The tool-maker is the distributor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apple&#8217;s new iBook creation software has a condition in the license agreement that disallows you from selling any work created using the software except via Apple (which will be subject to a further unspecified agreement). More details here. Apple, in this EULA, is claiming a right not just to its software, but to its software’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>On vacation &#8212; pun intended</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vacations &#8212; how we love them! It&#8217;s not just the water which comes in shades that give the colour blue not just a personality, but a soul; it&#8217;s not the sand that&#8217;s so fine that you&#8217;re tempted swim in it; nor does the salty tang of the insistent ocean breeze really explain it. What really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Memories from a simpler time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on a gadget clearing spree, and decided to use Apple&#8217;s recycling program for my nearly 7 year old Powerbook G4; my first Mac. I haven&#8217;t used it in nearly 3 years. To be honest, I was somewhat surprised that it started up almost without any fuss. I&#8217;m guessing the battery would&#8217;ve run out completely, [...]]]></description>

		<title>One more light to be grateful for</title>
		<description><![CDATA[His music could pull emotion out of thin air. You would lose your sense of all existence while swaying to &#8216;Main Nashe Mein Hoon&#8217; and yet, feel your heart weep over the numbingly fragile nature of humanity with &#8216;Woh Kagaz Ki Kashti&#8217;. Truly, without his music, a whole dimension of my life would&#8217;ve gone unexplored. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shiva Trilogy, Parts 1 and 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Came across this series while browsing bookstores in India. Thanks to vacation time, I could polish off the first and second parts in four days, just like old times! The first book is titled &#8220;The Immortals of Meluha&#8221; and the second is &#8220;The Secret of the Nagas&#8221;. I can&#8217;t remember the last time I&#8217;ve finished [...]]]></description>

		<title>The name of the wind, by Patrick Rothfuss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hadn&#8217;t read fantasy fiction in quite a while and decided to give this book a spin based on many recommendations. The first of a series, the novel is about an accomplished but world-weary magician, Kvothe, who has all but retired and become an innkeeper in an insignificant little town, to all intents and purposes [...]]]></description>

		<title>The myths of innovation, by Scott Berkun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A great book of insights, history and reasoning about the process of innovation. I think Scott Berkun chooses the perfect way to go about describing innovation &#8212; debunking the myths and half-truths that have cropped up about it since the term became overly abused in corporate and business communication. The work is far from merely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend media notes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw &#8216;Visual Acoustics &#8211; The modernism of Julius Schulman&#8217;. Fantastic documentary about a fabulous man. He&#8217;s one of the best known architectural photographers of the 20th century; and covered much of America&#8217;s modernist architecture. His dedication to his work, brilliant ideas, curiosity, humour and vitality even in ripe old age are inspirational. Not to mention [...]]]></description>
