		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, sending your team to paintball battles for team building is all a bit outdated.  The latest way to boost team spirit is through cooking, says The Guardian.
Four thousand business people have been through the doors in two years, paying £120 per head for a half-day team bonding culinary session.  I think this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nintendo&#8217;s recent success with the Wii and DS brought surprise to a lot of people, including the gaming giant itself.
Innovation obviously played a big part in this success, and we should applaud Nintendo for its creativty and willingness to try something new.  However, the company&#8217;s under-estimation of the market demand for a Wii also [...]]]></description>

Perhpas it&#8217;s because I am a girl, I love stationery.  Lucy Mangan&#8217;s theory on the matter double confirms this slightly strange behaviour.  I had been trying to get hold of a discontinued Rotring 600 (old style - with knurl) ballpen to go with my pencil from the same series for quite a while, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Although I&#8217;ve always been quite keen on video games, my passion has been boosted by the arrival of my little Nintendo Gameboy Micro.  It&#8217;s not any old Gameboy Micro, but a rare Famicom 20th Anniversary Micro.  It&#8217;s a gorgeous little machine that is smaller than a normal size iPod and plays all Gameboy [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s quite an unusual choice of book for me, but the fact is I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to my girl friends.
Lucy Mangan&#8217;s Hopscotch &#38; Handbags first came to my attention via an edited extract in the Guardian Weekend magazine.  I was immediately won over by Lucy&#8217;s witty and sharp [...]]]></description>

15,000 miles

Anita Sethi embarked on her 3-month bus trip from the UK to Australia two weeks ago and kicks off her regular column in The Guardian today.
A totally eco-friendly choice to travel across the world and on the way, she&#8217;s made 39 new friends and had loads of fun. A wonderful experience [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting article written by Justin McCurry in The Guardian today called Tokyo dreaming.  I was shocked by the estimated number of people regualrly sleeping in Japan&#8217;s 24-hour cafés — 25,000 to 40,000 is quite a depressing figure.
Expenses:

Meal
a plate of chips, sausages, a burger, fried fish, rice and shredded cabbage for 830 yen (£3.60); [...]]]></description>

We finally had some sun today.  So we loaded up our iPods with the audio guide for the Covent Garden Grand Tour and ventured out to our first art appreciation grand tour.
It was an enjoyable and unusual experience as some of the famous paintings were hanging right next to busy shops in Covent Garden. [...]]]></description>

Mark Haddon&#8217;s last novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time was a great read for both adults and children; it&#8217;s original, funny and well-composed.  His second book A Spot of Bother may not be as brilliant, but it&#8217;s definitely worth reading.
A Spot of bother is hardly an upbeat, pleasant story but [...]]]></description>

Despite the traditional slower in-take of technology of the art world, Flickr has successfully entered into some very interesting, mainstream projects, including The Grand Tour and How We Are: Photographing Britain.
