		<title>ITV, iPlayer and Funding Television</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s just been something good on ITV.  This is an increasingly rare event, so this has been the first time I&#8217;ve used ITV Player since&#8230; well, ever, probably. The failure of ITV has frequently been blamed on falling ad revenues in the face of competition with the web for advertising spend.  So how come ITV [...]]]></description>

		<title>Distributed Social Networking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For all their utility, a draw back of the social media tools I use is that they are centralised. One monolithic, commercially operated platform acts as a repository for all of my (and my friends&#8217; and contacts&#8217;) content, links and networks.  In a fun debate yesterday on the email question (during which I did my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ten First Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My obsession with the actors who have played the Doctor continues&#8230; I&#8217;ve been reading the Eighth (Paul McGann) discussing the Tenth (Tennant) and Eleventh (Smith): David Tennant is such a brilliant technician.  Again, I say that with due respect, he&#8217;s a wonderful classical actor, but technically he&#8217;s dead on.  You could get it in one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Hate Email</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of colleagues and friends have been singing the praises of email lately.  I hate it. Largely because of the things that made it so popular with me originally &#8211; that it was free, immediate, that you could send as many as you liked and they could be as long as you liked. This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Casting the New Dirk Gently</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since BBC 4 have announced there will be a TV adaptation of Dirk Gently, but there are few actually details to be garnered (aside from the fact that Vexed writer Howard Overman is adapting &#8211; hurray) there&#8217;s nothing to do but idly speculate about the casting. Svlad/Dirk &#8220;Gently&#8221; Cjelli Dylan Moran/Benedict Cumberbatch/Toby Stephens Richard MacDuff [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;The Great Game&#8221; Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite numerous references to stories from the Sherlock Holmes cannon, this one seemed to be based much more closely on Die Hard With A Vengeance than anything Conan Doyle wrote&#8230; This owed a lot to the structure, of course &#8211; the problem solving format. Rather than being brought the most insoluble problems which had occurred [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;The Blind Banker&#8221; Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The new Sherlock is set in the modern day supposedly to avoid the pitfall of getting lost in the trappings of the period setting and the Victoriana.  Unfortunately by this second episode it appears to have got lost in the trappings of a 1970s TV show.  All of the hallmarks are there: the concern with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pick &#8216;n&#8217; Mix Science</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A story concerning politics, science, vested interests and &#8220;selectively edited, out-of-context data&#8221; is not uncommon: recently there have been several about homeopathy.  In this case I&#8217;m referring to a Washington Post story on petitions denied by the US Environmental Protection Agency in a story which was tweeted, earlier this afternoon, by Caroline Lucas (the Green [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;A Study in Pink&#8221; Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update Sherlock Holmes?  Do the stories not the trappings?  The problem with a project like this is just how much do you keep and how much do you lose? It&#8217;s bound to upset some of the hardcore Holmes nerds. We love our Victorian Gothic, the cobbled streets, the deerstalker and the pipe.  The adaptations can&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dragon Dictate app</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a combine to test and review for dragon dictate. Dragon dictate is a combined iPhone and I pad app that converts your speech into text. It&#8217;s a free output, and it&#8217;s been available for a while in the US, but is now available in the UK, which means I don&#8217;t have to do [...]]]></description>
