		<title>Search for MPs using postal code</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The people over at How&#8217;d They Vote have included a postal code look up in their API.
&#8220;How&#8217;d They Vote?&#8221; aims to be a non-partisan website which provides a  variety of in-depth information on the operations of the Canadian  Parliament, specifically, how our politicians vote and what they&#8217;ve  said.  We take Hansard [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cellphones will soon outnumber humans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The International Telecommunications Union reports that there are 4.6 billion cellphone subscribers world-wide, a trend that outpaces Internet connectivity rates.

It should be noted however that &#8220;subscribers&#8221; don&#8217;t equal &#8220;people&#8221; as some individuals have multiple phones. For example, both Israel and Italy have 1.3 cellphones per person. It was nearly a decade ago when Motorola found [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Mac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, I dropped $1500 and bought a new iMac which marks my third mac.

I&#8217;m already enjoying the huge screen, faster processor, speakers, and the crazy touch mouse; this will help tremendously in making videos and doing web work.

		<title>Built in text message ruin man&#8217;s life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ouch! This Winnipegger got thrown out by his love because of some sultry text messages he didn&#8217;t even send; his phone sent them.
This must be like when your phone dials someone while it&#8217;s in your pocket. Note to new phone owners, especially those with Virgin Mobile, remove your pre-defined text messages. Also, this says a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wall Street II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twenty three years later, Gordon Gekko is released from prison.

I&#8217;m not a fan of sequels but when they&#8217;re presented in true time, it&#8217;s pretty neat.

		<title>Fight Club revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A certain favourite movie of mine is Fight Club, based on the book by Chuck Palahniuk. The movie was directed by David Fincher, music performed by the Dust Brothers and starred Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. In that order, I have praise for them all.
On so many levels I like this movie, and maybe that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>The iPad is a mini-laptop, not a phone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier today, Steve Jobs announced the new Apple toy of the year, the tablet-like iPad.

It might look like an iPhone on steroids, but it&#8217;s actually a mini-laptop.
It&#8217;s nearly the same screen size as a MacBook (the iPad screen is 9.5&#8243; x 7.5&#8243; while the MacBook screen is 9&#8243; x 13&#8243;), one third the weight, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Changing Permalinks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I changed my web site a couple years ago to use Wordpress, for some reason I thought I was going to be writing daily blog posts. So I made my Wordpress permalink structure: /year/month/day/postname only to find myself with long URLs that really weren&#8217;t needed and at worst scared off friends from checking my [...]]]></description>

On September 27, 2004, on the 50th anniversary of The Tonight Show, host Jay Leno announced on the show that he would be stepping down in 2009 and that Conan O’Brien would succeed him [...]]]></description>

		<title>A picture is worth a thousand searches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google has introduced a beta visual search application for their Android phones that allows you to take a photo of something and find relevant search results based on that. The new application is cutely named Google Goggles.

To determine where something you have taken a photo of actually is, GPS information is used by Google Goggles. [...]]]></description>
