		<title>Cory and CATO sitting in a tree, m-i-s-leading ye?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just read an article about Cory Bernardi&#8217;s role in faux grass roots websites that are against putting a price on carbon &#8211; &#8220;Bernardi busy behind &#8216;grassroots&#8217; anti-carbon tax movement&#8220;.  It made me wonder if perhaps Cory is also behind CATO, that dubious &#8216;grass routes&#8217; association of &#8220;taxpayers and consumers&#8221; who are throwing an online [...]]]></description>

		<title>An aside</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to know how I can use asides in WordPress.    It&#8217;s an option after you&#8217;ve published a post and I think it&#8217;s good for posting updates, as an alternative to using comments.  Let&#8217;s see. Why is there no option for &#8220;post as aside&#8221; in this one but there is on the Ecolarge install&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>The Consumers and Taxpayers Association (CATA) should really be called the No Carbon Tax Association.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just read an article about a protest at the offices of the Minister for Infrastructure, Anthony Albanese.  The rally was in response to Anthony Albanese&#8217;s recent comments that the &#8216;convoy of no-confidence&#8217; was actually a &#8216;convoy of no-consequence&#8217;.  I personally think it was a nice play on words but it seems some people took [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death Sentence: The Decay of Public Language (aka. watch out for weasel words)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend recent suggested that I read a book entitled &#8220;Death Sentence &#8211; The Decay of Public Language&#8221;. It&#8217;s an excellent book written by Don Watson, a former speech writer for former Prime Minister of Australia, Paul Keating. As I said, it&#8217;s an excellent book and one I recommend wholeheartedly to anybody who uses language [...]]]></description>

		<title>How economics can help us pick a job or an industry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Generally speaking, it pays to be in industries where prices and demand are going up. Economics 101 tells us that prices generally increase due to low supply and high demand, more suppliers enter the market attracted by high returns.  Eventually competitively reduces returns and prices will stabilise, acting as a disincentive to new suppliers.  Alternatively, or synchronously, demand [...]]]></description>

		<title>The future of Nokia should be microfinance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having been the dominant mobile phone handset maker for a long time, Nokia is now on a slippery slide down from the top.  In developing markets, Nokia is still doing well, but is increasingly challenged by low cost Chinese manufacturers. I took the screenshot from the Nokia website showing the history of the company.  They have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anybody can be an entrepreneur, it just takes practice.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[- School teaches us to understand and deal with knowns.
- Much of life requires us to respond to the unknown.
- Anything written with hindsight will tell a cleaner narrative of events.
- A diary is a better medium for insight into the story of events as they occur.
- Dealing with unknowns only improves with practice and repetition.
- The real lessons for business or life success are in daily diaries, not autobiographies.]]></description>

		<title>How to go from startup idea to startup product.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I decided to develop a visual chart of the decision tree or options available to startup entrepreneurs when they have an idea and want to develop that idea. I was inspired by all the amazing responses over at Silicon Beach in response to the thread &#8220;Finding Technical Co-Founders: How do we help people do this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear NAB, if I were a customer&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;I would definitely break up with you. The National Bank of Australia&#8217;s (NAB) current advertising campaign has to be one of the worst i&#8217;ve ever seen. Perhaps I&#8217;m the only one who doesn&#8217;t get it. But essentially, NAB is saying &#8220;we&#8217;ve broken up with the other banks&#8221;. This must refer to the closeness with which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keeping your online identify safe with a simple password system</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the proliferation online accounts and email, I&#8217;d like to outline a simple password system that I think should work for most people. I&#8217;m writing this because I know a lot of people that use one password for their entire online life.
