		<title>Bracketed Tax: A Guide.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I learned that not many people (even those around me who study business) actually know how much they get taxed, or how the Australian taxation system works. I&#8217;ve heard statements like &#8220;if you earn over $80,000, you&#8217;ll get taxed 40%, but under $80,000 you only get taxed 30%&#8221;. 
If this was correct, a person [...]]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s no such thing as a&#8230; wait, what?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New York businessmen, as far as I can tell, are a special bunch. They love big words, big gestures and big paychecks. Unfortunately, in these tough economic times even the New Yorkers find their incomes reduced and as a result their lavish culinary expenditure has been curbed.
Only through extreme cleverness and guile can these sharply-dressed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chemical Dangers.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re of a nerdly persuasion, I would like to bring your attention to the writings of one Derek Lowe, specifically a category from his &#8220;In The Pipeline&#8221; blog; Things I Won&#8217;t Work With.
In those posts Lowe, who holds a PhD in organic chemistry, describes certain chemical compounds of such properties that His Noodliness himself [...]]]></description>

I gave my brother a tripod for his birthday, then took him out to teach him how to use it. This is one of my photos &#8211; the Treasury Casino in &#8220;green mode&#8221;.

		<title>A future where cheap, malware and prime-time TV-ad-riddled devices flood the market?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In fine infotainment form, cracked.com is running an educational article about Apple.
Since I&#8217;m a very much a PC man, I am happy to provide Cracked an infinitesimally small improvement to their PageRank scores by linking to said article right here.

		<title>Dark Sky Observing outside Brisbane.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



A week ago I bought a small telescope to indulge my childhood dreams of backyard astronomy. Within three nights, just sitting in my backyard, I&#8217;d seen Mars, Saturn, the Orion Nebula and managed to identify a handful of constellations and bright stars. Last night, I took advantage of the new moon and went out to [...]]]></description>

		<title>So the blender costs.. how much?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Anja and I were shopping for blenders today (god, we lead such exciting lives) and I noticed that Harris Scarfe, purveyors of brand-name kitchen appliances at discount prices, seem to be having some computer trouble.

		<description><![CDATA[Yup, I&#8217;ve gone and put ads over in my sidebar. Why, you ask? Why not? All that space was just doing nothing. It&#8217;s more of an experiment and an amusement than an actual money-making venture &#8211; I don&#8217;t get enough hits to this blog at the moment to believe that anyone is even paying attention [...]]]></description>
