		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes nice things come back and surprise you.  Last year, just after I&#8217;d upgraded to Google Earth Plus, I was looking for some good Santa-stuff in Google Earth (so I could show my younger relatives something interesting on what is otherwise a very dull computer), and I spotted a shape: looking around Northern Europe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent demolition of Killay House left a lot of memories without an anchor.  It was a familiar shape to the thousands of people who travel on Gower Road daily, and it had been so for over 120 years.  Growing up in Heol Glasnant (where the houses are tall), and going to school [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just to make sure there are no confused people out there, the giant iPod space advert is actually a tailings storage facility; part of an active goldmine in Paddington, West Australia.
It&#8217;s not really a giant iPod; and no, there was no high-stakes poker game between Kerry Packer and Steve Jobs, I made that bit up.

Today I learned from a trusted source that Apple is poised to make history next Saturday when it unveils the worlds first advertisement that can be seen from space.

Apple had hoped to keep their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve mentioned previously about how the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) may be leaving us clues about His impending manifestation on Earth.  I think I just spotted another, and it&#8217;s rather significant.
A series of articles in BoingBoing have recently highlighted the fun that can be had by using anagrams of station names on tube maps, [...]]]></description>

News reports are focusing on the town of Innisfail at the moment,  probably because it&#8217;s the most populated area and the eye of the storm appears to [...]]]></description>
