		<title>Watching Jack play</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are at a great play area in Neutral Bay. He loves climbing on all the gear here and is pretty confident for his age. We are trying to master the slide here but he would rather lie on it at the bottom than slide down it.]]></description>

		<title>new toys &#8211; the iPad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well it has been a while since I popped out a post here but the arrival of a new tech toy makes it worth a bit of a scribble. Adrienne managed to pick up a spunky new iPad for me while she was traveling in New York last week. It is my second day with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick Post to Re-boot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is the New Year again, and I still feel the need to write but have a crappy resolve to get the keyboard moving at my fingertips. I have been doing a bit more free writing where I just open up my ‘brainvalve’ and try and allow the fingers to keep up. I haven’t done [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teeth and development</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jack is just over 8 months old now and it is amazing to watch his development. He now has his third tooth appearing pm his top gum to compliment the pair on the bottom. He is able to pull himself to a standing position, provided he can find something stable enough to drag himself up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Being a dad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last 5 months have been amazing and exhausting, rewarding and frustrating. For the last five months I have been a dad to my beautiful little man &#8211; Jack. Tonight Jack is having a hard time getting some sleep. We have been pretty lucky lately with his sleep. He has learned to relax himself and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kiva &#8211; Giving something back&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Walking down Martin Place in Sydney every day it is easy to feel like a scrooge as I turn away a host of charity workers asking for money, or a credit card number to help them support their chosen cause. In the mean time Seth Godin raved about a micro loan project where instead of [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on Writing..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It may be obvious but when it is hard to write, then writing can be very hard to do. Writing has it&#8217;s own momentum that can take a while to get rolling effectively. The question that I need to aswer is not how to write more effectively, but how to start faster and then keep [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blackberry envy cured</title>

My old phone had been gradually getting worse as the screen filled with static. Adrienne got herself a blackberry and can now get emails anywhere. This is something that I have resisted [...]]]></description>

		<title>end of month&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another month is rolling by. I feel like we haven&#8217;t had a chance to catch breath since Christmas and even that felt more like work than a holiday. Every day rolls into the next one and there is just no relief on the horizon. On one hand this is really good news since it means [...]]]></description>

		<title>Updates and refresh</title>

So of course once that had been done i had to add a new look and feel to the site so that I could actually feel the change from the outside. One [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye Gary Gygax</title>

Back then we had the stories and the adventures that Gary Gygax had created. I was sad to hear that he recently passed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Schrodinger&#8217;s resolutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the reason that I donâ€™t like New Yearâ€™s resolutions. Almost as soon as I declare them to the world I find that something gets in the way of keeping them. This is obviously the case already with my commitment to write 100 words per day. I may not get a posting out every [...]]]></description>

		<title>Resolutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the silly things about the calendar changing from one year to the next is the idea of New Yearâ€™s Resolutions. I try not to get too carried away with these since I feel that they are too often a recipe for failure. However, there are some things that I would like to achieve [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Years Day 2008 (2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The weather this Christmas has been surprisingly mild this year. By mild I mean that it has not been swelteringly hot and muggy. Instead the skies have been grey and occasionally menacing. In Brisbane there was an occasional downpour, but not so that it dampened anyoneâ€™s spirits. It would be nice though if we could [...]]]></description>

Waking up this morning was not as hard as I thought it might have been after the night before. We are on the road back home now, stopping off at Kingscliff for a couple of nights so that we [...]]]></description>

These two are the master chefs in action. Mark and Marie cooking up a satay extravaganza! After much drama throught the year, the result is this amazing kitchen. Adrienne [...]]]></description>

		<title>Facebook Fading</title>

The little sparks of contact and inspiration that came from the discovery of new friends and old, quickly turned into a nuisance. Although I still check in on my own profile every now and then I barely use it at all. One of my [...]]]></description>
