		<title>Hardware hacking update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lindsey and Alex have gone away for a couple of days, leaving me with some alone time to work on hacking projects.
Alex's Mobile: the wood work has been assembled, and now needs some varnishing before I put all the electronics in. The electronics has been moved from a breadboard to full soldered vero board.
On the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maker Projects &#8211; Alex&#8217;s Mobile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've added a new section to my projects pages, and put a page in place for the baby mobile I'm creating for Alex.
I've back dated a load of the updates, as I'd been meaning to post blog entries about the work, but hadn't gotten round to it.
So far I have a 3d design worked out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alex&#8217;s Mobile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to make a mobile for my son Alex, as most mobiles I've seen look fantastic from the top where the parents are (i.e. the ones buying the mobile!), but from underneath are boring.
So I decided this one would be different, and I would be able to upgrade it as he ages.
It will involve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some of the general Maker style projects I'm working on.
Most of these will be electronics based, but may well also pull in different disciplines.
Such as the Baby Mobile I'm making for Alex, which entails, woodwork, mold making, design and electronics.

		<title>Contraptor Shipped!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got word from the Contraptor team the other day.
My Contraptor kit has been shipped, and should be with me shortly.
The team had some issues with the initial run of kits, so I'm getting a Beta set, and they will ship me a corrected version, when they get the fabrication issues sorted out, at their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Facebook performance woes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today Facebook launched their new privacy settings and forced all their users to update their settings.
We noticed at Yahoo! that we were started to get lots of timeouts from Facebook's APIs that we use on the Yahoo! homepage.
I've not heard anything official from Facebook yet, so this next part is all speculation.
I suspect that as [...]]]></description>

		<title>TGIMBOEJ Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TGIMBOEJ has left the building.
It has been posted on to a fellow hacker in Kent.
In the end I added quite a lot of stuff to the box. Amongst other things a 6MP CCD from an old Fujitsu S20 pro camera, a bunch of motors from CD-ROM and floppy drives and a few discreet ICs
Soon I [...]]]></description>

		<title>TGIMBOEJ Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has landed.
There is some neat stuff in the box and I'll been sending it on shortly. I have a bunch of junk to add, and here are the photos.
I've removed a board that contained a load of backlit LCD buttons, probably to be integrated into the chest of a robot of the as an  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheesoid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My work colleagues were ribbing me over my recent robot addiction, and circulated a link to this video on YouTube of Mitchell and Webb's Cheesoid sketch.
I happened to have an Arduino Mega and a recently purchased WaveShield in my laptop bag.
So that lunchtime I mocked up a cardboard box with the Arduino + WaveShield with [...]]]></description>

		<title>TGIMBOEJ Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I spotted an email in my inbox from a guy named Conrad.
He had contacted me because he had seen my name on the TGIMBOEJ.org, a site that coordinates Migratory Boxes of Electric Junk on the Internet.
My name has been down on this site for at least a year, finally I get to participate!
So within [...]]]></description>
