		<title>On a new bent with the coffee table</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The coffee table I&#8217;m making took a new turn the other week. Instead of the long curved bend, I decided to make a different bent piece instead. This was more because of skill level rather than any aesthetic reason (although the new bend looks much nicer I think!). The simple curve was meant to meet [...]]]></description>

		<title>A bender of a weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The wedding coffee table I am building is coming along nicely so far. I&#8217;ve almost finished the top and have build the main frame which includes the legs and aprons. So far, this has all gone quite smoothly.
This weekend however I had to venture into unknown territory &#8211; bending. Having not done this before I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The start of a wedding coffee table</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just gotten my first official woodworking commission! Alright, it&#8217;s through a friend of mine but the eventual owner of the piece is someone I have never met so I guess that counts! The commission is for a coffee table to be given as a wedding gift. A reasonably safe/traditional design but with some elements [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flag mystery solved &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I finally managed to get through to someone who could give me answers to the mysterious flag issue I wrote about earlier. The Honorable Allan Griffin current Minster for Veterans&#8217; Affairs called me after I sent an email to his office this morning. Yes, he himself actually called! Unfortunately I didn&#8217;t get to the phone so [...]]]></description>

		<title>A backwards Australian flag?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following is a video of the ceremony which recently took place in Fromelles for the the 250 unidentified British and Australian soldiers who died during a First World War conflict. Take a very close look at the first few seconds of the video. Notice anything odd?

If you didn&#8217;t spot it, here&#8217;s a crop of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is software creative?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not one for a big upfront design. Spending time getting every detail documented in a Gantt chart and associated MS Word documents doesn&#8217;t sound like a good use of scarce resources. In my woodworking ventures I find that I am also averse to detailed designs of what I will build. Having recently finished Krenov&#8217;s The Impractical Cabinetmaker [...]]]></description>

		<title>Work, Ed said, is social</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The best boss I ever had—Ed Hahn, who directed Organization Development at Mattel—made it clear: You’re only work colleagues until you get to know each other. After that, you’re friends, acquaintances, or enemies. Work, Ed said, is social.
via Facebook at work isn&#8217;t an either/or proposition
In this post, Shel Holtz talks about how Facebook is becoming [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reflections on Google Wave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing with Google Wave for a couple of weeks now and am very impressed with the engineering feat they&#8217;ve delivered on. It is quite a rich application on a very extensible platform which will be interesting to watch grow. There are however some things I feel that need to happen before this can [...]]]></description>

		<title>How long did that take to make?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other evening at my meditation class, one person asked me how long it took me to make my small meditation stool. I made it over a weekend and it only took me 3 or 4 hours to pull together and apply the finish (not including waiting/drying time).
On my way home I found myself thinking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Examples of adaptive challenges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After my last post on the differences between technical and adaptive work, I immediately started thinking about the challenges we see around us and tried to pick apart the technical and adaptive aspects. Here are my brief and random thoughts on these.

Government are talking about energy prices rising. The fact that they are [...]]]></description>
