		<title>Weekend Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend I:

attended a public PhD défense and subsequent party at the EPFL
took a Saturday morning wander around Lausanne &#8211; this is one Swiss city I could actually like: with its crazy hills and soaring bridges, Saturday morning vegetable market bringing crowds into the old town centre, lots of nice fun little shops and views [...]]]></description>

		<title>Contrast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favourite things about visiting San Francisco is simply walking the streets and part of the attraction of the streets is the street art found on buildings all over the city. Mission District is the most famous and probably has the most murals but I stumbled on these contrasting efforts in the Tenderloin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saturday in Sausalito</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I first visited California about five years ago on a music trip and two thoughts have remained with me:

how much I preferred San Francisco to Los Angeles
the lights on the hills crossing the Golden Gate on our way to Sausalito

Ever since, I&#8217;ve avoided Los Angeles and vowed to explore those Sausalito hills. Today would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend I/we:

Booked a flight and hotel for San Francisco. Barring volcanic ash, I leave Thursday.
Started building the wooden drummer model kit I picked up at the Science Museum in London. I like the idea of these and like having them in the house but can&#8217;t help feeling a little concerned that it means I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>May Day Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This May Day (Labour Day) weekend,

I saw Dianne Reeves at the Tonhalle. If I had to sum her up in one word, it would be &#8220;energy&#8221;. A wide range of styles, from skat through gospel through standards. She sings her band introductions, she recounts (with great fondness) being directed by George Clooney in &#8220;Good Night [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goldberg Variations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Man walks out onto stage, sits down at the keyboard, plays the entire Goldberg Variations from beginning to end, gets up and walks back in again.
At least, I imagine that&#8217;s what happened: I missed the first couple of variations and, being new here and all, opened the wrong door into the church in &#8211; of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Swiss Gingerman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little bundle of joy appeared on the doorstep this morning minutes before leaving the house for a weekend in Amsterdam. Sure, the management company charges 50 CHF for a few postbox and doorbell name tags but then they go and do this.

		<title>Weekend Diary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope to slowly work my way through my copy of &#8220;Prime Guide Zurich 2008/2009&#8243;, which I picked up at Pile of Books (#92) a few weeks back. This afternoon, thanks to an early furniture delivery &#8211; which unexpectedly included delivery &#8211; I had time to visit a couple more:

A nice shop [...]]]></description>

		<title>Detroit: Alternative Future, Now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If, like me, you grew up watching bad (albeit classic) 1980s genre movies like &#8220;Robocop&#8221;, Detroit was the ultimate dystopian city of the future: gangs of marauding vigilantes roamed the streets; ordinary people eking out an existence hoping to avoid the trouble around them for one more day; mega-corporations peopled by amoral executives in glassy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Furniture Shopping in Zurich Without a Car</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unfurnished apartment living is a new world for a Dubliner newly arrived in Switzerland: while you avoid the possibility of inheriting a hideous couch, you had better find your own couch fast (and consider how it will look in your next apartment and how easy it will be to move). I spent a little time [...]]]></description>
