		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a cycling geek. I love it: the romance of the road; the century of history; the epic duels; the famous climbs. It&#8217;s a sport not without its scandals but still markedly different from the world of primadonna footballers with fans shelling out hundreds of pounds just to watch a match. I&#8217;m also a journalism [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago I was approached by John Mair of the University of Northampton who&#8217;d attended my class at the Guardian&#8217;s Digital Journalism masterclass. He asked me if I&#8217;d be up for speaking at a mini-conference for journalism students titled &#8220;Imagine journalism in ten years&#8217; time&#8221;. I went along and presented my thoughts, along with [...]]]></description>

I really enjoyed the weekend and found it a beautiful and fascinating place, and these are some of the moments which stood out to me as different or unexpected. Positive or negative, they&#8217;ll stay with me as memories. &#8212; On the Metro, taking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In moments of downtime I think about that Paul Graham post about frighteningly ambitious startup ideas; specifically the part  about generating ideas: One of my tricks for generating startup ideas is to imagine the ways in which we&#8217;ll seem backward to future generations. And I&#8217;m pretty sure that to people 50 or 100 years in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Note: My last blogpost was about my 2013 resolution: avoiding negativity, cynicism and spite. This entry might come across as negative criticism but my rationale here is to highlight what I think is an injustice, and look toward positive improvements that could fix this problem. With that qualification out of the way, let&#8217;s begin! A [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not usually the type for new year&#8217;s resolutions: generally my attitude for self-improvement (when I can be bothered) is to just get on with it rather than wait around for arbitrary periods. At the end of 2011, though, I decided to make my first real &#8220;resolution&#8221;, which turned out to be more of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday evening the Guardian (full disclosure: my employer) published an article by the eminent investigative journalist David Leigh, titled &#8220;A £2-a-month levy on broadband could save our newspapers&#8221;. Leigh, a veteran report who worked (amongst other things) on the Wikileaks data and the Jonathan Aitken investigation, outlines his credentials immediately with his opening gambit around [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The dust has now settled on Menshn&#8217;s recent relaunch, so therefore I&#8217;m revisiting the site after my initial write-up about it, written back in July. The headline feature of this new design is a mobile version, so along with my original criticisms, I&#8217;ll also cover the new territory too. It wasn&#8217;t the most auspicious of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it makes me sad that I&#8217;ll never be the King of England. It&#8217;s not that I harbour secret desires to dress in ermine, or really feel like my morning routine needs a butler awaiting me with a pre-foamed toothbrush. It&#8217;s more simple: the fact that I, a common-born man of no high standing, can never [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Menshn is a bold idea. Aiming to replace Twitter is no small thing (I say &#8220;replace&#8221; because the site doesn&#8217;t augment existing use of Twitter but offers a new service entirely) and it&#8217;s a brave move to do. It perhaps goes without saying that the project would&#8217;ve already died on its arse without the high-profile [...]]]></description>
