		<title>An &#8220;Old School&#8221; Podcamp Presentation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the highlights for me at this past weekend&#8217;s Podcamp Toronto 2010 was Robin Browne&#8217;s session on Mobile Social Media (audio available here). To me, the impetus for the session, the way it came together, and the way it was conducted were indicative of what a Podcamp session was meant to be.

		<title>It&#8217;s Not Inevitable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I went downtown to pick up my new passport. I had last been in the  passport office on the 29th of January to submit my application.

		<description><![CDATA[


It is snowing lightly outside, and it is a very quiet morning. The snow is unbroken by prints from boots, shoes or tire treads, and its colour is a most un-Toronto white. To me it seems symbolic of the new year: promise, potential and fragility. One set of tire tracks will break the spell.
The sense [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barriers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So much of the news has been about barriers recently: stories commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall, continued commentary on the Security Wall in Israel and the occupied territories, the security barriers on the U.S./Mexico, and just in the last couple of days we&#8217;ve had had not a physical barrier but a security-driven barrier [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Around the corner from our home is a house where the owners have decorated an external tree with real Christmas ornaments and real candy canes. The first time I saw them a few days ago I have to admit one of the first thoughts I had was &#8220;aren&#8217;t they worried about theft/vandalism?&#8221; But the last [...]]]></description>

		<title>Make Peace on Earth the &#8220;It&#8221; Gift This Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am writing this as someone experiencing my first agnostic Christmas season in many years, but one phrase is resonating for me right now, and that is &#8220;Peace on Earth&#8221; Now I am not speaking specifically about world peace; many before have done that much better than I can. The kind of peace I am [...]]]></description>
