		<title>Apple 2 in an ammo tin.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hmm, been a while since I updated any of my projects. Been too busy on the Austin 7 project. This is a project I just got back into.

		<title>TARDIS cufflinks.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, after a job change, I decided to stop dressing like a scruffy computer geek and to start being a little more careful with what I wear.

		<title>Building a better NERF gun.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like 90% of other geek offices worldwide we have at work several NERF and similar toy weapons floating about.  These toys typically fire safe foam darts and projectiles. Not impressed with the performance of my colleague Lester&#8217;s NERF Maverick I decided to see if I could build a better NERF gun. Click on the pictures [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I need to come up with a better name for this thing. Anyway, progress is being made. As mentioned I had made up a little mount for the detection coil.

		<title>Parasitic bike pump experiment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I took a break from steam powered record players and railway model dining tables and talking John Steed Thunderbird puppets for a bit to play with something I saw on the Make magazine blog.
