		<title>Avenue Q: The Review.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday evening, I went to see Avenue Q at Her Majesty&#8217;s Theatre. I enjoyed this experience immensely. Having heard all the music before (courtesy of it being my brother&#8217;s WoW soundtrack for a while) I already knew it was amusing, witty, and catchy. What I wasn&#8217;t counting on was it being side-splittingly funny and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Australia Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Patriotism (n): devoted love, support, and defense of one&#8217;s country; national loyalty.
Nationalism (n):  excessive patriotism; chauvinism.
Chauvinism (n): zealous and aggressive patriotism or blind enthusiasm for military glory.
It’s that time of year again; the rednecks show up, get shitfaced, loudly proclaim their love of beer, the southern cross, and Sam Kekovich, and then declare that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Confessions of a bibliophile (or, Why I&#8217;m Not Culling My Book Collection)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My name is Emma, and I am a chronic bibliophile. I recently began cataloguing my personal library (after all, what else does one do with a barcode scanner and spare hard drive space?) and have discovered that there are an awful lot of books in this house. It was suggested by someone I was speaking [...]]]></description>

		<title>A lower standard of behaviour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following on from my post &#8220;Interesting to the Public&#8221;, I&#8217;m writing today about another topic that has arisen from Rann-gate.
My question is this: Should we hold our leaders to a higher standard of behaviour than that of the general public?
It used to be that what was OK for Uncle Jimmy (shaving a bit off taxes [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Interesting to the Public&#8221; and the commercialisation of news</title>
		<description><![CDATA[EDIT: My family informed me on our holiday (quite forcefully in fact) that this post sounds like I&#8217;m saying Mike Rann did it. I am not, in fact, saying this. Really, I don&#8217;t think that he did it &#8211; the whole thing seems a bit strange (why has she come out with this now? And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Herr Lagerfeld and the great chip-eating stoush of 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a very civilised and mild disagreement on The Punch this week. Tory Maguire (editor) and Kate Ellis (Labour member for Adelaide, and widely regarded as the hottest chick in politics) disagree over comments made by Karl Lagerfeld, German fashion designer.
This all started because a German fashion magazine decided that it would no longer user [...]]]></description>

		<title>Piracy, intellectual property, and copyright reform (part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[PART 1: Piracy
Before I launch into a rundown on piracy and illegal file sharing, I will let you know right now that my expertise (if you consider an honours thesis to be an area of expertise) is in communication ethics, not law, so if I say things that make you lulz and say &#8220;Silly Bosun, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Responsibility on the Internet: Part I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a very slight tidy up of the original article on my first blog, &#8220;Antique Song&#8221; from the 19th of February, 2009. If you want to read the original, go ahead &#8211; it&#8217;s not going anywhere. It&#8217;s the first of a series of posts I intend on writing around the idea of responsibility on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Actual Results May Vary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My name is Emma. I have a first class honours degree in Philosophy (although you wouldn&#8217;t think it, given my usual standard of argument). I have a second major in English and scream at misplaced apostrophes (but I love lolcats). I have classical voice lessons (but listen to The Who, Deep Purple, and Doris Day). [...]]]></description>
