		<title>Kazuma Ikezawa action figure</title>

		<description><![CDATA[This blog usually has between 100 to 200 visitors a day. Needless to say I was a bit taken aback as I just checked the statistics: 2321 visitors yesterday! The reason was a link to this post about vintage boy magazine logotypes. I&#8217;m happy that people take such an interest in graphic design history &#8211; you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Religion as mankind&#8217;s smartest invention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was a time when religion made me see red. This &#8220;opium of the people&#8221; that made them lethargic and mad &#8211; how nice wouldn&#8217;t our world be if it wasn&#8217;t for religion! But that time was when I was 20 years old. Then followed a period when I respected religion, since something practiced by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Books I read in 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2011 was a great year. I published two books and one magazine. I learned Japanese quite fiercely, and went to Japan twice. And I probably had my most social year ever, meeting friends more or less every day, and partying quite hard! However, I hardly read at all in 2011. In fact, I haven&#8217;t read [...]]]></description>

		<title>German politician does a Barbra Streisand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m seldom impressed by the press, and I seldom laugh out loud when reading news articles. But today I was, and did! Berlin paper Tagesspiegel has a story on politicians who, like the German president Christian Wulff, have attempted to tell the press what they should publish and not. The first example is that of [...]]]></description>

		<title>I ♥ Japanese food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Food is one of the things I love with Japan &#8211; and hate with Germany. Here are some of the dishes I had during my December trip to Tokyo. The first photos are from an &#8220;izakaya&#8221; that specialised in sake. I was taken there by a Japanese-American friend of mine, but only remembered to document [...]]]></description>
