		<description><![CDATA[ Because I just moved from New Zealand back to Belgium* I’ve missed what I can only imagine was a grand unveiling of the Auckland super city logo competition, much to the shock and horror of designers from the Far North to Invercargill. No doubt cries of ‘bang-for-buck’ and ’say to no to spec-work’ were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 

For many years now words have been my companion. Though not as avid a reader as I would like to suggest and though not as dedicated a writer as I would like to imagine, nonetheless playing with words is part of my repertoire. For me, concepts are always language-based (and therefore meaning-based). Design comes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ When I was a child my family referred to soft-drinks with the generic name &#8216;coke&#8217;. If you were not from the midwest, perhaps you would have been perplexed at the following exchange:
Waitress: &#8220;What sort of coke do you want?&#8221;
Dad: &#8220;Dr. Pepper.&#8221;
Recently a colleague and I rewrote the course description for a class called &#8216;Internet [...]]]></description>

Having not been in New Zealand long enough to know who he is, I was pleased to find out from my friends that he&#8217;s quite the character.

		<description><![CDATA[ I have done this once before quite humbly, and then somehow it turned into some sort of self-fanaticism. This, I promise you, is meant to give my life a bit of order. A way to not lose things.
When I write, in whatever format it begins or becomes, it&#8217;s an attempt to get something down [...]]]></description>

 Website: http://www.staplecrop.com
There is perhaps nothing that we exchange more as tangible objects than currency.
For the first 6 years of my life my family lived in a suburban neighborhood, complete with two cul-de-sacs. In our neighborhood lived a woman who saved up pennies throughout the year and offered them up by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ As published in: Threaded (a design magazine), Issue 3, 2005
Website: http://www.threaded.co.nz
I imagine that hanging out with a generative/programming/design guru closely resembles that of hanging out with an indie rock star. Those that are &#8216;in the know&#8217; know just how big he is and those that don&#8217;t, don&#8217;t. In this respect, design is not like [...]]]></description>
