		<description><![CDATA[Thank God! At long last, it looks as if the diabolical rail infrastructure between Scotland&#8217;s two biggest cities will be getting upgraded. We&#8217;ll not hold our breath but there&#8217;s talk in the press today of six trains an hour, between Queen Street and Waverley and a journey time down to 35 minutes. At the moment, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently stuck up a poll on Linkedin to ask what people thought of ‘the use of bad language&#8217; (swearing) in everyday business life. I’m interested in this because recently a really good wee ‘presentation’ has being doing the rounds. It’s called, depending on where you view it, “What the Fuck is Social Marketing” or, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve actually seen the green shots of recovery in Glasgow city centre. Many may say I’m stretching the physical metaphor of a plant powering through an otherwise concrete landscape too far but where is their optimism? Probably in the same place that they think the economy is in – the doldrums without a hint of [...]]]></description>

Techniques, &#8216;apps&#8217;, nav tips, 3D design techniques&#8230;tons of zany aspects. All of which I didn&#8217;t know about last week. Now, you could look at this alarming speed of change in two ways. [...]]]></description>
