		<description><![CDATA[I like it when I see a future idea I had being brought into some kind of reality. No ideas are original, so the idea of a road generating power via solar panels is not ground-breaking in itself but still, it means I&#8217;m not a dribbling idiot&#8230;which is always nice to confirm. I get &#8216;Popular [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the third chapter of my novel, Railroaded, which means the first three chapters are now online, the requirement of most literary agents. So now you can read the opening to this novel, put yourself in an agent&#8217;s position&#8230;and send me a rejection. I&#8217;m blaming the cover letter at the moment. You can read the [...]]]></description>

Isaac slowly stirred and pulled the duvet over his head and revelled in the silence. Isaac had avoided the temperature controlled bed since Nicole had passed away, a guilty [...]]]></description>

Of course, companies have always tried to do this but with more powerful technology at cheaper prices, the amount and type of information they can gather increases. &#8216;Railroaded&#8217; [...]]]></description>

An agent came back and asked to see the full manuscript of &#8216;Railroaded&#8217;, but then quickly rejected the whole thing. I&#8217;ll ignore the obvious negative and take some positives;  I grabbed the interest of a literary professional and, albeit briefly, viewed the slush pile from [...]]]></description>

The other day I came across the &#8216;Bump&#8216; iphone app that now does exactly that.  Instead of pressing a button you simply turn the app on and &#8216;bump&#8217; the phones together. I admit their execution is better but I [...]]]></description>

Probably not a positively eye-catching sub-genre on the face of it but the idea behind it is it only uses science and technology that is either acheivable or extremely, very nearly acheivable.
