He was supposed to have been making loads off of that. As well as doing the odd dodgy VR installation piece of artwork.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Neil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Thomas Dolby's new gig: ringtone producer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/25/thomas-dolbys-new-gig-ringtone-producer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/25/thomas-dolbys-new-gig-ringtone-producer/</guid><description><![CDATA[The old myth was that he was the son of the creator of the Dolby noise-reduction process.
