		<title>UI POV: Actor or Augmentation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I was doing a bit of moonlighting of a fun project a former colleague has graciously asked me to work on with him. I love these opportunities and I welcome them (hint, hint). It helps me stay connected to practice. During the design phase a conversation ensued about the use of a label. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Emotion, devotion, elation, &#8230; etc. etc.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today there was a rare piece in Techcrunch about user experience. The person keyed in on making a user experience memorable. And ya can&#8217;t argue w/ that. What it reminded me of was the one-off presentation I gave June 2009 at the From Business to Buttons conference in Malmo, Sweden. So I think I&#8217;ll reprise [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lets face it, we are visual communicators &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I was pointed to a blog post by an IxD (@jseiden) questioning the need for visual design skills. Below is more answer. Seriously, give it up, you need to work on your drawing skills, or at least your envisioning skills. You want to work on behavioral systems then you have to design not just &#8220;the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Higher Ed: It&#8217;s never just been about educating people</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today Bill Gates at the new Techonomy conference (which looks like an amazing event/organization) suggested that In Five Years The Best Education Will Come From The Web. It is a great read via @techcrunch who have been covering this conference really well. But reading this and listening to the Gov. of Minnesota on the Daily Show [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is in a sound? Behavior, motivation &amp; dissecting a brand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve had a lot of offline discussions about my little call for designs of a Harley Davidson car. One major recurring theme is the importance of the sound of the vehicle. That low slow baritone sound coming out of the exhaust that you can hear a mile away defines the Harley experience as much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harley Davidson Car Design Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What the heck. I&#8217;m looking for a new car. I always wanted a Harley. Why shouldn&#8217;t Harley go into the car business. I mean if Honda and Suzuki can do it, why not Harley Davidson. Combining the brand appeal that is stronger than Mini, VW, and BMW with a larger market size can&#8217;t be a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why designers do need to know code &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today on Twitter @odannyboy and @russwilson were doing a quick back and forth about whether designers need to know how to build what it is they are designing for. In the conversation @odannyboy pointed to this well reasoned piece explaining the point of view that it is actually bad for designers to not only know [...]]]></description>
