		<title>SXSW Presentation Topic: Your Mom has an iPad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been chosen as a finalist to speak at the SXSW Interactive conference and event. I still need to make it through a couple more rounds before it&#8217;s decided wether or not I get to go.
Vote for my topic on the 2011 SXSW Panel Picker
It’s a cultural phenomenon that most of us didn’t see coming: [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPad app by EffectiveUI: ideate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the app I&#8217;ve been waiting for a device to run.
Most of the work I do is at a whiteboard or with paper and pencil. I throw ideas out there and see if they stick. When I get something I like, I usually end up taking a grainy photo with my phone to send [...]]]></description>

		<title>Login and registration &#8211; narrative approach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This subject seems to be the topic of conversation here at EUI over the last couple of days. Ther have been a few articles floating around.
Leah Culver, web designer, developer, and entrepreneur likes Amazon&#8217;s sign-up/login all-in-one approach and riffs on it a bit. Though the comments both on the blog and here at EUI seem to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reality augmented-reality. Wait, what?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Juan Sanchez just turned me on to a recent TED video where Blaise Aguera y Arcas demos some outrageously thought provoking video of Bing Maps, Seadragon, and Photosynth integration. This is a really excellent example of digital convergence.
The video gets extra special cool when, in real time, there is somebody creating an augmented reality experience where they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social integration, context, &amp; aging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve gone back and forth trying to decide if I want all of my online social spaces to communicate to each other. Most of us have different personas for different social contexts. How we behave during an evening with friends at a bar is very different than how we behave in a church. I&#8217;m finding, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Usability is NOT user experience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we meet new clients and begin discussing the goals of the software project, there&#8217;s often a bit of education that has to take place. A frequent mistake that I see is when people confuse usability and user experience. It&#8217;s an easy mistake, but there are important distinctions that effect the design.
From their book &#8220;Interaction [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google tries to &#8220;Save&#8221; us</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I&#8217;ve been very happy about in newer web interfaces is that I don&#8217;t have to use a &#8220;Save&#8221; button. Google docs and GMail are good examples of these. The system backs up the changes I make while I&#8217;m making them &#8211; or at least frequently enough that I don&#8217;t feel compelled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interview on Ecommerce Developer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Armando Roggio interviewed me about the book on ECommerce Developer. The audio cuts out because I&#8217;m pacing back and forth while speaking on the phone and evidently there&#8217;s a dead spot in the office. Still, the interview went well and Armando was very gracious. Check it out for some further discussion about topics in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upcoming conferences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to be doing a workshop at the Government 2.0 Expo in Washington D.C. in May. I&#8217;m not sure what time slot, but I think that the workshop lasts 90 minutes! This is really exciting. I have so many ideas already, but if anyone has something that they would particularly like to work on, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nice breakdown of the Apple store checkout redesign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Luke Wroblewski has a really nice write up of the new Apple store checkout process. There are some solid principals in paly here. It&#8217;s really nice to see a large company doing something that we have been trying to convince clients of for a little while. Although showing people Apple&#8217;s design and saying &#8220;here, look [...]]]></description>
