		<title>Donate to Open Source Projects &amp; Technology Non-Profits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A current project of mine has me working out an engagement strategy for a technology based non-profit. I&#8217;m sort of appalled at a few things, one of which is how little is researched or written on Technology non-profits and funding for Free and Open Source (FOS) projects, aside for a heated debate whether or not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Representatives, Please reject the Internet Blacklist Bills (PROTECT IP Act in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House) in their current form. Even as someone who has had their intellectual property used without consent by so called &#8220;rogue&#8221; websites, I can not stand behind these acts in their current form. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crickets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I know. It&#8217;s been a while. It happens. Can I just take a moment to say how awesome my friends are&#8230;and not just the ones who have been in my life for 10+ years. Faithful twitter friends are sending me emails to make sure I haven&#8217;t died. I haven&#8217;t, I can assure you. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Engage Me.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;You must first engage users&#8230;&#8221; There it was. Sitting there in 14pt black and white pixels: one giant statement of hypocrisy. The most un-engaging statement&#8230;in the world. Engage. Buzzwords are surprisingly unengaging. They are empty compared to what they should be. They act as stand-ins to a bountiful plethora of rich, meaty ideas that could [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arena</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Animation in UX: Breathe Life Into It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Believability. That is what we were striving for &#8230; belief in the life of the characters. That, after all, is the dictionary definition and meaning of the word &#8216;animation&#8217;: to invoke life.&#8221; Chuck Jones, describing animation at Warner Brothers via The Role of Emotion in Believable Agents by Joseph Bates In case you haven&#8217;t been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gestalt Closure Principle Emotionally Negative in Logo Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent study from Boston College found that companies who employ the Gestalt Closure Principle in their logo design may be creating negative emotion in consumers who respond to the fragmented element with distrust. On the other hand, &#8220;Incompleteness may be interpreted as unclear communication, which can lead to the perception that the firm is [...]]]></description>

		<title>on Fairwells and the good fight in content strategy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had to take a moment from trying to get plans together for the upcoming workshop in Johannesburg and a few upcoming articles to write this. I came across Ethan Remmel&#8217;s blog Living While Dying on @PsychologyToday a few days back. It stopped me instantly in my tracks and gradually I broke down into tears [...]]]></description>

In the laboratory it&#8217;s called &#8220;behavioral research,&#8221; in business it&#8217;s called &#8220;management,&#8221; in sales it&#8217;s called &#8220;CRM,&#8221; and in dating it&#8217;s called &#8220;issues&#8221;.]]></description>
