		<description><![CDATA[Note: This is very US-centric. I get the impression that a lot of HCI professionals never matured past the &#8220;picture on the fridge&#8221; stage. If you read enough SIGCHI papers, it becomes that the &#8220;human&#8221; part is for NSF-funding rather than actually caring about people. And its understandable: we are very self rather than communally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been some really neat things going around the Internet this summer. Yet, none were quite long enough to justify writing a post on. So, I guess this is my version of a link dump. These aren&#8217;t particularly interesting to anyone. Just pop culture thought bunnies that have been in the back of my mind: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, this past month has been a whirlwind. Had to pack and move (don&#8217;t recommend moving down and up stairs). Got an internship, which has had me jumping through all sort of hoops.
