		<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[Dr. Duck has done wonderful work towards outreach and encouraging children to pursue science and math. His name is on several papers that I have come to love, rereading as if they were a beloved novel. I wanted to work with him. Up until I met him. Oh, and did meeting him hurt. My chest, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My department encourages undergraduates to do research beginning in their freshman year. I get the impression that many schools limit this to a senior design project, which is rather saddening. I&#8217;ve stopped reading my CS text books because, well, they&#8217;re just not helpful. But then, trying to learn anything more unusual like how to use [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve stated before, I need to create one embedded systems and one artificial intelligence project this semester. From both professors, I have gotten the impression that the project is intended to demonstrate that I learned something. So, rather than worry about the scale, I&#8217;ve decided to combine the two projects into a super-project. Not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alright, the standard belief is that people who want equal access, rights, etc. are stereotypically people that fall into the group that are being marginalized. I am by no measure blind; my nearsightedness is easily corrected with glasses. I am an individual with behavioral, learning, and pain disorders that affect my interactions with society.
