		<title>A moment that made me realize how fortunate we are.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday morning while approaching the train stop, I noticed a soldier in full battle fatigues, boots laced and carrying a full pack.

		<title>Difference between art and design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday at MeYou Health we had an interesting interview with a potential new designer. The conversation included what she thought the difference between art and design were. It got me thinking about how I perceive them. Here are my thoughts: Art is an expression of emotion. It&#8217;s communication mechanism is feeling. A great artist makes [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s a time line of it through the ages. 20 Years of Photoshop I started using Photoshop back in the summer of 1992 with version 2.0.

		<title>Fake usernames</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re like me, you spend a good deal of time mocking screens. If you are working in an application with users then you often need to create fake user names for your screens. Since I can&#8217;t stand using John Doe and quickly run out of names I decided to create a list I can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Setting the bar high</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At work as part of the employee planning and performance initiative, we have these things called GAOs. It&#8217;s an acronym. For what I have no clue. It&#8217;s basic goal setting and tracking. Every review period I put the same goal. Goal: Establish myself as a world class interaction designer. I keep that goal there to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aligning data with a decimal point using JQuery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I received a real brain twister of a question from @ganarce on my Twitter page. He wanted to know if there was a way to align data within a table using a decimal point &#8220;.&#8221;. Seemed like a fairly routine type of formatting (invoices, data etc.). Without massaging the data ahead of time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.&#8221; -Sam Walton I love the simplicity of this quote.

		<title>A little about visual hierarchy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Use visual hierarchy as a method to guide the user. It should show relationships and priorities between elements on the page. If communicated well, it should be clear to the user what the preferred course of action should be. Without visual hierarchy the user is left trying to decide what information is more important.
