		<title>Mood Boards with Pinterest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I may be a bit late to the party, but I just joined Pinterest. Mostly it seems to be used for crafts, recipes, interior design, and fashion, and my friends that enjoy those things have been on it for a while (beating my early adopter techy friends at early adoption). After playing with it a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alternative voices for NVDA!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re using NVDA to test your website accessibility (which you should! (Note to self: actually do that on this blog&#8230;)), you may be as pleased as I am to discover that there are some alternative voices you can use in place of the default synthesizer. I had been using Microsoft Anna with the Microsoft [...]]]></description>

		<title>ARIA, feature detection, and the lowest common denominator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past couple of months I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of work with accessibility.  Parts of the design of the website I&#8217;m working on are very dynamic, with ajax and inline changes and dialogs.  It&#8217;s relatively easy to get these things to be keyboard accessible (though that has its difficulties, too, perhaps that&#8217;s another [...]]]></description>

		<title>Email contact nicknames</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I always find it a little jarring when I see email in my inbox from my parents with their full names. I don&#8217;t think of my parents as Carol and Larry, they&#8217;re mom and dad. It&#8217;s worse when I want to send it&#8211;I think every single time I write an email to my mother I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Touchscreens, games, and Fitts&#8217; Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about mobile design lately&#8211;what makes a good small-screen design, what makes a good touch-screen design, and how does that compare to devices that have  a cursor like some Blackberry models, etc.  To that end, I&#8217;ve been trying out a lot of mobile apps. One that I was playing with recently [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things in their proper place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m always thinking about design. Sometimes this leads to some really nerdy observations at inappropriate moments, but my friends say they love me anyway. Lately, having just finished (hah, &#8220;finished&#8221;&#8230;) moving, I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about design with regards to furniture arrangement. It&#8217;s absolutely amazing how much less stuff I feel like I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stupid css tricks: line breaks in lists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Periodically I encounter some problem with html and css layouts that could be solved by adding a few extra presentational tags to the html source (like &#60;br/&#62; or text bullets in the case I&#8217;m about to describe), but there&#8217;s no easy way to do it in CSS.  I almost always end up caving and doing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reminders, part 4 &#8211; deleting accounts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last piece of account management for the reminders project that I haven&#8217;t mentioned yet is account deletion.  One of the goals I try to keep in mind is that every action should be reversible.  So if you create an account, you should be able to delete it.  But the converse should also be true&#8211;if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reminders, part 3 &#8211; registration and login flow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the goals of the reminders project is to simplify everything as much as possible.  That includes the login and registration processes and the auxiliary features that go with them like forgotten password resets, other password changes, and email changes as well as the actual reminder creation and completion.  Sometimes it seems like the [...]]]></description>
