		<title>Common Sense Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[UPDATED] I added the results of the quiz below. Check out those swanky graphs!
I&#8217;ve been re-reading one of my go-to UX books, Human Performance Engineering by Dr Robert Bailey.
Particularly, I&#8217;ve been focusing on the chapter about assessing the validity of test results.  I mean, who doesn&#8217;t need a refresher on f testing? The chapter [...]]]></description>

		<title>Usability Testing to Find Opportunities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Colorado State University (CSU) hired me to do usability testing on their recently redesigned site for Continuing Education. The focus was on perspective students; those who might be interested in taking classes online via CSU.

		<title>The Problem With Radio Buttons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made a mistake.

I clicked the X in the lower right corner of the screenshot above. Just as I was about to click it I thought, &#8220;That&srquo;s an odd place for a Delete button&#8230;&#8221;

		<title>Begin Agains</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first graduated from college (ya know&#8230; last century?) I made a resume. It wasn&#8217;t long by any means, but I titled it &#8220;A Begin Again.&#8221; I figured resumé was just a fancy way of saying resume; which is to say, to begin again.
I&#8217;ve had a number of Begin Agains since. And in that [...]]]></description>
