		<title>BREAKING NEWS!!! (i think)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier today, a certain UA development company sent out an email to all the members in its registered database with the phrase: DITA 10-29-08.
Of course, you know who it is, and what they are selling, so there&#8217;s no need to tell you. Not being a DITA developer (I know, I&#8217;m the last to jump on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mars (dis)information</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another August is here, and that means it&#8217;s time for the Mars/Moon emails to start going around again.
If you haven&#8217;t received one, they go something like this:
Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August!
It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultivate on Aug. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Awed and bummed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the years BK (before kids), the wife and I used to chase eclipses. Nothing &#8212; and I mean NOTHING &#8211; is more mind-blowing than standing in the shadow of the Moon.
So I&#8217;ve been pretty bummed the past few years, as family responsibilities have kept me from seeing the past few eclipses. Especially when I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Touchscreen interfaces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tom at IRBW has posted some guidelines on creating online help for touchscreen applications.
It&#8217;s interesting timing, as that&#8217;s a task that I&#8217;ve been currently tackling. If human factors standards are being used, it&#8217;s an exceptionally difficult challenge to meet.
I&#8217;ll be sharing some lessons learned soon, but I&#8217;d thought I&#8217;d open it up for discussion first. [...]]]></description>

		<title>monkeyPi&#8217;s Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I&#8217;ve come across several blog posts that have brought up the issue of Technical Writing versus Writing.
At its core, writing is just recorded communication that&#8217;s transferred without the use of verbal speech. If you communicate to someone else (or yourself) using a pencil and paper, or a laptop running Office 12, or even a [...]]]></description>

		<title>How well do you know your fonts?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Have you a typographer&#8217;s eye? Head on over to ILT to test your skills.
I wish I could impress you with a high score, but my first attempt was an embarrassing 22 (average is 23).

		<title>A Digg for Technical Communicators</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tom Johnson of IWBW has created a social news service for Technical Communicators.
I’ve been a long-time reader of Digg.com, but just last week it dawned on me that it would be really great if there were a Digg-like site for technical communication. So I decided to create one. It’s called WriterRiver.com and it’s pretty much [...]]]></description>
