		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been some growing chatter lately about what&#8217;s in store with Drupal 7. Curious to learn more, I was reading up on the Drupal 7 User Experience Project and as I scanned through the pages, I noticed something: the Drupal 7 User Experience Project site is using WordPress! This may seem innocuous at first, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend and fellow highedweb colleague recently shared some thoughts about usability, questioning the value it brings to the overall web design process, ultimately proposing that usability is in fact not that important when it really comes down to it (you can read Rommil&#8217;s full article here: Useless Usability: Missing the Forest for the Trees) [...]]]></description>

Over the course of almost thirty years, I've had stitches in my foot, broken my foot, sprained both ankles (multiple times), torn cartilege in one knee, had stitches in the other, sprained my thumb, had stitches through a finger, separated my shoulder, and...actually, I think that covers it.

All in all, I won't complain too much, but as far as user experiences go, hospitals have a ways to go.]]></description>
