		<title>Urgent EVOKE: Agent Ninmah is Born</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week, I became an agent in a global network of social innovators.
Urgent EVOKE: A Crash Course in Saving the World opened on March 3, 2010. It&#8217;s a game, a learning experience, a training simulation, and a journey all in one. It was designed and is directed by Jane McGonigal for the World Bank Institute. [...]]]></description>

		<title>I met a nice tank last night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, a little vocabulary lesson; if you play MMOGs, you can skip this bit. By &#8220;tank&#8221; I am not referring to a heavily armored vehicle, except in the metaphorical sense. In World of Warcraft and similar games, the tank is the best-armored person in the group. His or her job is to engage and hold [...]]]></description>

		<title>visiting Adobe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to start this off with a little disclaimer: I&#8217;m an Adobe fan-girl from way back. I mean way back. Like before Photoshop had layers. Adobe&#8217;s apps are robust, capable, flexible, and not buggy. I&#8217;m proud of the work I&#8217;ve done with them, and like Kathy Sierra says, to turn users into passionate fans, [...]]]></description>

		<title>thoughts on the changing role of the teacher</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a different way to teach, one that involves mentoring and guiding and not lecturing, a way that&#8217;s both harder and easier than the ways it&#8217;s often done now.
This is a concept that has been recurring in my research over the past few years, getting a little clearer each time but still not quite in [...]]]></description>

		<title>my security guard is a lava-breathing puppy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;m a collector. Some are &#8220;official,&#8221; organized collections (stamps, for instance), but many are de facto collections that occurred when I got one of something and discovered there were more of them, or just started gathering things without really organizing or exploring them in great detail (my coin collection falls into this category). I [...]]]></description>

		<title>into the fray</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is not a rant about men. It&#8217;s not even a rant about men who rant about women. It&#8217;s a rant about one particular blog post, and I don&#8217;t really plan to draw any generalizations about either gender from it. In fact, in general I admire and respect the work of the author of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>confessions of a morning twitter lurker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really don&#8217;t like getting up early. I used to; I can remember the hushed, private feeling of being the only one awake in the early dawn, watching the world change with the arrival of the day. I remember being filled with peace, and with wonder about what the day would hold. That was ages [...]]]></description>

		<title>one from the cutting room floor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s one of my favorite times of year: the last few days before the official release of the 2010 Horizon Report. The writing is done, the excitement is building (okay, that&#8217;s probably mostly happening in my head), and I have actually seen it in layout. The cover&#8217;s lovely this year, by the way. You have [...]]]></description>

		<title>getting ready for the holidays&#8230; and sleep</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The presents aren&#8217;t wrapped. Some of them aren&#8217;t even finished (yup, it&#8217;s a hand-made gift year). The decorations are up, at least, so that&#8217;s something, and I put a smattering of holiday cards in the mail this morning. I haven&#8217;t got the grocery shopping squared away for Christmas dinner, I have no planning horizon beyond [...]]]></description>

		<title>loving my TuneBand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;m still happy as a clam with my new shoes, iPhone, and Nike+ combo, and now I have even more to be happy about. After extensive research on Amazon, I selected the TuneBand for iPhone (from Grantwood Technology) as my armband of choice. It wasn&#8217;t the most expensive, and it didn&#8217;t have the most [...]]]></description>
