		<title>Lulu Book Publishing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are ever considering publishing a book, you should check out Lulu.com. I haven&#8217;t used it myself, but have a friend that has used it, and have heard good things. Plus, any company that cares this much about design must be doing something right, right?

		<title>The Cult of Done Manefesto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This idea reminds me of another&#8230; the 80% is good enough for now rule (I made that up). It goes this way: It&#8217;s better to have something 80% done today, even if it isn&#8217;t perfect, than to have something 100% done and have it be late.

		<title>Elevator Button</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading the Elevator Button Problem. A short story about how even something as simple as the elevator button needs to be designed.
Even crazier, the article mentions a Paternoster. A sort of elevator that never stops. Watch this video for a demonstration. It does not look safe!
