			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have had some busy times around here. The most recent <a href="http://miupa.org/fresh/what-makes-an-effective-user-experience-professional-and-team-the-ux-practitioner-perspectives/">Michigan Usability Professionals&#8217; Association meeting</a> was just last week, and I was one of the panelists, talking about what makes for a great UX practitioner. I was honored and surprised that someone thought I had the answer!</p>
<p>It was a great panel session, though. It felt like it was over too soon, and I love opportunities to have to put my thoughts into words. Explaining things is always an opportunity for greater understanding.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going &#8220;heads down&#8221; this week to do some deep thinking on my professional volunteering obligations, and we&#8217;ve got another great event coming up at the end of March. What I&#8217;ve really been slacking off on is figuring out if I&#8217;m going to try to be a contributer to this year&#8217;s Internet User Experience conference&#8230; I feel very close, but it&#8217;s one thing to have an idea and another thing to take the time to put those thoughts into words. But if I do, the reward will be great as far as increased understanding goes.</p>
