			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.benlacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/oem-screen.png" class="img_left" />I just launched a site that I&#8217;ve been working on for a couple months for <a href="http://www.kwfdn.org" target="_blank">KnowledgeWorks Foundation</a>, a new initiative called <a href="http://www.ohioeducationmatters.org" target="_blank">Ohio Education Matters</a>. The site sets out to inform the public about the state of education in Ohio, and to a lesser degree, the rest of the country.</p>
<p>My duties included designing the site, as well as setting up the Drupal 6 instance that makes up the meat and potatoes of the site.  Some aspects of Drupal were less than ideal for what the site needed, but it all worked out in the end.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ohioeducationmatters.org" target="_blank">Check it out</a>, and enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President-elect Barack Obama has released his first weekly address on his new site, <a href="http://www.change.gov/">change.gov</a>.  The fact that he&#8217;s doing this means so many things: it shows the pro-activity that we have to look forward to, and it shows the world that we have an intelligent, thoughtful, and eloquently-spoken man to lead our country.  Who knows, maybe the other countries of the world will stop laughing at us now.</p>
<p>The site itself, which was obviously designed by the same folks responsible for his campaign site, is quite captivating as well.  It admirably meets all the goals one would expect from such a site: visual unity, a sense of regality, tasteful typography, and readability.  Quite a bit of information is presented on the home page, yet spacing and color are used judiciously to lead the eye through the visual hierarchy.</p>
<p>The way our next President is handling every aspect of his upcoming office <em>already</em> is a sign of what we have to look forward to in the next four years: responsibility, intelligence, thoughtfulness, and dedication. It&#8217;s about time.</p>
