I finally finished editing the second part of the PSL podcast. You can find it here. We have only two registrations available for PSL in Sweden left. Take a look at the information page if you think you’d like to participate.
I was exploring the idea of co-teaching with someone I met several years ago. He now teaches at a local university and no longer works in industry. He wants to teach some kind of agile workshop with me. He said, “I want to teach a thoughtful kind of agile. The kind where you work in
My Stickyminds column, Transitioning to Agile in the Middle of a Project, is up. Enjoy!
I’ve got election fever, I admit it. In the VP debate last week, the moderator asked a useless question: “What is your achilles heel?” (I’m probably paraphrasing the question.) Both candidates treated it as the weakness question, and didn’t answer the question. They each turned the question around to their strengths. What a surprise (not!).
I’m sure you’ve read of the AIG scandal by now. (Here is the Fox News story and here is the CNN story.) Shame is too small a word for those executives. I would love to know where their entitlement comes from. I’d squish it like a bug. Maybe they went to the resort to do
A couple of weeks ago (!), Tobias Fors and Magnus Ljadas interviewed me via skype. I have finally finished the editing of the podcast and it’s posted here. It’s also in iTunes, in the Pragmatic Manager podcast feed. Yes, I need a new microphone. It’s on my list, but not for this week 🙂

If you don’t start a project, you can’t finish it.” She’s right. You certainly can’t finish something you don’t start. But the real question for all of is: Should
I was thinking about the election. (How can anyone in the US avoid it?) I read Seth’s piece, Politics!, and thought that nightly debates might be a great way to discover who the smartest people are. Maybe. But a lot closer than the sound bites we get now. Since we’re not going to have nightly
When we arrived in Minneapolis, I tried to find an elevator down to baggage claim. (Yes, my knee is not working well enough to take an escalator.) I did find one, but it said “employees only.” Many people who travel are employees. They are just not your employees. No, I didn’t use the elevator–although I
Mark and I visited his family in the Midwest. We used miles to pay for my ticket. Aside from spending 50,000 miles (is it possible to get a ticket for 25,000 miles? We haven’t in years), it cost $5 for the ticket, $75 for the “services fees” and $15 to check one bag. Yes, this
