It's summer. I travel a bit more for work and take vacation. Both of which means there's more time to be found for reading. I spent a bunch of time sitting in a tent below the north face of Mount Tiedeman waiting for things to cool down ...

In short I’m working on it. This year’s conference was much lower key than last year but there were still some great takeaways. What hampered me as the the utter lack of decent network coverage. I’ve been to small mountain towns in Peru that did better than the Hyatt in ...

So I'm on vacation but the blog posts will keep on trundling along. This leaves the somewhat strange possibility that I died in a horrible auto wreck with a moose on the Trans-Canada Highway (not to be confused with the Trans-Canadian Water Slide). But to all intents I'm still alive ...

Waiting to get on a plane from Quebec City back to Seattle... The p&p Summit was great. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and finding out what they did and didn't like and wanted to see p&p do next. The biggest theme was (again) around complexity. This was somewhat summed up ...

Tonight I went to Guy Awford's restaurant, Inside in Greenwich. I've known Guy a long time, since we were very, very young. So when I'm in the UK, which isn't often, I feel I should drop in and check out the latest menu. Guy's been making a go of Inside ...

I got a Nintendo DS Lite for my birthday last week. The best thing about this is that it'll effectively allow me to teleport to London this afternoon. Get on plane, start playing Zelda... skip the next 9 hours... stop playing Zelda, get off plane. It's the closest thing ...

Looks like I'll be speaking at the patterns & practices Summit in Quebec this May. This will be my second p&p summit and I've never been to Quebec so I'm pretty excited about it. What will I talk about? Well... now that's an interesting question, not quite sure yet but ...
