Thanks, Reg, and kudos to you for soliciting user feedback and responding to it. How very agile of you!

Edistorm: online stickies with dot voting! Whee!
By Hillary Johnson I'm just starting to play around with a really cool, freshly launched product called Edistorm, an online app that features draggable stickies and dot voting. It's a bit strangely positioned, as a consumer not a business product--the example in the tutorial is about cake baking...

#25 pandemics
Maybe it was SARS for some or Bird Flu for others. Whatever pandemic it is, journalists always remember their first one. Journalists like to cover pandemics because there is a chance they are covering the end of the world, and Armageddon is the ultimate story any journalist can ask for. Pande...

This applies to agile, and pretty much the rest of everything.
Commented Mar 2, 2009 on The Complex Manifesto for Software Development at Agile Management | NOOP.NL
The Complex Manifesto for Software Development
The world is more complex than people like it to be. I regularly see blog posts of software experts providing us with values, principles, guidelines and practices to live our lives by. And all of them are good, and all of them are incomplete. I've seen improvements on the agile manifesto (Glen...
Yes, it's kind of hilarious that Agile 2009 wasn't on there as we've been living and breathing the submission process for the last couple of weeks. I've really only waded through adding events through June so far (and October, as that's when Agile Open CA falls and I'm on the org committee), but publishing this gives me extra incentive to finish building out the whole year.
Thanks for the Lean Kanban tip, Gerry!

The Agile Conference Calendar is now live
Last year Chris spent more time on tour than Madonna, logging appearances at no fewer than eleven software conferences. To keep track of all this activity and help us plan for 2009, I've been building out a Google calendar listing all of the upcoming software conferences nationwide (and a few be...
I like Cetaphil. It's gentle, and pleasing in its humility! I can't use it because I react to sulfates, but that's fairly rare. I am currently using MAC Cremewash, which is mild and non-drying, and about $20 (it lasts a long time). I am in the same hormone hell, and have also historically been lax with face washing--too tired at night, often, to bother!

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
I'm updating my skincare regime at the moment, after a long period of hormone-related stress, breakouts, blotchiness and general Bad Face Days. Cleanser-wise, I've never really paid a lot of attention, trying various random things not including soap, and didn't want to spend a fortune- moistur...
This reminds me of why teachers grade on a curve--it can seem unfair at first glance not to reward everyone if everyone does well, but if everyone gets an "A" then it is no longer really an "A", is it?
Commented Jan 22, 2008 on Pay for Performance Hard to Get Right at Agile Learning Labs
Pay for Performance Hard to Get Right
I found this interesting article on the Harvard Business School Working Knowledge site. It examines 13 pay-for-performance programs that various groups in HP tried and dropped. There are lessons to be learned from these experiences. What gets incented gets done, at the expense of the rest of th...
