For science&#8230; you monster or Do you know the biggest lesson I learned from what you did? We&#8217;re a lot alike, you and I. You tested me, I tested [...]]]></description>

		<title>Startups and Agile Teams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have spent a long time working in software startups of various stripes, and I have also spent a long time working with Agile teams delivering software of various stripes. It is  difficult to sufficiently emphasize how similar those two models are.    Think about it: Startup Agile What&#8217;s the simplest thing that could possibly [...]]]></description>

Attempts to oversimplify Reveal their odd propensity To speak of spheroid cattle Which are uniform in density— Their perfect planes are frictionless; Collisions are elastic; They’re rarely seen acknowledging The random or stochastic.

		<title>Big Ball of Mud is the &#8220;most popular&#8221; software architecture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read this, and I am somewhat idignant: Big Ball of Mud still seems to be the most popular way to design and architect software. Just because something is &#8216;common&#8217; doesn&#8217;t make it popular.   Your standard everyday cold is pretty common, but it is not popular.   Traffic jams are common, but I doubt [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farewell, Bloglines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using Bloglines for a long time, since  2004 if I&#8217;m not mistaken.  It&#8217;s been a constant and welcome part of my online experience. Alas, apparently, they could not find a way to make money off of it. Which is unfortunate, because I always thought that it would have been a fabulous corporate knowledge-sharing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Issues &amp; Concerns w/Google Web Toolkit 2.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re considering using GWT to do web development, here are some of the issues we&#8217;ve encountered &#8211; sufficiently difficult and frustrating that the organization has decided to abandon GWT and return back to Spring MVC as the web tier.

		<title>JavaScript Native Interface &amp; History Repeating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve only recently started to look at the Google Web Toolkit.   I haven&#8217;t gotten far enough into the implementation and usage of it to make a firm decision, but I do like the philosophical concepts (which I will get into later).  Yeah, I&#8217;m probably late to the game on GWT, but I was early [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using Hadoop for Data Mining</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote a whitepaper on Hadoop, and how you can use it to perform Business Intelligence on data that&#8217;s too expensive to analyze using existing solutions, either because the data is too messy, too voluminous, or both. There are other uses for Hadoop, but I think this is one of the most strategic. Let me [...]]]></description>
