Danese Cooper is telling a hilarious story from BlogOn 2004. Worth checking out, I promise!
PS. I am using FireFox :)
To me, it seems like Chris Matts just might be available if you have a need for his expertise and an exciting proposition to make...
I just watched The Pentagon Wars from TV. It's a satire about a multi-billion dollar project of the Pentagon for developing the Bradley armored personnel carrier.
Needless to say, everything was going south faster than you could imagine but everyone was repeating "everything's proceeding as planned" like a mantra as you'd expect. Unfortunately, I was reminded of our very own software industry. It is a common joke these days how certain giant consultancies work, thinking about promotions and promotions only... Obviously, that is not true. Right?

My review of Mike Cohn's latest, User Stories Applied has been published at JavaRanch. |
I just watched the first set of a tennis match between Lindsay Davenport and Venus Williams on EuroSport. I never watch sports other than ice hockey and sometimes football (that is, soccer for you Americans). What made me stop channel surfing was that I noticed Venus Williams leading the set 5-0 (6-0 would mean winning the set) which was rather unusual (I think) considering that Lindsay Davenport is a world-class player as well.
Anyway, the first set ended... (drum roll, please) ...5-7 for Davenport. Yes, you read correctly. She somehow turned the boat and won 7 serves in a row (after first losing 5). Impressive, I say. Very impressive. It must've felt like a mission impossible. Or then she's just not thinking about that kind of things.
We'll see whether I can keep up my interest to last a second set :)
Ok. The second set lasted for two serves (won by Davenport). Venus gave up because of problems with her wrist. Apparently the wrist had a lot to do with her losing 9 serves in a row. Too bad.
