This goes out to those who run their blog software with a template that stretches the text to 100% of the browser window.

Please, please consider the reader and change the layout to keep the columns within a reasonable width. I mean, while I like reading certain blogs, I just can't read them from the blog site directly. My eyes literally start hurting after the second paragraph of scanning over 1600 pixels back and forth again and again.

Yes, I could resize my browser window, I could read it through a blog aggregator of my choice, and so forth. That's not the point. The point is that of having a sensible default. I'm pretty darn sure most people prefer reading this kind of a layout rather than this.

(No offense, Len. I like your writing--just not that default layout)

"Scrum's self-organising team gives individual members an empowered status with the freedom to be creative, the authority to decide the right thing to do and how to do it, and the facilities to learn and adapt to attain improvement. In return, each team member must have the courage to participate proactively in the scrum team, and to be openly expressive and creative. If they don't they will not be doing their best and the team will not advance."

If Scrum was a silver bullet (which it is not, mind you), you'd still need someone to hold the gun and pull the trigger. That someone is you.
