What I am reading...

I am reading the following at this time:

(1) The Uplift Saga (3 books) by David Brin. This is pure sci fi fantasy, but really enjoyable.

(2) Several SharePoint books.

(3) about to start on a book about BizTalk 2009...

What's going on....

It has been a while since I posted... This is just a quick "what's going on" update...

(1) Pricing Leadership Blog.

I am doing some light blogging over at http://www.pricingleadership.com. This is meant to be a blog about topics related to Pricing and I will be writing about technology topics.

(2) Keeping busy at work.

My team is working on several technology areas, from SharePoint MOSS 2007 to Blackberry to Salesforce.com, to name a few. I am drinking from the fire hose lately.

(3) Resting a bit.

My wife and I bought a house out at Lake Conroe, and we have been spending some weekends out there.


There is some really interesting stuff going on and I will write some posts soon. I have been getting a lot of experience with off-shoring, or really near-shoring, as some of our new development areas are being built working with a partner. There are some good lessons in this area I can share, especially around Agile and remote teams.

If you are interested in any of these topics, post a comment and let me know and I will target some future posts.

I hope things are going well for you in this economy. It is tough right now.
