One of the hottest topics in the online world in the last couple of years has been the growth of social networking services such as Facebook and MySpace , as well as the addition of a social element to existing user experiences.

SoCal CTO
JANUARY 6, 2008
I've never been able to walk into a large group of people and feel like I can "work the room." Sure, I've read various articles on this stuff, but honestly, I still struggle with meeting interesting people. I seem to be very adept at meeting financial planners, attorneys, accountants, etc. - and after 10 seconds of conversation, I'm at a loss. I can make small talk with them, but unless I'm going to see this person a few times or unless they have a tech specialization, ummm, not the best use of

The Programmer's Paradox
JANUARY 6, 2008
Some of our most fundamental programming concepts are steeped in confusion. Because software development is such a young discipline, we often question and redefine many of the basic definitions to suit our personal understandings. While this is a problem, it is also to be expected. Terms and definitions are the building blocks on which we build all of the higher concepts, if these are weak or incorrect they can lead us in circles long before we realize it is too late.
The Agile Manager
JANUARY 28, 2008
We tend to consider an IT project successful if it is delivered “on time and on budget.” From an IT governance perspective, however, this doesn’t tell us all that much. At best it is an indicator of basic operational competence, that fundamental project controls are working. At worst it’s a false positive, indicating nothing more than the team was particularly lucky that all assumptions held true, or that their contingency was sufficiently large to absorb the impact of those assumptions that did

SoCal CTO
JANUARY 18, 2008
Last Saturday, I was a panelist at the CalTech - Social Networks event. It was a really good event with lots of interesting folks in attendance. I would guess that there was about 100 people - on a Saturday in Pasadena. That shows some interest in the topic. The presenters had some interesting things to say on a wide variety of topics. A post by Elrend Wilhelmsen discusses some of what was discussed.

The Programmer's Paradox
JANUARY 22, 2008
Over the years I've worked in many development sites, read tonnes of code and heard way too many horror stories about development projects gone bad. While software development is inherently risky, many of the problems I have witnessed were self-inflicted, thus fixable. It is an odd historically-driven aspect of programming, our need to make the work more difficult than necessary.

It's the first work day of the new year and I thought I'd take some time to offer up my predictions for what will happen on the leading edge of the Internet this year. 2007 saw Web 2.0 -- defined here as the pervasive two-way Web used for social media , mashups , user-powered Web applications , and social networking -- go far more mainstream than it had in 2006.
