I've been lucky lately to work with CEO's that truly care about their people, and believe in agile and transparency. Confidence restored.

Great day in Sarasota today. Good to be back home with the family. More excellent work ahead tomorrow. Have a great night everyone.

Looking forward to an awesome day in Sarasota tomorrow. 2.5 hour drive demands I go to bed. Good night all.

If there is anything I've learned from retrofitting tests into my code it's that writing tests isn't that hard. So, why not do it first?

Just heard beer used as a negotiating tool in sprint planning. agile scrum

Firefox has become a huge memory hog. Aside from Safari (which I'm back to), any browser recommendations for the Mac?

Heading to day 2 of izeafest. See you there.

In the hotel in Oxen Hill, MD. A bit sketchy, but I think I'll be okay. I won't be in here much anyhow. The Gaylord looks awesome.

A lot more sites are using microformats than I thought. @tripit is on the list.

Looking at mongodb while waiting for the WOW patch to download and install.

Family time for the rest of the weekend. Everyone have a great weekend.

When making decisions, it is good to have honest numbers in front of you.

If you stop at scrum, then you haven't gone nearly far enough. agile

Today's lesson: reuse isn't just for code.

Added microformats to the ADS site. Use the Operator plugin in FF to see: http://ping.fm/P4Qcb

And with some consternation I go to bed. I'll continue my world changing in the AM. Good night all.

Family time is the best time.

Excellent. My new headphones arrived. Now I can rock out.

Neither the online payment system or the phone payment system for BrightHouse is working. Waiting 5 minutes for help. brighthousefail

Crashing early for the first time in a long time. Looking forward to an uber productive day tomorrow. Adios all.

Another work day comes to a close. Looking forward to exploring some opportunities that popped up today. Exciting times.

I'm thinking that a demo day at @acts_as_conf 2010 would be awesome. What do you think?

I am sure that the entire @nfistudios crew is happy that I am getting my headphones today.

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Another great, long day comes to an end. See you all in the AM.

What's more interesting to me than the companies presenting at the TechCrunch50 are the TC50 Backstage interviews. I recommend them all.

Writing a post about the future of web applications. The future is bright.

Making a run for the first Red Bull I've had in about a week. That is a new record for me.

Downtown getting things ready for another fantastic week.

I find it odd that Facebook just suggested that I become a friend, of myself. Frankly, I thought I like me just fine. I guess not.

Aside from TextMate, any recommendations for an IDE to write tons of javascript? Looking for something on the Mac. Thx!

I enjoyed a great day with the family and am looking forward to catching up with my fellow MBA's tomorrow.

Looking forward to two full days with my family.

I don't know if this comment is making fun of me or the other comments: http://bit.ly/1LsnN. Either way it's funny.

Another solid week comes to an end. Have a great weekend everyone. See you on the other side.

My wife just arrived @nfistudios with two trays of Thai food. Lunch promises to be excellent.

Today @nfistudios we're celebrating @definingryan's impending move to become a hobo. He's going to Thailand and I am jealous.

Installing Flash Builder 4 Beta and then heading to bed. A great night to all.

I'm looking forward to Flex + Rails at tonight's joint ORUG/ADOGO meeting. You should go too. Really, you should.

Enjoying my wife's awesome Thai cooking. She's available for lessons and personal chef-ing. Ping me if you want deets.

Downtown ready to rock out another awesome day. Looking forward to ORUG tonight - Rails and Flex. Awesome.

Now that the President's address is over, it's back to learning about CouchDB.

"We did not come here to fear the future, we came here to shape it." Pure awesome.

Options and competition are good for the consumer. We need more of it in healthcare.

So far I really like what President Obama is saying about healthcare. It is much needed change.

Has anyone seen any recent benchmarks for Phusion Passenger? If so please ping me with a link. Thanks.

First in @nfistudios. The coffee is brewing, email and RSS is being checked, and sites are being updated. So far it's a great day.

A great ending to a great day. See you all tomorrow. Big announcements coming soon. No, we're not moving, yet. It's something else :)

Completing a report for a client. Once again, the argument for cloud computing, namely AWS, is too compelling to ignore. IT depts take note.

What a fantastic day. Time to head home and enjoy some wonderful Thai for dinner. Then a bit more work before bed.

Good morning everyone.

With the little one in bed it's time to continue my self-education on CouchDB.

Hong Kong Fixed Gear: YikeBike - pre launch party http://bit.ly/jOKHp I want one...

Happy Labor Day everyone.

Got CouchDB installed on Ubuntu 9.04, but no go on my Mac. Time to go command-line style.

It's happening. Technology is becoming completely ingrained in our culture and everything we do. Just watch TV. You can't hide any more.

Installing Ubuntu 9.04 Server in VMware Fusion on Snow Leopard is extremely fast and installs VMware tools for me. Pure awesome.

Just minutes away from a long weekend. Looking forward to doing a whole lotta nothing, nothing but fun with the family.

What do you recommend for mind mapping software? I'd like to be able to connect multiple main ideas and their branches. Thanky.

Time to make my crystal bar peer into the future.

And now that it's working, it's time for a refactor. Personally, I love removing code more than writing it.

I'm going to tempt fate and the wrath of the digerati and use Bing as my default search engine in Firefox for a bit.

Got an uber early start to today. Looking forward to crushing it once again. What are your plans?

Just bought my ticket for http://lessconf.com. See you there in October.

The Sprint Retrospective is one of my favorite times.

Ready to rock out another day with a full agenda. What are you looking to accomplish this day?

Upgrade to Snow Leopard complete. So far so good. I have a backup just in case though :)

Heading home after a great day @nfistudios.com. Much progress has been made. Time to work on other work now.

Sprint planning time was cut in half (since the sprint time was cut in half). Looking good for another solid week. Retrospective is next.

This week is already in full swing @nfistudios. It will be an exciting one that I'm looking forward to.

Graduation day! I'm outy.

Time to go pick up the nugget. Everyone have a great weekend!

While I'm getting advice, any recommendation for an OS charting plugin for Rails? I need line graphs. Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone for the advice on handling clients. Tomorrow will be a fun day. Luckily I don't have to have all the answers.

What do you do when the customer thinks they are right and you know for a fact they aren't? What do you suggest?

Heading home to meet with @blaix. Takeover plans continue. Perhaps over some Chipotle. Getting hungry.

Congrats to @bobwalsh on his new book: "The Web Startup Success Guide": http://ping.fm/ePAY2 I definitely recommend it.

Just upgraded to Evernote premium. Well worth the $45/yr.

After staring at a computer screen for a number of hours, reality can seem kind of strange.

@nfistudios for another great day. Traffic at 6:30 AM was heavier than expected. How is your daily commute?

Had a great time filming @rockthejob. These next episodes will be awesome. Time to up the ante. A good night to all.

On location at the @done21 studios with @nickrp and @jimrhoskins.

Heading home and then to meet up with @nickrp to film @rockthejob. And somewhere in there a Red Bull will come into play.

Any suggestions for a virtual assistant service? Someone recommended Sunday. Anyone else use it? Thanks.

Charts are great. I love charts. Do you love charts? I love data too. Lot's of data.

Back in Orlando after internetsummit. Great speakers, great content. Well worth the trip.

Getting ready to head to Tampa and the internetsummit. I haven't been up this early since I used to stay up this late.

I have to wake up at 5 AM to be in Tampa by 7 AM. Time to go to bed. Have a great night everyone!

Thanks to everyone for their advice on headphones. I'll do my research and let you know what I purchase.
