Despite the day off, I wanted to let you all know that I was still thinking of you! :-)

* Micro Blogging via Twitter.com. If you set up an account, let me know! http://twitter.com/pedstrom TIME talks about the new technology here: http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1603637,00.html

* I recently ran across an Intro to Agile article, but thought I’d link to the official principals at http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html. These may look familiar to some as they are based on the Agile Manifesto which I distributed to the team a year ago or so, commenting on how I felt it described in part the perspective differences between Renewal and corporate IT. If you want a more comprehensive discussion on Agile, check out the wikipedia entry @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development

* See downtime for some of the most popular web sites on the internet: http://royal.pingdom.com/?p=116 For those interested, “Five 9′s” (99.999% uptime) is equal to downtime less than 5 minutes, 15 seconds per year.

* Yankee Group Report: open source email systems are the biggest threat to Microsoft Outlook/Exchange http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=343

* Quote: “If a major project is truly innovative, you cannot possibly know its exact cost and its exact schedule at the beginning. And if in fact you do know the exact cost and the exact schedule, chances are that the technology is obsolete.” – Joseph G. Gavin, Jr., discussing the design of the lunar module that landed NASA astronauts on the moon.
