I’ve uploaded another one of my presentations, entitled “Top Ten Software Engineering Concepts.” You can access it on Google Docs by clicking here. If you’d like to download the 15.9-megabyte PDF version of the “mind-map” from which the Powerpoint presentation was created, click here.

When I saw that Google Docs had introduced a new Powerpoint-clone presentation mechanism a couple weeks ago, I decided that it would be a good way to share the Web 2.0 presentation that I’ve been posting as a massive “mind-map” for the past year or so … indeed, not just share it, but also [...]

A couple days ago, I noticed a posting on John Battelle’s SearchBlog blog that Google Apps now has a Powerpoint-clone presentation package; and since many of my conference and seminar presentations have been created with Powerpoint over the years, I decided to take a look…

On September 19th, I had the opportunity to give a one-hour presentation on Web 2.0 technologies and trends to the SPIN chapter in Atlanta, Georgia; you can get the details of what I presented by clicking here to see the September 18th blog posting about the most recent version of my Web 2.0 mind-map.

I’m still mulling over the significance of yesterday’s announcement of new iPods, though I notice much of the discussion has shifted to debates about the timing and significance of Apple’s $200 price reduction on the iPhone. Meanwhile, though, most of the reactions to the new iPods have been fairly positive, and at least one blogger [...]

Okay, so Steve Jobs has given us four new iPods, with several variations on color, storage capacity, and other features. The media apparently thought it was a big deal, with cheers and applause throughout the Jobs presentation — but to me, it seemed like very little innovation, and a great deal of incrementalism.
For example, the [...]

Back in May, I participated in a panel session at an ICSE conference in Minneapolis — before the bridge fell down, and before its airport men’s room became so notorious — in which we celebrated the 20th anniversary publication of Peopleware, by Tom DeMarco and Tim Lister. My report on that panel session can be [...]

Well, Labor Day has come and gone. And while the autumn season doesn’t officially begin (in the northern hemisphere) until September 21st or thereabouts, everyone is back from summer vacation, the kids are starting a new school year, the temperature has dropped a few degrees, and it’s time for new beginnings.
I’ve been offline for most [...]
