"Fortunately, we can learn from other fields. Filmmakers operate in a similarly agile fashion, filming scenes in an order dictated purely by logistics. To ensure vision, coherence, and narrative continuity they employ specialists: directors and script supervisors. On the web, designers can play a similar role, but must volunteer and adapt it for themselves. This means getting involved in writing user stories and trying to guide product owners away from over-hasty solutions."

To be Karl Rove's IT guru seems to have meant basically setting it up so that votes could be electronically shaved to the disadvantage of the Democrats and the advantage of Republicans."

"About once a year I dabble with trying to setup a video streaming server so I can watch movies on my Mac which doesn’t have a DVD reader on it. Usually this all falls apart because the debug loop is the scale of a DVD, the free tools are all full of personality, and the world of video encoding is quite confusing. This time I think I got it. So here some tricks I picked up along the way."

"A logic question. Which financial professionals would be more likely to be audited: bad ones or good ones? Logically, I would say good ones – if you’re bad, you want to hide it – if you’re good, you want to prove it.
