Architect OPML

I finally updated my Architecture Strategy and Evangelist Blogs OPML file . For single updates, DasBlog's web interface is fine, but for doing a slew of updates it blows. I guess that's why my blogrolls are so out of date. What I really want is an InfoPath

Lookout and Cω

Cool thing about blogs - sometimes I learn about stuff happening inside the big house from outside in blogs. Case in point - Scott pointed out to the Lookout download . I also found out about the COmega site from Don (though honestly, I knew about that

Flightmares

All it takes is one bad trip to remind me why I took a job that only requires a handful of trips a year. Pat mentioned that this is the week of our big annual internal training event in Atlanta. We had a two day pre-training event for all our field architects.
