In real estate, what matters is ‘location, location, & location’. In product management, it’s ‘details, details, & details’.

I don’t usually get this excited by any single article. You must read “subcompact publishing” by Craig Mod. It’s about way more than publishing. Personally, I love to read. Love to stay on top of things. At the same time, I’m growing increasingly frustrated at sucky journalism. Looks like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and I’m going to do what I can to support it. Just read the article.
Software AG (the company I’m currently working for) has just re-launched/re-branded our blog. It’s called Reality Check. As you might imagine from an opinionated loud-mouth (fast-typer?) like me, I’m blogging to help get this effort off the ground. In fact, I’m proud to see that my two posts have so far been the most popular! You all might recognize one of the pieces, a piece on the opportunity in the enterprise integration space, as previously published here. There’s a second piece on Mobile First Integration that you should definitely check out too. As a general rule, I’ll be posting Software AG related topics on Reality Check first and then copying them here when I can. I want a copy here so I can keep a…
So, I got an email that someone favorited one of my tweets from yesterday’s SOA Innovation webinar. Out of habit, I checked him out.

One copy/paste later, I was looking at his LinkedIn profile. He’s been at a competitor for 12 years. Hmmm. I sent him a connect, and wrote the following: “I looked at your favorites on Twitter, and either you’re stalking Software AG… or interviewing with us. Nice to meet you, and glad you liked my tweet.” Update: Turns out he’s already joined us, but hasn’t updated…
Anyone who knows me knows that I abhor shared workspaces. In fact, I’ve quit two jobs after being moved to a shared space. It’s not productive or conducive to me doing good work (let alone the best work I’m able to do). Just finished delivering a webinar. Went great. Someone commented that the audio was going in-and-out. I expressed my sympathy and explained that we had worked very hard to make sure everyone speaking was on a landline and off speaker/headset. She responded something like “I have very bad headphones and my neighbors are being noisy.” Chalk another one up for “shared space” working, right? Then it occurred to me why she was having a problem, and the solution is simple.
