The Agile Manifesto

Sat, 16 Jan 2016 18:17:19 -0500

I just signed the agile manifesto, I believe for the first time. This stuff makes a lot of sense. Here’s the statement I included with my signature:

I have been using agile principles for over a decade. But I’m still learning how to incorporate these ideals; new tools, tricks, and techniques; and most importantly, convincing others I work with to adopt them as well. A never-ending process of continuous improvement, or something.

Danny Schechter Was Our News Dissector | The Nation

Danny Schechter Was Our News Dissector | The Nation:

Danny Schechter was amazing, the most dedicated, committed journalist and crusader I ever met! I first encountered Danny at Free Press’s National Conference for Media Reform almost ten years ago, presenting the documentary “In Debt We Trust” - in which he predicted much of what tanked the economy just a year later…and is really still wrong with it.

I’ve followed his work ever since - always inspired and insightful, a little too real for the mainstream, but still influential in its way. R.I.P. Danny; the world will miss your watchful eye!

“If Fire In The Kitchen came in at the tail end of new wave, they’d be as popular as, oh, say the Rumour. If they held their breath for five years, they’d be twice as big…Oh, almost forgot, Television, MX-80 Sound, Slovenly, Hate Dogs (I hope this looks nice in a press kit).”

CONFLICT 51 Fall 1990 (page 22) FITK review by Gerard Cosloy, Editor

Seems there are a lot bands named Fire In The Kitchen in the world. This one was a great NYC fixture in the late 80’s and early 90’s, fronted by Bob Bannister and drummer Robert Dennis, who still play together in Escape By Ostrich and the Scene Is Now.

We’ll take this opportunity to give a shout out to EMBER SCHRAG, who Bob Bannister has been accompanying during the past year. Her goner strum is one of the highlights of NYC right now. I think Bob would agree. http://www.emberschrag.com/

Wow: Nastygram from the Brown campaign

Wow: Nastygram from the Brown campaign:

lessig:

I received this nastygram (PDF) by email today from Scott Brown’s campaign manager — cc-ing my boss, the provost and president.

I take it Mr. Reed’s outrage is triggered by the Senate’s regulations of what constitutes being a “lobbyist” for purposes of the Senate rules. I hadn’t received…

Check out this letter, and all of the resulting spin and counter-spin. If this gets significant news coverage, it won’t do the Brown campaign any favors.
