Christian Sepulveda on "What qualifies as an agile process?"

I feel these guidelines offer a different perspective than the elements of the manifesto. For example, communication and collaboration are desirable because they promote discovery and provide feedback. As I consider the experiences I would characterize as "agile", I am better able to articulate their "agility" in terms of these guidelines.

Martin Fowler on application boundaries

I don't think applications are going away for the same reasons why application boundaries are so hard to draw. Essentially applications are social constructions.

Michael Hamman has comments on my earlier post about "the reader in the code". His description of how musicians make commentaries on musical scores is fascinating. I want to see it sometime, mine it for ideas.

Michael also elaborates on his earlier post on breakdowns. I'll have to ponder that for a while.

Finally, amidst today's posturing and self-righteous certainty - the conversion of real events into mere fodder for argument - a reminder of reflexive unity of people in the moment.
