afternoon

  1. 60 Minutes with NServiceBus and Udi Dahan. bit.ly/Klk9tN
  2. @simplybastow @ProdPad Looks cool (esp. roadmap tools), not sure I could justify the cost internally though.
  3. ING are one of the most internet-savvy banks. To open a new savings account, I had to post them a cheque. Retail banking sucks.
