  1. Fedora 17 is out. Time to see what's new, check release notes, etc. fedoraproject.org/get-fedora
  2. I just gave 4 stars to Lean Startup Circle Boston! meetu.ps/92bKj
  3. Regulations don't prevent problems. They give bureaucrats something to do that sounds important. Personal responsibility works better.
  4. @sethgodin makes a great point about Twitter/e-mail/Facebook/...: Until you remove the noise, you're going to miss a lot of signal.
  5. @pitch_doctor Intrapreneur: been there, done that. Lots of fun. Won a NASA New Technology Award. bit.ly/MhhbW7
  6. RT @pmvoices: Blogger: Planning matters more than the plan. ow.ly/b3agC #pmot
  7. No PM methodology will "save" a project. Methodologies are tools in our toolbox. PMs are who make projects successful. #pmot
  8. Ever look at a site and it just leaps out at you that it's a Wordpress site? One glance is all it takes?
  9. Feels like I'm losing time at a breakneck pace. --Stevie Ray Vaughan. How it seems sometimes in a startup. ;-] #entrepreneur
  10. Who needs a health club when you have a 240+ year old house with 40+ windows that need to be stripped & repainted?
  11. @rafaldyrda Same here. Too many swimlanes of activity to swim in....
  12. From @sethgodin today: Hard work on the right things -- perfect the things that matter and ignore the rest.
  13. The resistance you encounter to change is directly proportional to the size of the change. It probably grows exponentially! ;-] #pmot
  14. Do articles with titles like "Secrets of the Most Successful/Best/Smartest/... " actually tell you any "secrets?"
  15. Don't try to implement a wholesale change to an agile method. People resist big changes. Implement iteratively. Small steps. #pmot
  16. RT @newsyc50: VLC has been downloaded over 1,000,000,000 times bit.ly/IR55AO (bit.ly/IR52Fk) #trending
  17. Hackers are probing Joomla sites again. Looks like they're trying to get components to acccess www<dot>pastie<dot>org/pastes/3880191/text
  18. What I learned from #microconf: get there early and plan to stay until the next day. You can learn a ton in the evenings!
  19. What I learned from #microconf: we're all tempted to "shade" the truth. Resist. Don't do it. Be honest.
  20. What I learned from #microconf: don't say "this is what I do" but rather "This is your problem. I solve those problems."
