Agile Brazil is coming!

I am very happy to announce that I will be speaking at this year's Agile Brazil conference in Rio de Janeiro on June 27th. The title of my talk is "Agile Analysis, Not Fragile Analysis". You can find the complete agenda for the conference here.


I am very excited to speak alongside my colleague Jason Yip, and to meet lots of new Brazilian agilists. Who knows....maybe we will manage to arrange the first local Mingle User Group in Rio de Janeiro. :)

I'm very proud of my friend and colleague Paulo Caroli for all of his hard work in helping to organize the conference, but that's no surprise from a guy who puts quality into everything he does. Well done Paulo!

Largest Seder Ever

Last weekend, we attended the largest Seder ever. Actually, we have done Aunt Suzie's Seder three years in a row now, and each year it gets bigger and bigger. This year it could not fit in anyone's house and needed to be held off-site. Here's a great pic of Chris, Jen and I before the event kicked into full gear.
