I’ve been in London for some meetings this week, and it’s been absolutely great. The first thing I did of course was to buy 3 packs of Fruit Gums, which I prompted devoured. Being super gummy, this of course, led to two days of jaw pain and muscle ache.
Completely worth it
The meetings went really well, one of the things that was interesting was observing the agile development process in a large corporate environment. We’re on agile at Songbird, and it’s one thing to see it work well in a small group of 30 people, but to see it in place at a company of several thousand was pretty cool.
So far I’ve had some great food (screw all you who disparage British food - I love it), an insane amount of good beer, and for the first time in ages, I got to watch a Champions League match on TV at a reasonable hour in a pub full of cheering fans. (Yay Liverpool 2-0 over Inter!)

keegen returns
espn has a great op-ed piece on the second-coming of keegan.
my favourite line…
Yes it’s a romantic appointment, yes it is an almighty gamble, yes it’s a soap opera and yes, it is very Newcastle United. But we love it.

ISRAEL ROCKS!!!!
every England fan owes Omer Golan a beer.
holy crap, can it get any more amazing than an Israel goal in stoppage time over Russia!?!?!?
…. too bad Owen is out now from the friendly with Austria.
Will McClaren finally given Jermaine Defoe the run he deserves now?

What does football have in common with OpenSolaris?
…. they both give me an excuse to go to Boston.
I’m going to Boston for Tech Days, which works out great for the September 12th Mexico vs. Brasil international friendly match that will be played while I’m there.
I’m psyched - I’ve never seen Brasil play live before
