The follow up to Mary Poppendieck's Lean Software Development is available online as a review copy. The original book led to a lot of changes in the agile software community. I find myself giving the book to both developers and managers. In my opinion, it is still the must read book about the software development process. Plus, it is good to see ex-3M employees make a mark in the world. Each chapter is a seperate .pdf file... I like to print them out double sided and make one big binder.
Senator Kerry calls this a "tragic milestone," and the most catastrophic of the administration's mistakes made so far. Regardless of his mistakenly voting for the war at the time, he's right. For him to turn against the Iraq war is a flip-flop I would be happy with. Hopefully he has an exit strategy, even though he's not telling us about it at the moment.
This is why Bush must be defeated in November. I realize the economy is an important issue, but compared to 1000++ dead soldiers? Come on. Not to mention 7,000++ wounded, and the 11,000++ estimated by the Iraq Body Count . This is a slam dunk, as George Tenet would say.
Prediction: if Bush is [re]elected, the U.S. will engage in pre-emptive war against Iran and/or North Korea. Is that really what we want?
