Some quick updates


I know I’ve been remiss in my blog posting duties. Please trust me when I say it’s for good reason and that you’d understand.

I appreciate you sticking with me. In the meantime, here are a few tidbits that you might find worth noting:

Announcing: Zen

Nate Kohari (whom I’d like to call a friend, though I’m not sure he feels the same way, lol) has just announced the coming-out party of a skunk-works project he and his wife Nicole  have been cooking up for quite some time now. It’s a lightweight (but powerful) lean project management system using Kanban. Nate can describe it better, so I’ll let you hear it straight from him:

Side note: I’m taking votes for who has more attractive eyewear Nate or Nicole.

Site note: His “streaking on campus” days are over, to be clear, there will be no streaking at the VAN)
