Long time no blog.  Been doing quite a bit of reading, design and coding as of late.  I have been reading so many great books I decided that I should perhaps share a few of the books I have gone through.

Started a new category and this is the start of my reading list.

First Up:

Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency by Tom Demarco

Key learning: Slack provides an organization the capacity to change. Many companies that have focused on efficiency by eliminating all slack have also eliminated their ability to respond to changing markets, etc.

Good airplane read.  Easy to finish between Seattle and New York.  Kind of diverges towards the end into Risk Management but the first 20 or so chapters are great.  Overall only 220 pages and an interesting read.
