Today?

Today was a busy day. Work in the morning, and some homework schprinkled in – writing requirements and evaluating risks for a “Theater Missile System” software acquisition program that looks a lot like the ATACMS. (Reader’s Digest version of software acquisition? It’s hard. It will take longer than you thought it would, and cost a great deal more. Testing is important. And so on.)

Took a really cool brief from the CEO of a Silicon Valley company called “Acuitis,” a seven-year’s survivor start up that’s got some really cool AI-assisted tutoring technology on offer. Has Great Potential.

And after that? Well, we played golf. There’s an aviation O-6 Commander’s convention in town – yesterday the highlight speaker was Thomas P. Barnett, and his pitch is a subject I intend to spend some time on here once I gain access to my notes – and this afternoon’s team building session was conducted on the playing fields of Admiral Baker.

So as for your purposeful blogging, regrets but I have none.

    Lex:

    Looking forward to your posting re. Barnett. Curious to see if his pitch was similar to the one he gave to a strategy forum a little while back at CNA…

    Jeez, I just endured an hour and a half of Barnett’s relentless self-promotion tour, courtesy of my doting four-star boss. Some valid points, some good ideas, and a whole lot of hope masquerading as a plan.

    Go to it, Lex.

    Well, in my book, Mil-Pron is ALWAYS purposeful blogging. I don’t think even Playboy has had a spread with such beautiful quadruplets. *GRIN*

    Most importantly, did you play to your handicap?

    Actually, even better! Of course, it was a four-man scramble, so…

    If you need a good back channel expert on software development, I know of one. He’s the guy who helped me make the software guys here wince the second time when I asked if they knew what ITIL was. (The first time is when I ask them what HCI requirements they have, and what expertise was used to define how the information is displayed.)
