My Nucleus is Here

My Nucleus is finally here.

After many years of design and many months of coding, we are on the eve of a soft launch where a select group of people will be invited to share their opinions on the system as well as suggest improvements to be made before going public.

We are spending the day today inspecting the machine to make sure it is well oiled before allowing it to flex its muscles tomorrow. Over the last couple of weeks we've been releasing new editions of all components at a rate of 1 version per day. That seems to have slowed down and so has the rate of finding bugs.

Starting next week as we have people kicking the tires, I will sit back and provide extensive documentation of what has gone into this thing. Looking at it from today, it seems a little overwhelming but it should be an easy task. At least that is what I keep telling myself.

This is it!

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!

What are the ways of the ant?

Off to the anthill.

Leading in Service to Others

You gotta do it with heart!

You have succeeded if your absence is as good as your presence; things just get done.

You see Joshua's who see a Moses in you.

Love Leadership or just don't be greedy

I shared my two cents with Mr. John Hope Bryant after reading his recently published book, Love Leadership. This is a great read for anyone. My comments were published in a blog post here http://www.johnhopebryant.com/john_hope_bryant_/2009/11/love-leadership-reader-testimonial.html

I couldn't have read this book at a better time after watching the Michael Moore's movie; Capitalism a love affair. They both point to greed as the cause of the current economic challenges.

Distributed and Scalable Non-Relational Database Systems

Fascinating read on non RDBMS distributed scalable databases.

Forecast: First freeze and flakes for Twin Cities Updraft Minnesota Public Radio

No doubt the weather is one of those things that cycle through each year. In this installment of 365 and again, I present the annual question of when is the first flake going to fall on the Minnesota soil.
