so i went riding without the dogs yesterday because it was raining real hard overnight and throughout the morning and then it switched to a drizzle which meant wet muddy trails and slippery conditions. i did my normal hill climb and ridge run loop. as i was coming up to the top of one ridge that now that leaves have fallen gave me a clear view of the switchback trail below and the swamp and ridge on other side of the valley. i stopped (which is where i took this shot) when i saw some movement which turned out to be a string of deer, three that i could clearly see walking along the far edge of the swamp below the ridge line. i’d be on that switchback below in a few minutes and was wondering if i’d catch up to them on the other side of the swamp but then i saw a large dog on the switchback immediately followed by two hikers. i headed off down the trail and by the time i passed the hikers and their dog the deers were long gone probably crested the other ridge and down into the other valley. there is a trail over in that valley but its the most technical trail in the park and not very fun when its wet and slippery since its hard enough when its dry. so a deer photo will have to wait for another day, i see them all the time this time of year…

personal soa - where you post is irrelevantJuly 13

service oriented architecture is considered a loose coupling of services that allow for diversified backends to be joined via a web service integration into a unified frontend - this in the past was primarily considered the domain of business practitioners - i am over simplifying it of course so apologies to all my fellow techies out there - with the advent of presence aggregation environments such as friendfeed and swurl, that allow any individual or group to integrate a large number of sites and services into a unifying frontend, the advent of a robust personal soa capability has arrived - yes, this sort of frontend aggregation via rss has been around via rss readers and other sites for awhile (igoogle & my yahoo for example) but the simplicity, mass integration of diverse services and then the additional enhancement of community engagement functionality in the current environments is why i think they are so much more compelling than their predecessors - this is why i’ve started to think of this paradigm shift as a personal

of wordpress, twitter & friendfeed…July 5

i use this wordpress blog to post about personal stuff as opposed to my typepad blog which i use for my emerging media, technology & career related stuff - i also have been sending all my tweets in digest format via the great alex king’s twitter tools plug-in to this blog as a lightweight way of archiving my tweets since my confidence in the architecture of twitter is minimal but since i’m now doing most of my microblogging via friendfeed and i’m sending those to twitter via twitterfeed and this blog’s posts are sent into friendfeed its creating an echo effect loop which is annoying…

so i’m going to turn off the twitter tools plugin - if for some reason you were subscribed to this blog for my microblogging, pls just go subscribe to me on friendfeed (or swurl which seems to do a good job of presence aggregation as well)…

i’ve also been remiss in posting a few interviews (
