As I just posted at elemental links, I've been remiss in my blogging.  Short story, lots of deadline and travel.  Little focus for additional writing.  But, I'm working on correcting that.  Oh, and just to make it more challenging, I am also blogging at SOA Consortium Insights, as part of my SOA-C Program Director gig.

As for this blog, I've changed how I'm publishing my del.icio.us links.  Instead of posting the links to the site, they are now spliced directly into the feed.  If you subscribe to the feed, nothing changes.  If you browse online, you can see my shared links directly on del.icio.us/bmichelson.  Going forward, all you'll see here is actual posts.  Let's hope my new writing plan works! 

With luck, I'll have posts this week from BPM Think Tank.  I'll be representing the SOA Consortium and spreading the word on the complementary nature of SOA and BPM.  And yes, keeping to form, I'll add EDA into the mix.

Besides the strong program, I'm looking forward to BPM Think Tank because I'll finally get to interact with Sandy Kemsley in person.  I'm signed up for her roundtable on BPM and mashups.  I intend to pick her brain over dinner on connecting the dots of SOA, BPM and the "2.0s". 

Next trip for me is Agile2007.  I'm still pursuing the SOA and Agile connection.  My contacts from Rally Software recommend Dean Leffingwell's Scaling Software Agility for insights on Agile and "architecture".  I just started it, so no report yet.  I welcome other reading and contact suggestions on SOA and Agile.  I have seen the recent InfoQ series.

Oh, for Boston area readers who have enjoyed the guest post and excerpts from Annie Shum, she'll be sharing her latest thoughts on IT, business and society at the August New England BEA User Group meeting.  I'm definitely heading down to Boston for that.
