That being said, I think Mercury Steam kind of enclosed themselves in regard to the design based on the ending of the last game. It was cool, but in practice it did not set the series up for a great game. In trying to please the fan's (ie. open world, free camera, bigger environments, deeper combat) the time was taken away for what would've given a great story. This company is not Naughty Dog, or Sony Santa Monica, and I feel that they bit off more than they could chew with out Kojima over seeing the project (even in a small amount); or even outside project testing. To their defense I feel that given the time period chosen, and the subject of the game the sneaking is appropriate; not saying it was the best choice but it did fit the story.
It seems to me that it would've been better for them to skip putting mirror of fate on 3DS and include the story into this game, and that it would've made a better argument in the long run. For what they set up at the end of Lords of Shadow, I feel they did a good job. Was it the epic story I was expecting, no. But it is good enough that it should be given a chance for each individual to decide how they feel about it.
A Huge Fail!!

entire goal is just to find a way to kill himself.....yay how fun. Spoilers end
It plays out in a typical god of war esque hack and slash mindlessly killing minions then some bad platforming which could maybe all be forgiven if not for the terrible stealth sections. My god are they bad. Poorly set up, boring, hard in a clumsy broken sort of way and take forever to get past. You frequently find yourself wondering what part of them game is supposed to be fun. I guess the boss battles if you have the fortitude to slog through the hours of tedium to get to them. Dont waste your time.
An ok game

I picked it up because the original LoS was refreshing and I enjoyed playing through. I have multiple complaints that made me quit about 33% through the game.
- For once, the music really sucks. WdaF Konami?
- Combat controls suck. I'm CONSTANTLY fighting with the controller to do what I want. I find myself attacking in one direction when I've held the analog stick towards another direction.
- Combat is complicated. Dodge this attack, guard that attack, combo the enemy to get mana but don't get hit or your combo breaks. Battles require blocking. REQUIRE. If you want to get through even the basic of minion fights - many of which are unavoidable to begin with - you need to block. If you dont, they take at least twice as long.
- For the Prince of Darkness, I'm surprised I have to depend on a mana pool for my L1 and R1 weapons. The boss battle that made me ragequit the game involves several mechanics: 1. I'm "poisoned", so damage I take brings me permanently closer to death 2. The boss has a protective shield that I need to bust through with use of a magic ability 3. That magic ability is no longer useable without mana 4. I have to land a required number of combo hits on minions the boss summons in order to REGENERATE mana 5. If I take damage while this happens, not only do I become permanently closer to death (See 1.) but my combo meter resets (RESETS) which means I start over. Ridiculously difficult boss battle.
- I played the game on the EASIEST difficulty, and still have the above complaints.
- For being Dracula, I feel EXTREMELY weak.
I love open world exploration, or even non-linear exploration with hidden bonuses. But between the frustrating difficulty and sucky combat (which is 75% of this game) it's not worth my time.
My time is precious to me; if yours is to you, skip

Free Turkmenistan, submitted by Saparmurat Niyazov/Turkmenbasi. Not everyone out there is as smart as me. Apparently this group called "Free Turkmenistan" isn't tuned in to the Saparmurat feel-good vibe and cite Turkmenistan's less than stellar human rights record as clear evidence of Sappy's brutality. Let me be the first to say that you can't make a delicious carpet and Ahalteke horse egg omelette without breaking the skulls of a few former government ministers living in exile.
Vienna, 7 August 2003. Avdy Kuliev, a former Foreign Minister of Turkmenistan who founded in exile the United Democratic Opposition of Turkmenistan, was brutally beaten near his home on the outskirts of Moscow on the afternoon of 6 August 2003 by a young man who waited for him there.
Oh, shut up your crybabies! You go on and on about Saparmurat this and political prisoners that, but you don't see Sappy not smiling do you? In the immortal worlds of the great dictator of my heart:LET ME SEE WHAT I'VE WORKED FOR IN YOUR SMILING FACES!
Grin and bear it you fruity commies!
You Will Read This Headline. Then You'll Laugh. Then You'll Realize You Were Wrong All Along.
'We're going to be in trouble!' Little Sister wailed, clutching her favorite book to her chest and sobbing. 'This isn't fun like a story anymore!' But Big Sister was not listening, she was thinking. She grabbed Little Sister's book from her and ran into town, yelling 'Help! A book made me and my sister hurt someone!'
Val Kilmer lures 6 morons into the ultimate death schvitz to prove global warming is real.
The Goons have already started their preparations, because that pitch isn't going to carpet itself!

1. The first thing to pop into my washing machine of thoughts while training for the Derby Festival's mini marathon is Olive Garden's never-ending pasta bowl. I look forward to that fateful day in April when I can run from the car to the never-ending bowl of pasta.
2. Old Louisville in the spring will be unexplainably beautiful. Although Louisville is known for the "greatest two minutes in sports", it is also home to six hours (the maximum time for the mini marathon) in one of the most picturesque historic neighborhoods in the country.
3. Beyonce's "Run the World (Girls)" streaming through my headphones. My thoughts go from "Ouch, my legs!" to "I can do this."
4. The Derby Festival Mini Marathon is in its 41st year and attracts about 12,000 runners each year. If 12,000 people of every age can do it, I can do it.
5. "Why did I decide to run 13.1 miles?" I decided to run the Derby Festival Mini Marathon when my best friend asked me to do it with her. It was an outrageous idea, since neither of us could run a mile nonstop when we started training. An idea outrageous enough to be possible with a best friend.
6. The mini marathon sticker to go on the back of my car at the end of the race. You've seen these stickers on the bumpers of the cars in front of you at rush hour. And yes, if you rear-end a car bearing that sticker, the driver will be able to run after you.
7. "What's next? Wait, slow down. Slow and steady is sure to win the race." In a world where we are inundated with the latest and greatest with every click of the refresh button, it is the reminders to look past the computer and out our office window that stay with us.
8. The finish line. By the time I make it to the Derby Festival in April, the banner screaming "Finish" will be a sign of success no matter what my finishing time is. And on that day in April, I will finally be able to say, "I did it."
So far in my training, I've made it three continuous miles. Follow me as I train for the many miles ahead.

In a stroke of coincidence, the Duke of Gloucester's two daughters and son have announced they are all expecting babies at the same time.
The Queen's cousin and his Denmark-born wife Birgitte are said to be "delighted" by the happy news.
"They are all due within a month of one another," says a family friend.
"Birgitte will certainly have her hands full."
The Duke and Duchess are already grandparents to two-year-old Xan, who has the courtesy title Lord Culloden.
His mother is GP Claire Booth, who is married to their son, Alexander, the Earl of Ulster. They are expecting their second child.
Their elder daughter, Lady Davina, (pictured with husband Gary Lewis, left) is also pregnant.
And so is their younger daughter, Lady Rose, 29, who is married to George Gilman, son of property developer and former director of Leeds United Football Club Peter Gilman.

New Aroma Chemicals: Thujone Alternatives
By: Michael Britten-Kelly
Perfumers often use the descriptor "thujone" to describe a particular note in fragrances. However, the odor of thujone itself seems to be inseparable from the character of the essential oils in which it is found. This article will examine the uses of thujone and thujone containing materials in perfumery, and describe some synthetic materials — old and new— that are intended to provide this note.

There's no image yet of what Calgary's new central library will look like, but city agencies promised a new landmark crafted by the designers of the modern, angular face of the world's most storied library. Snohetta, of Norway, designed the airy internal amphitheatre and elegant sloped roof of the library in Alexandria, Egypt, and have crafted similar signatures for the Oslo opera house and 9/11 memorial in New York.
There's never been a better time to be a tourist in your own vibrant, if somewhat battered, town.
Anna is coming to Calgary this fall. She's 12, from northern Spain, parts her hair down the middle and stands about four storeys tall, from the neck up.
With so much public attention focused on the Airport Trail tunnel construction, it's a project at the other end of the road that has quietly been beset by critical problems and delays. The $43-million westward extension of Airport Trail (96th Avenue N.E.) from Deerfoot Trail to Harvest Hills Boulevard was supposed to open last September. But the city has flagged quality problems on all four bridges constructed over Canadian Pacific tracks and Nose Creek, and insufficient concrete covering rebar on one bridge is so worrisome that the city and contractor are still determining whether part of that crossing must be demolished and rebuilt to ensure durability and safety.
The city is at high risk of delivering four-car LRT service a year later than has long been promised, thanks largely to delays in getting provincial grants to buy new cars. Since at least 2008, Calgary Transit's promised antidote to rush-hour cramming on CTrain lines was an extra car on the three-vehicle chains starting in late 2014.
Calgary has evolved from a prairie city into a cosmopolitan centre.
On the day of the opening of the controversial Peace Brige, users of the iPhone photograpy app Instagram posted these images of the pedestrian span designed by Santiago Calatrava.
When graphic designer Rick Thomas designed a black, red and white T-shirt to mark this weekend's Peace Bridge opening, he planned an order of around 20, for friends, Druh Farrell supporters and maybe a few architecture buffs. Today, he's at the silkscreening shop to view some of the 310 shirts ordered.
The newly released design for the city's new pedestrian bridge has been derided by some Calgarians as a gaudy red waste of $24.5 million, and praised by others as a sleek, elegant contribution to downtown Calgary.

Common questions:


text:
While the C-5 was turning over its engines, a female crewman gave the G.I.'s on board the usual information regarding seat belts, emergency exits, etc.
Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell and crew take you safely to Afghanistan '
An old Master Sergeant sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, 'Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman? '
When the attendant came by he said 'Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?'
'Yes,'! said the attendant, 'In fact, this entire crew is female.'
'My God,' he said, 'I wish I had two double scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think with only women up there in the cockpit.'
'That's another thing, Sergeant,' said the crew member, 'We No Longer Call It "The Cockpit". It's "The Box Office".'
Quote of the Day.
'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So... if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of sh*t.'
Remember this word: "sulforaphane".
It's what helps give vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage their, er, "distinctive" smell when cooked, but it's also the chemical that has been shown to target and kill cancer cells, leaving normal cells unaffected.
Clinical trials have begun on its potential use in cancer prevention and treatment, particularly for prostate and breast cancer.
But consuming sulforaphane-rich foods on a regular basis is a simple, safe and affordable way you can reduce your cancer risk.
Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
They don't have time to make it.
Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.
Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.
Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn't come out of carpets.
Real Mothers don't want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up...
Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'
And get their answer when a little
Voice says, 'Because I love you best.'
Real Mothers know that a child's growth
Is not measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mummy to Mum to Mother.....
The Images of Mother
4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mummy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mum knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn�t know everything!
14 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother? She wouldn�t have a clue.
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mum? She's so five minutes ago.
18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!
35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mum's opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mum would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mum.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she
Shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
This is Priceless .
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of TAMPONS and proceeded to the checkout counter.
The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"
"Eight," the boy replied.
The man continued, "Do you know what these are used for?"
The boy replied, "not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either."

(3) Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
(4) Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
(5) Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
(6) If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

(9) Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

ScienceThe Scientific Life provokes us to discard worn-out understandings
— Thomas F. Gieryn
Who are scientists? What kind of people are they? What capacities and virtues are thought to stand behind their considerable authority? The Scientific Life is historian Steven Shapin's story about who scientists are, who we think they are, and why our sensibilities about such things matter. From the early twentieth-century origins of corporate research laboratories to the high-flying scientific entrepreneurship of the present. Shapin argues that the radical uncertainties of much contemporary science have made personal virtues more central to its practice than ever before, and he also reveals how radically novel aspects of late modern science have unexpectedly deep historical roots. His elegantly conceived history of the scientific career and character ultimately encourages us to reconsider the very nature of the technical and moral worlds in which we now live.
"The pockets of science that are unaffected by commerce, or by the state, are steadily shrinking. To ignore this would be to deny the realities of today's science. After this book, that cannot happen again. The Scientific Life should therefore be required reading for all scientists and those studying the social activity of science.. . . . Shapin's study is neither a sources-based history of the past nor an empirical social science analysis of the present. It is instead an extended insightful essay. This genre enriches public debate."
— Jerome Ravetz
— Barbara Herrnstein Smith
— H. Allen Orr
— Sally Gregory Kohlstedt
"In this brilliant book Shapin takes us from celebration and criticism to description and understanding of one of the most important phenomena of the twentieth century—the creation of technical novelties. Richly paradoxical and entertaining, The Scientific Life contrasts the evidence-free moralizing of the cultural critics and early sociologists of science with the often insightful analyses of the despised industrial researchers. He shows that when adequately described the worlds of technoscientific research and venture capital are not the soulless, routinized, bureaucratic antithesis of the academic ideal, but ones where the necessary uncertainties of innovation are dealt with using face-time, trust, charisma, and even proverbs, things our narratives mistakenly consign to a pre-modern era. This is a book where the doers get their due and the contemplators their comeuppance; where the quotidian is richer than the transcendent."
"The Scientific Life provokes us to discard worn-out understandings that science outside universities is necessarily aberrant and that the credibility of scientific knowledge no longer depends upon moral judgments about the experts who make reality claims. In that task, the book succeeds masterfully."
— Thomas F. Gieryn
"A stunning antidote to the naive portraits of how science is or should be done."
"Shapin has produced a work of exceptional originality, power and significance. He has also given readers much to chew over in regard to contemporary developments and perennial issues. . . . Shapin tells this story exceediongly well, framing its episodes richly and developing them through vivid depictions of representative figures, texts, incidents and anecdotes."
— Barbara Herrnstein Smith
"Remarkably rich in detail and revelation. . . . Shapin may not be doing a conventional history of the 'scientific life,' but what he has done is both novel and provocative."
— H. Allen Orr
"An evocative look at both the history of sociology of science and of lives in science."
— Sally Gregory Kohlstedt
Shapin (history of science, Harvard Univ.; The Scientific Revolution) here examines science as a vocation. The practice of science, once a calling from God or, perhaps, a mere amateur's hobby, has come into its own as a profession, particularly following World War II. Shapin's sociological history documents this vocational evolution as he raises the following questions: How does the practice and authority of science relate to the virtues of its practitioners? Is academic science superior to the commercialization of science? How does industry compete for the best minds in science? Can the practice of scientific research be organized, team driven, and accountable to investors? Shapin addresses all these questions without weighing in with his personal opinions on the topic. The result is a thought-provoking challenge to the assumptions of scientific objectivity by science's practitioners and an acknowledgment of just how important the morality of scientists may be in the advancement and authority of knowledge. Recommended for academic and large public libraries.

Truckasauras' 'Bothell Trance,' Barboza concert June 28
Image from soundcloud.com/ica-london
"Bothell Trance" by Truckasauras
Truckasauras, the great Eastside/Seattle electronic band, has long split the difference between danceable party jams and more scholarly, conceptual music. New, legitimately epic song "Bothell Trance" is the latter. People are calling it Truckasauras' best song ever. They are not crazy. It's a real beauty, consisting of mathematically-organized synthesizers that cluster and stab like acupuncture.
"Bothell Trance" was recorded for London's Institute of Contemporary Arts, which is in the middle of a season focused on sound. The Truck track is part of the 100-artist "Soundworks" exhibit, inspired by Bruce Nauman's audio installation "Days." Both play through speakers in the museum now. But "Soundworks" also exists fully on the Internet, right here.
For all the brain-tickling, chin-stroking qualities of "Bothell Trance" I would still like to hear it on the dance floor. Ideally it would blast through Barboza's high-powered speakers Thursday, June 28, while Truckasauras plays music and local company Sausage Skateboards shows videos. Learn more about that event here.
Listen to "Bothell Trance" above and check out a visual key to the song. Confused? Read Truckasauras' explanation below:
'Bothell Trance' is a 60 count form that explores the relationship between the 2, 3, 4, and 5 count. Voiced by three monophonic voices and one polyphonic voice. Each count has it's own pitch and timbre and variations are derived from the common events the different counts share, patterns that emerge when visually represented, and the order in which the events occur. The variations are discovered and then arranged in an attempt to achieve musical elements. Harmonics, form, progression. Theme, rest, return. Lose, build momentum. Create, fill space. Producing dynamics through patterns of events that are within the confines of a static measurement and speed. The arrangement is circular.

Cancellation of JYJ documentary leads some to wonder about SM Entertainment's influence
A screening of "The Day", a documentary on the daily life of K-pop group JYJ, was cancelled Monday, prompting questions over the real reason for cancellation. JYJ's management C-Jes Entertainment stated "'The Day' was to be released in theaters on Feb. 9 in more than 20 CGV theaters. The relevant contracts had been signed. But on Jan 20, one day after initial reporting on the film, CGV unilaterally gave us notice of cancellation." C-Jes Entertainment also stated, "We filed claims to the Fair Trade Commission and the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission on Jan 27. In addition, we are taking steps to file law suits."* Read More →

Crooked I's been a busy, busy man—in addition to getting ready for the release of his debut LP, B.O.S.S. (due out sometime this year), recording new music as one-fourth of the Slaughterhouse supergroup, and preparing to launch a second Hip-Hop Weekly series, he's got, well, something else, up his sleeve. Though Crook has yet to reveal a single detail regarding his 'secret project,' the newly-released If You Ever Hear Me should have fans waiting with bated breath for… whatever it is. An opening sample from Comedy Central's The Chocolate News, though it resurrects the old "hip-hop is dead" cliché, serves as a a fitting lead-in to the emcee's meditations on the struggle to maintain one's authenticity in a genre that has arguably strayed from its roots. The delicately dope balance Crook strikes between righteous anger and clever wordplay, as well as King Tech's tense, guitar-driven beat are sure to please those whose tastes run to the underground. If you're curious about Crook's big secret, we're right there with you—stayed tuned to the Booth for all the latest info.

Group offers voter guide
Group offers voter guide
By Joe Baker, Senior Editor
Wondering who those candidates are who are running for the state supreme court and the appellate courts? Now you can get good, unbiased information right on your computer.
The Illinois Campaign for Political Reform has launched a new website that provides a voters guide to judicial elections and candidates at the state level.
This guide can be found at www.illinoisvotersguide.org or by calling (312) 335-1767. It also furnishes background on the Illinois court system, links to bar associations and other sources of information and profiles of candidates for state judicial positions.
The information is unedited and was submitted by the candidates themselves. Candidates were asked to answer two questions: How can the administration of justice in Illinois be improved, and what should be done to insulate judges from political and other pressures?
The Campaign for Political Reform said its research showed a majority of voters believe the state should furnish an objective voters guide to judicial candidates before each election.
These poll results highlighted a serious need which spurred us to create this voters guide, said Cynthia Canary, director of the group. The online guide is full of useful, objective information to help the voter in evaluating candidates, she said.
Wherever possible, the site provides links to county and local bar associations so voters can get information on circuit court candidates.

Now, whether or not those efforts are actually effective, well, that's a completely different story. Since its notable decline, the Canadian company's had to get creative to try and bring back customers it lost, namely to other competitors in the mobile space like Google and Apple. With that in mind, BlackBerry has a introduced the Trade-Up Program, which it intends to use to convince iPhone users to trade in their device for its flagship smartphone, the Passport.

Wanna go on a wildly fun rollercoaster ride? Then watch Erik Meijer's "One Hacker Way" rant. Right out of the gate, I guesstimate that he alienated at least half of his audience with his opening "if you haven't checked in code in the last week, what are you doing at a developer's conference?" question.
I didn't agree with all of what Erik said (I doubt anyone did), but I give him full credit for sticking his neck out and attacking as many sacred cows as he could: Agile, Scrum, 2 day certification, TDD "waste", non-hackers, planning poker, the myth of self-organizing teams, etc. Mmmm, sacred cows make the best tasting hamburgers.
Uncle Bob Martin, the self-smug pope who arrogantly proclaimed "If you don't do TDD, you're unprofessional", tried to make light of Erik's creative rant with this lame blog post: "One Hacker Way!". Nice try Bob, but we know you're seething inside because many of your sacredly held beliefs were put on the stand. You seem to enjoy hacking the sacred cows of the reviled "traditional" way of developing software, but it's a different story when your own cutlets are at steak.
Mr. Meijer pointed out what I, and no doubt many others, have thought for years: agile, particularly Scrum, is a subtle, insidious form of control. At least with explicit, transparent control, one knows the situation and where one stands. With Scrum, the koolaid-guzzling flock is duped into believing they're in control; all the while being micro-managed with daily standups, burndown charts, velocity tracking, and cutesy terminology. No wonder it's amassed huge fame and success – managers love Scrum because it makes their job easier and anesthetizes the coders.
My fave laugh-out-loud moment in Erik's talk was when he presented Jeff Sutherland as the perceived messiah of software development:
I've found that the best books and talks are those in which I find some of the ideas enlightening and some revolting. Erik Meijer's talk is certainly one of those brain-busting gems.
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. – F. Scott Fitzgerald
The #noprograms Revolution
I've been developing software in the aerospace and defense industry for 30+ years. Because of the sizes of, and innate System-of-Systems nature of, the solutions in this domain, the processes used to develop them are by necessity, heavyweight. Oh sure, agile/lean techniques can be used effectively in the teeny-tiny-small deep down in the bowels of some of these programs, but to assume "scaling agile" will work in a domain with hundreds of programmers from multiple contractors working on the same distributed system is naive at best, and downright disingenuous at worst.
The most ridiculous examples of inapplicable development practices to the aerospace and defense industry are #noestimates" and "#noprojects". The "#noprojects" cult is so far off base that they don't even acknowledge the existence of "programs" – which are a way of organizing a large set of inter-dependent "#noprojects" into, well, a larger grained mission-critical entity worth tens of millions of dollars. It's like before there were classes and namespaces(packages) added to a programming language to accommodate increasing software system size, there were only "functions" for organizing the structure of a program – and having functions as your only organizing mechanism doesn't scale well to large software systems.
Hell, the #noprojects people are akin to #noclasses and #nonamespaces people, of which there are thankfully, #nomembers. Really hardcore #noprojects people are perhaps even more loony. They are equivalent to a hypothetical #nofunctionsallowed crowd that demands monolithic, straight-line code only. Line number 1 straight to line number 5,000,000 – and you can't use loops or "ifs" because they don't add value and #nofunctionsallowed is all about "maximizing the amount of work not done".
But hey, if you don't need any "projects" to build a successful product from the gecko, then by extrapolation you don't need any "programs" for organizing your projects. Hence, the inimitable BD00 proposes to "scale up" the "#noprojects" movement. We'll start a revolutionary #noprograms movement, or equivalently, #justcode . We'll leapfrog both the #noestimates and #noprojects movements at once. W00t!
The Only Approval That Matters
At its core, process agility is all about continuous learning, fast feedback loops, and fluid changeability. Unlike pre-agile methods (and even some currently purported agile methods), which assume that people are forward-marching automatons who "better not make mistakes" and must defend the fort against all external forces of change, process agility accommodates the mental limitations and fallibility of REAL human beings.
Having said that, how agile do you think a process which includes a sign-off list like this is:
Imagine that whatever has been "approved" by a ceremonial sheet like this is post-facto found to be laced with errors, inconsistencies, and ambiguities due to natural human fallibility. How likely do you think that finders-of-mistakes will publicly point them out, demand a production line stoppage to fix the turds, and suggest that the director-manager-lead approval gauntlet be traversed again? Conversely, how likely do you think that finders-of-mistakes will say "f*ck-it!", keep their mouths shut, and keep goose-stepping forward with the herd.
Fear not, dear reader. BD00 has a simple and clean solution to the director-manager-lead approval gauntlet problem. Collapse the list of approvers down to one – the only one that matters:
Please submit your plans for BD00 approval in the comments section. As his executive assistant, I can assure you that his stamp/no-stamp decision will be made pronto. However, don't call us. We'll call you.
Induce, Deduce, Reflect
Induction is the process of synthesizing a generalization from a set of particulars; a mental step up in abstraction from many-to-one.
Deduction is the process of decomposing one generalization into a set of particulars; a mental step down in abstraction from one to many.
A good personal software design process requires iterative execution of both types of sub-processes; with liberal doses of random reflection thrown into the timeline just to muck things up enough so that you can never fully retrace your steps. It's pure alchemy!
Old School, But Still Relevant
"A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable." – Leslie Lamport
I've always loved that quote. But that's only one reason why I was overjoyed when I stumbled upon this article written by Turing award winner Leslie Lamport: "Why We Should Build Software Like We Build Houses". The other reason is that what he wrote is old school, but still relevant in many contexts:
Most programmers regard anything that doesn't generate code to be a waste of time. Thinking doesn't generate code, and writing code without thinking is a recipe for bad code. Before we start to write any piece of code, we should understand what that code is supposed to do. Understanding requires thinking, and thinking is hard. – Leslie Lamport
I recently modified some code I hadn't written to add one tiny feature to a program. Doing that required understanding an interface. It took me over a day with a debugger to find out what I needed to know about the interface — something that would have taken five minutes with a spec. To avoid introducing bugs, I had to understand the consequences of every change I made. The absence of specs made that extremely difficult. Not wanting to find and read thousands of lines of code that might be affected, I spent days figuring out how to change as little of the existing code as possible. In the end, it took me over a week to add or modify 180 lines of code. And this was for a very minor change to the program. – Leslie Lamport
New age software gurus and hard-core agilistas have always condescendingly trashed the "building a house" and "building a bridge" metaphors for software development. The reasoning is that houses and bridges are made of hard-to-reconfigure atoms, whilst software is forged from simple-to-reconfigure bits. Well, yeah, that's true, but… size matters.
In small systems, if you discover you made a big mistake three quarters of the way through the project, you can rewrite the whole shebang in short order without having to bend metal or cut wood. But as software systems get larger, at some point the "rewrite-from-scratch" strategy breaks down – and often spectacularly. Without house-like blueprints or bridge-like schema to consult, finding and reasoning about and fixing mistakes can be close to impossible – regardless of which state-of-the-art process you're using.
An Intimate Act Of Communication
Take a look at these three state machine models for intimately developing a chunk of functionally cohesive software:
The key distinguishing feature of the two machines on the right from the pure TDD machine on the left is that some level of design is the initial driver, informer, of the subsequent coding/testing development process. Note that all three methods contain feedback transitions triggered by "learning as we go" events.
In my understanding of TDD, no time is "wasted" upfront thinking about, or capturing, design data at any level of granularity. The pithy mandate from the TDD gods is "red-green-refactor" or die. The design bubbles up solely from the testing/coding cycle in a zen-like flow of intelligence.
Personally, I work in accordance with the DDT model. How about you? For newbies who were solely taught, and only know how to do, TDD, have you ever thought about trying the "traditional" DDT way?
BTW, I learned, tried, and then rejected, TDD as my personal process from "Unit Test Frameworks". Except for the parts on TDD, it's a terrific book for learning about unit testing.
Since "design" is an intimately personal process, whatever works for you is fine by BD00. But just because it's "newer" and has a lot of rabid fan-boys promoting it (including some big and famous consultants), don't auto-assume TDD is da bomb.
Design is an intimate act of communication between the creator and the created. – Unknown
Challenging the Priesthood
It seems to have taken awhile, but people are finally speaking out strongly against the papal infallibility of the TDD high priesthood. Michał Bartyzel, Andrew Binstock, and Jim Coplien (who actually has been speaking out against it for years) are a few of these blasphemous heretics.
Any of the "driven" techniques can work, but to insinuate that they are the "only way(s)" to build superior products is arrogant, hubristic, and plain stupid. In mentally challenging, knowledge-intensive work, people have, and always will have, different ways of creating beautiful products.
When I speak with adherents of test-driven development (TDD) in particular, there is a seeming non-comprehension that truly excellent, reliable code was ever developed prior to the advent of this one practice. I sense their view that the long history of code that put man on the moon, ran phone switches, airline reservation systems, and electric grids was all the result of luck or unique talents, rather than a function of careful discipline and development rigor. – Andrew Binstock
"…these promises were not supported by unambiguous and verifiable data in early years of TDD. The enthusiastic reaction to TDD came first and then some (selective?) measurements were made to verify its promises. – Michał Bartyzel
"If you find your testers (or yourself) splitting up functions to support the testing process, you're destroying your system architecture and code comprehension along with it. Test at a coarser level of granularity." – Jim Coplien
Personally, I start sketching out quite a bit of a design upfront (OMG!!!!!) in "bent" UML (OMG, OMG!!!!!) prior to writing a single line of code. I then start writing the code and I subsequently write/run some selective unit tests on that code. In summary, I dynamically build/test the code base toward the coarse, "upfront" design as I go. Of course, according to the high priests of TDD, I'm unprofessional and I obviously produce inferior designs and bug-ridden, unmaintainable code. Gosh, it sux to be me.
For more details on how I develop software, check out this four year old post: PAYGO II. And no, I'm not promoting it as better than your personal process or, gasp, the unassailable holy grail of software development… TDD! No books, magazine articles, conference talks, or two-day certification courses are planned. It's simply better for me, and perhaps only me.

Giving our children roots and wings isn't easy. Here's a daily devotional to help inspire us not to give up.
A wise son maketh a glad father. . . . —PROVERBS 10:1
A friend of mine claims that it's the job of a parent to give a child both roots and wings. Well, when Timothy went off to college and Carol and I no longer had any boys at home, I was worried that maybe we'd overdone it in the wings department.
I mean, for the first week Tim didn't even call, and after that we'd get only nuggets: He loved his classes, he had great friends, he was playing Frisbee on the lawn and working hard. But in my empty-nest stage, I kept wondering: Didn't he miss us even a little? Didn't he miss our fall rituals, like shopping for apples at the green market, going to a Columbia football game, carving a jack-o'-lantern, planting the spring bulbs? Every November we'd put in tulip bulbs and daffodils and crocuses. Now I'd have to do it on my own.
A full year's worth of devotions written by women of faith, covering important issues of family, faith and friendship.
"I'm glad Tim's happy," I'd say in my prayers, "but fall feels empty without him."
Then one day I came home from work and Carol said, "There's a package for you on the dining room table." A sizable cardboard box from some unknown address, it smelled faintly of damp earth. I opened it. On top were an order form and a card. "Happy Father's Day a little late," it said. "Love, Tim." There in the box were bulbs—spring bulbs to plant in the autumn.
"What a great present, Tim," I told him on the phone. "I'm glad you didn't forget."
"Sure, Dad," he said. Wings and roots: It takes both.
May my children remember where they're from as they spread their wings and fly.
