Childhood Rhyme
One bright morning in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back-to-back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
came and killed the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie is true,
ask the blind man, he saw it too!

ScrumMaster Certification Course for Software Project Management
I have recently been certified to deliver the ScrumMaster Certification course. This course is a great introduction to Scrum and Agile in general. In many respects, it can be considered an alternative to the PMI's PMP certification. I'm quite happy to be able to deliver this course as it is one more step in allowing me to work close to home. This course is going to be held in Toronto on Dec. 28 and 29 as well as at future dates in March and May.

Working with Bell
The last eight days, my web sites and email have been unavailable due to an error in wiring made by my ISP, Bell Canada. This has been a source of great frustration to me. Finally, after many hours on the phone, and with assistance from management at Bell, the mistake was rectified earlier this evening. Thanks to those at Bell who helped out in overcoming the bureaucracy of trying to deal with isolated functional groups (tech support, testing and technicians). In particular I would like to thank Robert, Patrick, Todd and Brian who over the course of today probably spend several hours altogether assisting me.

Lot's of bits
My mom is visiting from Sudbury. She loves the fact that Alexei, Cal and I all write music. She says my music is very experimental/abstract/intellectual.
Really great article on web apps.
I've been reading "Foreign Affairs" and this news about a vaccine is timely.

New Short Song just published
You can find it at http://www.berteig.org/mishkin/BrokenPhetishMusic.html at the bottom of the list. It's called New Home Means Hope III.
Enjoy!
I'm planning on leasing a Smart car - specifically the fortwo model. 4.2L/100km which kicks butt (same as the 2005 Toyota Prius, but at almost half the cost for the vehicle).
