After getting back from one great Agile 2008
conference I had some time to get back to my grinding, head in the keyboard work kick back, relax and read some of the great content out there on the web.

There are also some great tips on taking portraits, and I’m looking forward to getting more of those tips submissions.
And speaking of great project’s Brian’s still running the 50$ camera project – a great way to experience film and get some cool prizes.
