Working on a new section of my book - in Amsterdam

I’m in my favorite city, it’s raining and that’s a good thing.

Cause I’m heads down - working on not just a new chapter, but an entire new section of my book “How to  build the Open Mesh”.

The idea is that I need to give more away in the treatise, put some meat on it’s bones.  I call it a book, but it’s more than that.  It’ll be a blueprint for distributed platforms.  A mix of business modules, marketing programs and user interface standards.  Call it a treatise, a rant or visionary diatribe, it’s how I see the future unfolding and how small developers can participate in this tremendous thing going on out there.

It’s a video, it’s a wiki (currently inundated with spam) and it’s a coffee table book.

Well just stay tuned.

Meanwhile not sure now many people saw these photos.  While everyone else was freezing and hungry, I know enough about my body that when I’m tired and jet lagged, I don’t fight it. I just embrace sleep.  It’s actually quie luscious.

Better that than to walk around miserable, like the walking dead.  We’re talking 25+ years of doing this people - at some point you learn patterns.  My pattern is - when tired, go to sleep.  I then felt great the rest of the  conference.
