Kicking around Sherman Oaks
We decided to take the dog for a window shopping trip on Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks. Aviva got to have her picture taken with President Obama (well, almost). A golf shop was under construction and they had some cool machines inside. And I bought a really cool tee shirt at one of the shops.

Scrum Master training
I am now a Certified Scrum Master after attending two days of training down in Costa Mesa. The class was given by Michael James from Danube Technologies. The class was very practical and pragmatic, as befits training for an agile process in my opinion. We learned about the three roles: Product owner Scrum Master Team […]

Videos of Basil – Blackberry on AT&T finally hits 4.5 …

A friend I walk with at lunch often also has a Blackberry with AT&T service, and he found that the latest OS was […]

New Year’s Eve dinner at Angelini Osteria
Aviva found this restaurant somewhere, and I’m glad she did. An Osteria typically serves food somewhere between the quicker trattoria and the all-out restaurante, while also offering more localized, seasonal, special dishes. Angelini Osteria (323.297.0070) fills that niche perfectly. We started with the fried calamari; the plate is huge, definitely share any appetizer among two […]
