I was interviewed by Carl Williams via email a few months ago. He's interviewed a few other people as well and put together a short interview piece. It's an interesting mix of perspectives.

The Agile It! Experience (aka Agile ITX) finished up this weekend and was a great success. The speakers were all top rate. The audience was educated and engaged. We had great interactions and great questions. I brought my daughter Hannah along and she walked the fine line between entertaining the audience without annoying them. Other than me bashing my head into the side of the swimming pool (ouch!) and having too many managers (and not enough management related talks), I can't think of a thing that wasn't stellar. Next time I'll bring goggles to the pool, and I can guaranty we'll have the management track topped out next time around.
Here are a few related links summing up the conference:

The entire conference went extremely well... and you'll be seeing more of them in the future.

Jennette Mullaney was kind enough to attend my talk Continuous Integration, The Cornerstone of a Great Shop talk in Las Vegas. We spoke for a bit afterwards and she put it all together into a nice interview.
Continuous integration reduces bugs, increases productivity
Enjoy!
