I blog in more than one place. I write about mostly tech stuff here — programming languages and cloud computing, for example. On the Enterprise2Open blog, I occasionally write about “soft”-er stuff, like management and enterprisey cultural issues.

As is typical for me, I expect it to annoy a large swath of people. If that includes you, please comment on the E2Open blog (rather than here), and give me the opportunity to annoy you even more? Thanks.
