A blog post?  Here?? Yes, I know it has been an extremely long while.  I've been doing some writing over here, for the blog associated with my new company (Marcato Partners, LLC) that is focused on agile development coaching.  Even with that focus, I'm still doing technical consulting of course - I just delivered this talk on Velocity (AppFabric Caching) at the Twin Cities Code Camp this past weekend (April 10, 2010).  I’ll be delivering something close to this again at the May 20th, 2010 at the local Connected Systems User Group.
