Since Last We Spoke, 11-5-12

I’m spending the week in Portland, OR teaching and consulting with a fantastic group of folks, a gig I’ve been looking forward to for awhile. Here’s hoping this week will be a drier and warmer one for our friends and colleagues in New York and New Jersey still  recovering from Sandy. For a peek at what’s been flowing into my in-box and my Twitter feed since last we spoke:
