Quick example I use time and time again: the notion of a Dog. Picture Dog in your head. Come on now, do yourself a favor and do me a favor and play along here. It wont hurt your brain.

Go ahead. Picture Dog. For those who find the idea of a Dog a bit much and do not understand what I am asking you to do, you are essentially defining what a Dog is in your mind as it may appear in Webster’s. At the same time, we will show (because there are eight of us here), you are simultaneously making grave assumptions and positing them as inextricable truths. People use this to sell software, car polish, and even the idea of a 50k marriage ceremony.

Most likely you pictured a four-legged creature with teeth, a tail, two ears, fur, and all those things that make up Dog. Now think of every dog (lowercase) you have ever known. Do any of them exactly match your idea of Dog? If one happens to, more than one cannot. What color fur does Dog have? What if I shave it off? Still a dog? What about the dog that lost a leg or was born deformed? Still a Dog? We, and science (which attempts in vain and endless desperation to accommodate what we learn as we go along) have the uncanny and quite handy ability to say, “Sure, that is a ‘Dog with Three Legs’” and I hope you see where I am going with this. It is not until something becomes real, tangible, interactive, of this world, removed from the ethereal and Universal conceptualization that we are actually talking about the world we live in.

In the beginning, there were fatty acid chains. Phospholipids (this is dish soap… strings of fats). One day in a land far far away a bunch of them found water, and the water excited the ability of these chains to attach to each other until one bent unto itself unto itself unto itself. This happened a whole bunch of times. At least 11. Suddenly, one happened to capture something inside of it. I went outside and swung a butterfly net in empty air with no butterflies in sight. On the 138th swing, my shoulder was burning but inside that net was a leaf. True story. Really.

There are those that believe this is how life was created. I will not get into that here because apparently, I have been told my blog posts are already making some people uncomfortable when it comes to matters of Universals and similar. Still, it is perfectly plausible that at one point, micelles (balls of these lipids) formed and captured something inside of them. Try this with liquid soap and a bowl of pepper or (*wink*) iron shavings… you may find you get soap bubbles that appear to move towards something as though they had a will of their own and as they form and form again, more and more properties will be introduced. Call it accident, call it evolution, call it crazy, just dont call it late for dinner. Evolution is not thoughtful all the time, nor does it have to stem from God or anything besides what we know as nature and refer to as Nature (all of everything in this example, and something I cannot define because as soon as I do, I make it amorphous). The overarching point is, with simple building blocks and the right environment amazing things can happen.

Likewise, as those amazing things happen, you get objects like heavy soap bubbles. These might not last so long, full of iron shavings and bumping against each other. What actually happened is that one of these bubbles was caught in *gasp* ANOTHER bubble and something called a liposome was formed (a bilayer, really). The liposome looks a heck of a lot like a cell and a cell membrane or the earth and it’s atmosphere. Amazing. Yes it is. Ever notice how Cheerios seem to find each other in a bowl of milk? Hmmmmmm? There is veracity in simplicity and constraint in hard definition. You know this if you have read a Statement of Work with any kind of reasonable level of technical professionalism. I am, like, REALLY good at that stuff. Good at eating Cheerios, too. They dont find each other as easily when buried in sugar, however. Not many things do besides ants and other vermin.

Fast forward a few billion years because I would bore myself: somewhere down the line machines came into being. There was the wheel, then the spoke, gear, pulley, and I am sure I am not sure how manufacturing evolved but the notion that Toyota mastered it is insane. Muda is a cute little catchphrase Agilists throw around and Emo Agilists have tattooed in Chinese on their ankles in order to sound smarter than they are. It does not take a genius to realize there is such a thing as waste and yeah – it is not good unless it produces something useful and then well, I guess it is not quite muda anymore, is it?

More tricks of language and making things that are ‘specialized for a purpose’:  if there was not Waste, there would not be Efficiency, would there? No Up without Down and no magnetic micelles that develop a flagellum without plain old fatty acid chains. And no aqueous environments to make it happen in without non-aqueous environments. There would just be Environment. And, environment. How boring and impossible. It is not the Uncertainty Principle, and I have only heard myself say it, but as soon as you look at or have perspective on something, it is defined within the constraints of the senses. This is where imagination and the discipline of knowing when to say WHEN is important.

Do you remember Dog? Think of him again. Come back, Doggie.

Is he in your head? Dog? Mr. Dog? Come, boy.

Did you see a Him because I said think of Him? Was it the same Dog you thought of before? Did you have free thought or were your seemingly undemanding and agnostic parameters more constraining than you originally might have thought? I do not know about you, but I can be guided by language and choice of words. You can too. I just said I didnt know about you so I would not sound like a snot. We all are. Ever sit on Santa’s lap? That was the lap of deceit. Scary. Watch out for fat old men who call out for kids to come here and sit on their lap.

Point being, we work with what we have and we move along trying to become better. The “trying to become better” part has yet to be addressed. This pursuit of “being better” is legit, but what is not legit is the mandate that one way of becoming better is better than another. Better not say that again or I better get a thesaurus. Most of the time we try to become better so we can make money. Motivation is of utmost importanance and please please please keep it in the back of your mind as you buy a product versus forming a relationship.

I used one word: “better” with at least 3 different meanings but without introducing a change of meaning. One word with so many manifestations. How is that possible? Assumption? Context? Do we start with a blank slate and fill in what works when the answer is not cut and dry?

It is possible to have multiplicity within simplicity and it happens because of advantages handed down and the movement of grunts and gestures to a language with context, multiplicity, and extensibility (see where I am going yet?) built in. It is not about the word and it is not about the fatty acid chain. It is about what can be done with them. It is about the mistakes and the muda and the collisions and the serendipity. It is about potential and integration with something real, something Agile. Stop claiming that Scrum is an Agile model. Going to the bathroom is an Agile model. You are impressing nobody besides your bankers. This is innate human ability we have had to be trained OUT OF.

And this was true long before the Agile Manifesto was written by a bunch of guys looking to make a buck on essentially branding a natural process within a “technical” arena. This idea is ridiculous. What is the most misunderstood, incomprehensibly powerful and undefinable network of circuity known to humankind? The brain. Not the Quad Core. I would like to see us spend less time on inventing a faster cable and more time looking at the bottom of the sea or at the brain. The brain, mostly. Fact is, we are intimidated by it. All of us but the bravest of souls who are willing to go with a slim paycheck for the pursuit of Betterment. Bless you, you geeky little misfits.

Agile took a nice firm foothold when Visual development tools became common. Why the sudden reversion to the simple and the contextual, encapsulated, phospholipid? By forcing code to be organized in a visual manner and in the creation of objects and OOP, we could build touchpoints, mini APIs, and components that could be reused or tossed out or better yet, placed in a class library of some sort. Viola! There was a way to codify something. Humans loooooove codifying. It kind of, in some odd way, makes us Master of that which we examine. It is silly. We are a silly species. UML is a great example of taking this a step further and I will admit, UML makes me breathe heavy. True UML. Oh, hot flashes…

Fast forward a shorter period of time and the web was born. Pages were static because HTML was designed to display text and when Al Gore invented the internet it was to share data. Keep THAT in mind and wonder how it has become what it has become (hint: people thought of ways to capitalize on it).

Now we have Content Management Systems. Notepad is one. If you typed fast enough and were a good enough coder, it would likely be the best of them all. There are many others. How does technology (in the web phase now but I believe moving towards the data phase) mirror nature? What is the best way to go about building something in technology that takes advantage of the myriad of lessons Nature has taught and that we have seen in nature?

By being flexible, utilizing highly portable and open formats like XML and XSLT, using an open API schema, and by delivering a framework of fatty acids instead of iron soap bubbles that become useless as soon as we touch them except in that we can charge to build them again with some Palmolive, we can make virtually anything we want as long as that framework does not prevent or straightjacket against it. That is the main problem with Content Management Systems and other Applications: people belong to their tools instead of the tools belonging to the people. You have seen organizations change the way they work because of the software the company purchased and the result be unremarkable. I am sure you have.

Way back when I was a developer, this stuff was getting lots of traction. PowerBuilder rocked the DataWindow (does it exist anymore?)  and the ability to deliver a query result in your screen – something pretty remarkable at the time – was enough to make people notice. We used them everywhere. We believed and knew how cool they were, but none of the Clients we showed our Systems to knew how cool they were. Do a demo of your product and just show the UI, pointing and clicking through a transaction. How frustrating is it to not talk about all the cool stuff going on behind the scenes? I hope it is frustrating. If it is not, you are only waiting to be replaced by a robot.

The obvious issue: there is no money in not having a Client tied to you. The obvious response: the money will come along with a bevy or other benefits if the relationship is sound. Worry about relationships more than deals. Worry about laying the groundwork and knowing when to get your biased self out of the way so people can fit the software to their needs.

I have to buy custom clothes because most of you are so small and satisfied with the ordinary or whatever is “in”. If everyone had to buy custom, I guarantee it would not cost me $300 for a pair of plain old slacks. It is a matter of necessity. What is a guy with 23 inch biceps who stands 5’9″ and weighs 310 pounds to do? I’ll tell you.

I pick a fabric. I get to pick. My shirt.

I pick a button style. My choice. My shirt.

I can go the bespoke route very easily. My shirt.

I get something just for me. My shirt.

Tailored. And I am the unlucky one? Financially I am, but that initial cost is immediately blown away by the fact that I do not look like I have sausages for arms and can actually breathe despite having a 23.5 inch neck. I can look damn slick. You cannot hope to look as slick as I do when you buy off the rack.

In the interest of transparency, all my custom clothes are ruined because I keep growing. This does not happen to normal people. Their custom stuff will look awesome for a long time. I am a monster. A freak of nature. You would not like me when I am angry!!

Custom is a framework. Off the rack is Out of the Box (and the racks themselves happen to be adjustable). With Custom, you can do anything. With Out of the Box, you do what is handed to you even if you have to change the way you do things and if changes are required, you essentially and many times have to start all over. I get free alterations for life. Micelles keep trapping the objects that make up this thing we call the Universe, or Nature, while nature defeats our best attempts to codify and predict it’s behavior.

So what is next? Visual development tools on top of flexibility layered with the ability to hook and link where required is there in frameworks. Some Content Management Systems are frameworks. Many are simply other frameworks with a face. XML is a framework. The difference is that a CMS framework delivers a framework at the inception of a feature instead of the inception of data (while in reality, it does both but people do not generally equate value with an XSLT definition). There is none. Until it manifests. It does not exist until it manifests. It does not matter until it manifests except to explicitly NOT do what you imagine it to, but what it is capable of. Usually, that is more than you hoped for or, you learn quickly that it was a dumb idea and save time and money. Soap bubbles cant fly you to Tahiti.

Do you see the pattern here? Get to the point where you are just about to make a decision you cannot undo (often, this is building that sexy feature out of the box) and stop. Of course, you have to pick a direction, and you want to make judgement calls as to your feature set, but let the tailor do the tailoring. Don’t try to buy me clothes. We will both only look dumb within a short period of time.

From the micelles to the user stories and backlog to the Object Oriented tool to Agile Documentation it is about taking the smallest piece of something you know of which points towards or makes possible the manifestation of that feature, life form, or in reality simply gives rise to possibility. Nothing is possible without Possibility. With a Framework that demands little, allows for a lot, and is wide open to what is around it, Anything is possible.

What are classically the hardest pieces of an IT project besides integration and data migration? Here again we see the issue of two things requiring a third specialized object to provide enablement. In the case of integration, an API or WS or simple SDK at times will provide that enablement and that is ALL that they do. In and of themselves they look like stubs, or little hands looking for another hand to shake. Once you shake it – Shazam! That is what it was there for (cue the lightning bolts and theme song).

In data migration, you need data transformation or a procedure that any MS Partner would love to sell you BizTalk for even though BizTalk is not at all required. Those procedures will just sit there until they are fed data and then SHAZAM (lightning bolts) “I have the power!!!”

Just like I can take two sticks and rub them together, there are undiscovered directions that the objects we built will take. Millions of idiotic (it is my blog so I can say it) people are injecting fish venom in their eyelids to look younger. Dummy, please! But it is their right and they are mighty thankful that botox is available to them even if it is being used in something about as opposite as it was intended for as you can get. Fact is, it can be used for a multiplicity of things. Intent is not always as it appears.

If you take offense because I make fun of the way you look, just look at me. ‘Nuff said. It is a joke. Get over it, please. Bless you and your Botox. Shoot it in your toes for all I care.

Oh by the way, you know that you get a fire if you rub two sticks together? Plain old sticks like Dog plays with. They can’t be wet but eventually they will at least let off a tendril of smoke. I cannot speak to your forearm strength unless you are a developer (haha, cheap joke).

The smallest effective piece has the most potential.

Hmm… where do I remember this from?

Dagnabbit, Legos. It was Legos.

Phospholipids, Micelles, Liposomes, giant gap in history, development of iterative attempts (Agile), OO Toolkits, web frameworks – what comes next? I know what I think. Semantic Web, data talking to data, raw ontologies and Triples ( modus polens and tolens are awesomely pure and telling) laid out there in the world as something constructed like RDFa and able to learn. Yep. Learning machines. And as I said earlier on, a robot is going to take your job and you will be glad for it because this is not Science Fiction. I hate Science Fiction. This is reality and you can just bean a robot a few times with some bricks and it will pretty much shut down. Or, a bucket of water. That worked on TV. Or if the robots really become dangerous we can live in a submarine and plug our brains into things that let us learn at the speed of light and fight off the Evildoers in the Matrix.

For those who are a little less mentally slick, that was a joke. I have to say that, because there will a single nincompoop who cries that I believe in the Matrix. And thank goodness for free radical abnormalities like that. It is what caused the fatty acid to fold along with the fact that nobody said fatty acids cannot fold. And then the micelles. Then liposomes. Then all the way to Agility, OO Development, and platform based architectures and exposed APIs, XML, and simple touchpoints that make lightning bolts come raining down in furious realization of potential, as though uncovering the Ark of the Covenant, as though evolving as a species or as Nature, right in front of our eyes.

Say no to that which limits. Say yes to that which makes possible and allows. Keep your goal in mind, do not trust anyone who has not earned it, and you will be a smart human being who at the very least is known to read a kickass blog.

Let me know how I can help. Seriously. I do not charge money to be a human being who cares. If you want to hire me, we are talking big bucks because right now I am seeing what it is like to be plain old Josh without assumption or constraint.

Trouble is, there are always constraints and my battle to constantly evade them is proving futile (see disclaimer).

It has been expressed to me that I may want to point out that much of what I write is property of MiT Consultants, LLC and only expresses the opinions of Josh Milane, but I do tell the truth and I will not lie to you. I do all this in memory of my Father. You got beef?

That will all change shortly. Also, my book project is officially stalled because I need to work more billable hours.

Doodles are coming. Cool doodles. Workflow doodles that make fun of workflow doodles. Doodles that will make some people upset and some smile. Doodles. By nature, they are informal. Stay tuned… I am excited.

Also, a new project landed in my lap that has been taking some seriously unexpected time. I will not tweet this update, but for those who do read the blog (there is 120 or so subscribed to my feed!) I wanted to give an update because I have that illusion that people care about what I say and want to know where I am.

BTW – CMMI is a gauge, a guide, a more or less academic set of guidelines that originated with the United States Government. It is not something to be emulated, just a mirror to view your organization. These efforts for CMMI for Agile are extraordinary and I don’t know how to say it, but you can imagine how I feel about it, maybe.

Feeling sassy today.

Check out this really slick graphic that I did not do (credit goes to Sarah Chong) depicting Social Media demographics. No idea how they got the data, but it looks slick. We dig slick.

Best,

Josh

Cue the Unsolved Mysteries Music….. UPDATE!

Thanks to Laura, who is practically gifting a brand new tablet to the MiT Team (right now, just me). When she has a site, I will link to her, but for now the world will have to wait for her design and advertising talents. She is busy. Doing stuff.

I have been known to be a conspiracy theorist and really want to believe in the Loch Ness Monster, so I get where you are coming from if you shrug this off, but every time there is a new shiny gadget I am the first to want it. I had every Nextel phone that came out, as they came out for no real reason. Google Buzz is about as useful to me as Google Wave – but is extremely useful to data hoarders.

Anyhow, I found this on Twitter @andrea88 - I actually have the flu and just turned 36 so I am not doing much besides moping around today. Thanks, Andrea.

Thanks, be well. Don’t get this bug I have. Enjoy your dogs. Eat something bad for you. Be easy.

Josh

Social Networking is functionality regarding data about people.

Data is as data does.

What you do with that data is what matters, eh?

So what is Google doing with the data that they are capturing data in support of the Semantic Web? I am sure they will not tell me, but I still wonder, and still do not trust them.

Right now, there is an old “supervisor” of mine shaking his little head at that last comment.

And he is probably still using Chrome like the other cool kids. I wish I was a cool kid.

I am talking about the badge itself. Aren’t badges supposed to be something you want to show off? What is the idea of a badge if not to display something you are proud of?

In addition to the template below, there are two other versions:

1. horizontal (with scroll bar)
2. 2 column (where things are split in apparent random manners).

Also, I am curious as to the utility of this. Thoughts? Throw a badge on random pages and have someone join your fan page or whatnot? Because of course, a link isn’t groovy enough I guess and if people are fans, they sometimes need some coaxing to realize that they are, in fact, fans.

Enjoy the weekend.

Josh

1. I know the lead developer, and he is top-notch. He is also a very solid dude, period. He is probably one of the only people that can make me believe it is possible to develop off of a vision alone. I owe him for that, because it is true.

2. It is actually a useful webapp.

If you tweet, twit, or user Twitter, there may be times where you want to display functionality either to your sales team, a potential lead, or a colleague.

Check out this twitter screencasting tool that is worth a mention if not 5 minutes of your time in case there is one time that this thing might be useful to you. I have already found an occasion to use it and as much as I wish I could claim I had something to do with it, that is not that case.

Josh

I am joking, obviously. I must have like 4 or 5 pairs of clean slacks and at least one pair of jeans.

Mike Miles is a developer whom I have had the pleasure of working with and managing (although he did not need much, if any real management and is one of those developers who just GETS IT). Together we came up with the idea of www.findatweeter.com and he did most of the hard work; he actually coded the thing while I fired off an initial brainstorming document (ouch), rudimentary architecture, Wish List items (oh boy…), and comments on what he had done. It worked out great, although when you actually like a developer you are working on a pet project with, you find yourself reluctant to make critique. At least, that is what they tell me.

Mike nailed it. The guy’s UI skills are awesome. Take a look. UX will be under constant redefinition, although I think we are looking pretty good as-is.

Anyhow, I am excited at what has been built and hope that you find it useful. You can plan and publish Events, locate people near you, basically do all the things that the *other* similar site does but better and with fewer annoyances. I do not like annoyances. Mike has a tolerance, or he would have stopped communication with me a long time ago.

If Mike knows this or not, the project was built using abstract kanban (TM). The board was in our minds, and tasks shifted position without sticky notes. We don’t need no stinkin’ sticky notes! We even blended phases into a singular process of “let’s get it done” and that, also, will soon be trademarked and certification in Get It Done Methodology A.K.A. Limber Development will be available via online course and Money Order (please do not put a name on it – only the dollar amount, which is yet to be determined).

Please enjoy: http://www.findatweeter.com and PLEASE send feedback to contact@findatweeter.com – I know both Mike and myself want this thing to rock and fill whatever void you feel in your Tweeting experience, extend your experience to places never before dreamed of… and if you send us something that would be a good addition, it WILL make it into the next release. Releases come quickly. Sometimes, too quickly. No, you should not read into that.

Thanks so much! Stay LIMBER!

Best,

Josh

How hot is Twitter?

Right now, the graph says it all. I thought this was interesting.

A neat app I found, btw: www.findatweeter.com

And yes, red font means hotness. But I am colorblind, so for all I know it’s maroon or mauve or something.

Or, you could just drop me a note.

I have blogged on this in the past, but lately a few Clients have asked about it and so I find myself revisiting my old conjoined friends: Compliance and Accessibility.

First, a few notes on each and then a direct comparison.

508 Compliance: This is in regard to section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. I always thought it was interesting that following the basic tenets of 508 compliance is very close to doing good foundational search engine optimization. I suppose in some ways the search crawlers and bots are a bit like a site user, without sight or hearing. Does that sound insensitive? I don’t mean for it to. I am just trying to draw a metaphor; to make a site 508 compliant is to make it friendly to those with disabilities (my parents included) and search engines as well.

This is a nice quote summarizing the genesis of 508 compliance (now looking at incorporating broadband internet access as a standard!), taken from the official 508 site:

In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an individual’s ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. ‘ 794d), agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparable to the access available to others.

Various “checkpoints” of 508 compliance involve directly leveraging the WCAG guideline – which is the W3C. A checkpoint is something like “all images need ALT tags” – which  you are hopefully doing already, perhaps for SEO purposes.

508 compliance is ostensibly an “all or nothing” judgement. Either you comply, or you do not. Now, in reality (especially with SASS models and CMS systems where content is rendered dynamically) you will hear people say that they are *mostly* compliant or that they are working on being fully compliant or that at 3rd party tool will shortly be available that will ensure compliance. There seems to be a good deal of “looking the other way” going on. I have been on projects where 508 compliance was mandated but the software could not provide it, yet the grant had been spent and the software built, so it went live. Maybe I knew 508 better than those who were looking at it. I don’t know. There does not see to be a group of techies out there inspecting for compliance, although I have certainly heard of it. For things like blindness and screenreaders where non-compliance will be a nonsensical string of computer voice garbage, I would expect complaints.

The government is even aware of the difficulty to find a “508-ready” application, at times:

If products are commercially available that meet some but not all of the standards, the agency must procure the product that best meets the standards.

So… yeah. 508 is kinda loosey goosey in some ways.

W3C or WCAG compliance: a bit more difficult to meet in full, because “in full” has been defined as “in part” for practical purpuses. You have the option of meeting various levels of WCAG compliance. This is straightforward:

[Priority 1]

A Web content developer must satisfy this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it impossible to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint is a basic requirement for some groups to be able to use Web documents.

[Priority 2]

A Web content developer should satisfy this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it difficult to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will remove significant barriers to accessing Web documents.

[Priority 3]

A Web content developer may address this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it somewhat difficult to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will improve access to Web documents.

Yes, I have seen TWO projects (out of hundreds and hundreds) delievered at the Priority 3 level (or very very close). Generally, however, since time is money money is time and people get nervous when time and money are running short, Priority 1 is generally regarded as the Must Have. This of course, depends on the specific requirement and the specific audience. As with most things, it depends. That is a recurring theme for me lately… especially with the pure Agilists. Ack.

The interesting part, to me, is the last item on the WCAG Priority 1 list and a little blurb from their statement of purpose:

11.4 If, after best efforts, you cannot create an accessible page, provide a link to an alternative page that uses W3C technologies, is accessible, has equivalent information (or functionality), and is updated as often as the inaccessible (original) page.

The government also doesn’t want to sprain anything. See their statement of purpose for 508 compliance:

…The purpose of this part is to implement section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794d). Section 508 requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology, Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency…

Let’s tell those with disabilities about undue burdens, shall we?

• Since you will want them:

1. Here is a description of 508 Compliance and
2. Here is the latest description of WCAG (W3C) compliance (they are due for an overhaul, as the W3C last updated their requirements for complance about 9 years ago. A couple things have changed since then.   That is also part of the adoption problem, and why it is not something people generally lose sleep over, although I do think they should and that it is very important.
3. Here is a pretty neat piece of analysis by Jim Thatcher that puts each side by side, and then side by side again. Not sure how current his document is, but it is a good starting point at the very least. That is why I listed it last. I am hoping you read this and spend time here.

Any questions? Shoot me a note. We have a handy contact form for that. Have a project mandating compliance? We can help. Want to evaluate a product / service? We do that too.

Best,

Josh Milane
