offshore analysis
"How Offshore Outsourcing Failed Us" gives a glimpse into some some of the issues with "offshoring" :
"What are my options if my highly productive, 15-person software team generates only one-third the output our customers demand? I was certain that augmenting our team with offshore development was the right answer. It wasn't, at least for a small project we recently outsourced to an Indian firm. "
although anecdotal and difficult to generalize to all cases, it's a good reminder that going overseas isn't always the right answer and when it is the right answer, it's more difficult to execute properly than you might imagine. i suspect after a year or so of the pendulum swinging in favor of offshoring, we'll see more failures reported and the system will moderate itself a bit more than it has of late.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
