Well, it has been almost three years with the maniac and now it’s time for a change. Actually, what has occurred is that some nice person told me, Matt, to Google the definition of maniac. So I did, and here’s what I found:
maniac (plural maniacs)
- An insane person, especially one who suffers from a mania.
- A fanatic, a person with an obsession.
At first glance, I thought — well, that works. But I quickly realized, maybe I am crazy, maybe I am a fanatic. Ok, I’m really not — at least I don’t have that perception of myself. In any case, I realized that maybe I should change this because, really I don’t prescribe to the heavily prescriptive approach to anything. I believe in visioning, informing, building, and realizing — I don’t care how I get there, I just happen to feel that Agile Development Methodologies or Agile Project Management is a great way to get there.
That brings us to bacon. Why bacon? Why not? I for one am a big fan of bacon, you can add it to anything and have it enhance the experience. Not to mention, I like to keep things simple and there’s not anything more simple than bacon. Not to mention, to steal from the Chicken & Pig metaphor — I think we are all pigs and we are all committed.
So without further ado, I introduce agilebacon.com. This blog is roughly the same as the old agilemaniac.com, except it is new and improved! I’ve already added some cool features including a Link Library, an embedded Glossary that will provide definitions in-line, and, of course, we have a new look and feel that provides much better readability than ever before.
Please let me know what you think! Comments are open below, my new Twitter handle is online – @agilebaconbeer, and I even broke down by creating a Facebook Agile Bacon page. Thanks again for coming by and giving me a read, and please visit often.
