This is the story of John "Meeting Guy" Capello who has brought a new level of order to our lives.

He has taught us (for example) why wikis are not yet ready to replace spreadsheets, and how much it actually helps to communicate.

This is not without a fun set of growing pains though, so let's have a look...

<-- Meetings started with the west coast early and very "high-tech" thanks to "tech!"

^^^^^^^

NOTE: Pictures appear larger than they actually are.

Jackie, for example is only about 1/2 of this size.

While talking on the phone, it is sometimes hard to be understood. In the conversation depicted above (note: this is a dramatization), Ned is expressing a fondness for cross-platform development which Jackie has heard as "la-la-la cross-dressing la-la-la")...

Check-in Day

On Thursday, as the office was readying itself for the Tabblo-sponsored seder, we took some time to check in with the spreadsheet to see how we had fared.

Note: What follows may not be appropriate content for teenagers, foreigners (whew!, glad there are no more of those around), or folks in charge of feeding Eddie.

All is well that ends well.

Despite the added meetings and stress of being accountable to an evil spreadsheet overlord, the group seder was a good thing, and we all feel full of love, respect, and gefilte fish as we get ready to tackle the home-stretch.

Still, one never knows what lurks beneath -->
