A blog site for Kimota94 (that's me) to use for topics that interest me. Those topics originally included: comic books, Major League Baseball, the music and genius of Peter Gabriel and Magnolia Electric Company, the odd work-related topic like Agile Project Delivery, and any other little thing that comes to mind on any given day. Lately, it's mostly been that last one!

As Someone Who Works In Software
I quite enjoyed this short article on Halo 2's creators slamming the quality of the product in no uncertain terms. I consider it refreshing to see that kind of brutal honesty since I know how much pressure there always is, in the software industry, to put a brave face on whatever gets released. I've often taken flak, in various jobs, for arguing that software isn't ready until it's ready, regardless of the date on the calendar - and product people, it turns out, don't really like that notion! I appreciate seeing others express the same frustration on such a high profile property.
Interesting....or else they are just afraid that everyone was so disappointed that no one will buy H3
