About the Book

This anthology from the Tetradian weblog highlights a range of themes beyond my usual domain of architectures and the like, with an emphasis here on personal and work-related experiences.

The book includes about 35 posts and 50 images, and is split into three sections:

  • Write: Personal experiences - about various experiences in a more personal context, such as increasing age, and work projects from many years ago.
  • Write: Eulogy - brief pieces commemorating friends, colleagues and others who are no longer with us.
  • Write: Work experiences - various experiences in a work-context - particularly about my ongoing challenges with the enterprise-architecture community as a whole.
