Interested in becoming a Certified ScrumMaster? Come to my next workshop!
Hi all.
I found out late last night that a friend and personal mentor died in a motorcycle accident on Monday night. His name is Brian Lyons and more information about him can be found at the blog on their corporate site.� His family has setup a personal site for more information here.
While we have a lot of fun on this site, I also wanted to take a moment to let his family, friends, and co-workers know that we are thinking about them in this sad time.
One of the things Brian was known for saying (in his email signature and phone calls) was, “Hi Ho!”
This always brought a smile to my face.
He will be missed and hopefully this will bring a smile to your face when thinking of him.
Thank you Brian. I have learned much from you.

This only happens once (more if you are using multiple computers). Once you are in the system, everything is good to go after that.

Mike, this is Brian’s brother John. Brian died Monday evening rather than Sunday evening.

Hey guys, i really know how it is to suffer from a problem like this. I have been struggling from it since a few years with the usual ups and downs so i really know to have a illness like this. At a forum i found out some people were truly happy about a capsule they got of the internet and i ordered it when i found those pills at – herbalhealingstore dot com -. So believe me, these products do work, you just have to find the good ones!
