Agile Life

I think an appropriate way to start off is to introduce myself.  My name is Tony Galluscio.  I’m from Indialantic, Florida. I’m married and have four children ages nine to fifteen.  I commute to DC where I work for Harris Corporation as a technical manager with a focus on Agile projects.  For more information you can see my bio at http://www.scrumalliance.org/profiles/23148-tony-galluscio.

My work interests involve open source software, healthcare interoperability, network communications and protocols, artificial intelligence, and Agile project management methodologies.

My personal interests include family, faith, fishing, 4×4 trucks, and reading. I am an avid reader. In fact, I was an early adopter of the Kindle 1 and just today I purchased a 2 gig SD card ($12, can you believe it?) because I filled up my kindle with books. Right now I’m reading a couple of different books including Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson and The Hidden Pattern, A Patternist Philosophy of the Mind by Ben Goertzel.   I’m reading The Hidden Pattern in preparation for attending the Artificial General Intelligence conference in Switzerland in March.

Among the excellent advice I have received from Danese Cooper, the Open Source Diva (http://danesecooper.blogs.com/) ,  was a suggestion that I start a blog.  My intent here is to blog about subjects that have meaning to me. I’ll try to keep it short and stay on topic.   The opinions and musings in this blog are mine and mine alone. I don’t speak here for anyone but me.

I’m hoping this will be an excellent adventure. Let the blogging begin!
