I've been publishing for IBM for a couple of years now, so I don't even blink when they feature an article of mine, but this
is really cool. Last summer, I took a trip to Austin Texas to sit in on a session of IBM engineers talking about their brand new Autonomic Computing initiative. I came home and proposed about 15 articles and tutorials and such. Or was it 25? I can't remember now. It's been such a long road to get here -- I didn't write all of the pieces, but I've been involved in most of them in one way or another -- but it's still cool to see my "vision" out there for people to see.
