books he has written. He continues to teach project management, software development,
creative thinking, and product design as an independent consultant.
Visit www.scottberkun.com for discussion forums on topics in this book, dozens of other
essays, and information on how you can help him fill that shelf (telling others about this
book is an excellent place to start). This is his first published book. He lives somewhere in
the woods east of Seattle.
