Steve Flynn writes a great book about how America's in dire need of infrastructure upgrades WRT civil defense and disaster response.
Steve DeAngelis invents himself an enterprise resilience maturity model approved by Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute (where he's a visiting scientist), gets himself a fistful of patents for the associated technology, and signs a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with Oak Ridge National Lab (where he's also a visiting scientist) to turn their famous SensorNet into the next-generation ResilienceNet, profiled in Esquire's December "Best & Brightest" issue.
And yeah, Steve's working on a book of his own.
Cool to diagnose.
Cooler to fix.
And yes, that's why I'm with Enterra and not some think tank.
