WelcomeThe WINN Community is a place to come and talk online about Nordic Skiing.

That is Ok: this is a forum, gallery and blog site that is about you, the skiers of Wisconsin.

I had the good fortune to have a couple of my essays, aka axioms, included in the new book from O'Reilly, "97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know" . It has been about a month since this book project hit the bookstores, but the book is one of those...

So after the initial rush of indignation and anger I have done quite a bit of research and got the message from my son that no voting official told him that he would get a provisional ballot. He registered at a campus event, and nobody there would have...
