Great New TBL Video!
There is a excellent new 12 minute video that succinctly captures TBL and why it is so powerful. If you are new to TBL, it should be the first 12 minutes you spend at this site. Share it widely, with your friends and colleagues.
Many congratulations to the University of Texas at Austin Team that put this together. As is often the case, good TBL things coming out of UT Austin have Michael Sweet in the middle.
