Pretty true to life, except for two things:
1) The CIO apparently actually cares about EA?
2) The wife is WAY too hot for anyone doing EA. Come on. Really. Like Dagwood.
Other than these quibbles, I love the enterprise service bus and the times square java salesman. Hilarious.

More of what I'm thinking of BinB: WBI (a technical example)

Web Intermediaries -- but this all old stuff from before 2000. The point is clear, however: with standard protocols, intermediary processing can do incredible things.

Apparently it's also about translation

Betwixt and Between is the Queen’s University Research Forum in Translation and Cultural Encounter. As our name suggests, we explore translation both as a model for the uprooted, de-centred imagination, and as a practice that prompts us, as readers and writers, to look outwards from the heart of our own cultural matrix, to engage with conceptions of time and place that are different to our own.

They have a whole conference -- wow. I'll never get that big.

Wait a minute -- poet and blog the same?
Sounds like it is. Or was:
Betwixt and Between is the blog that explores the sense of confusion engendered in Gavin Stewart by trying to be a Father, a Poet, an Academic and an Artist in no particular order.
Farewell to Betwixt and Between
I have finally forced myself to admit that I have too many blogs. I have a regular blogging berth at nmrg and I have my occasional 'project blog' at Writings not for WIMPs. I enjoy blogging about my work life and research interests so I have decided to pour my blogging energy into these two. My personal life is well 'personal' (in so much as that word has any meaning in the era of facebook and google) and not really something I have enjoyed blogging about. So it is time to say farewell to this blog. It was a fun experiment while it lasted!
This will be the last post on this feed. If there are any more it will either be me being absent-minded or else it will be some kind of internet nuisance...either way you can be forgiven for ignoring it!

So, can I have it, G? Thanks. Actually, mine isn't named the same -- but too close for comfort.
And a poet too

I don't really know Gavin Stewart, but some of his poetry is about pleasurable pain. Quite a concept.

Another view, this time from Bartleby (online)
According to http://www.bartleby.com/68/32/832.html
Betwixt is an archaic or obsolescent preposition, except in the idiom and cliché betwixt and between, which means “neither the one thing nor the other,” “halfway between,” “in the middle,” “on the fence”: She simply couldn’t make up her mind, and so she hesitated there, caught betwixt and between.

And, finally, a French author weighs in ...
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betwixt_and_Between
Betwixt and Between (L'Envers et l'endroit, also translated as The Wrong Side and the Right Side, Collection, 1937) is a work of non-fiction by Albert Camus.
