Personal perspectives are perhaps not very suitable for the "official 
blog" (but may be), anyway engineering reports are being published 
regularly since a while and they're a very good way to know what's going 
on at least in the technology department, without having to read MiB of 
text.

The other departments are more obscure. :-)
