I just finished reading a brief interview that Terry Slattery did with Train Signal Training on Cisco Certifications, Careers, Training and More (link to the interview).
As usual, I find Terry's comments and advice are worth reviewing. He discusses the value of certifications as well as changes in the certification process in the networking industry. He touches on various types of training and training resources, and talks a bit more about CCIE, CCDE, and the new CCA options from Cisco.

A couple of folks have asked me questions about adding an RSS feed to their email, so I wrote up some simple instructions for two email clients, Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Firefox. (Adding this RSS feed will send an message to you when a new article or page is posted.) In addition to the article, I have a video screen capture of the Firefox process at the bottom of the article...

I've done some articles for the CCIE Flyer, run by Emmanuel Conde. I thought it might be useful to provide you these links in case you want to review them.

In the middle of a deployment, Jim Marinelli and
I discovered a small surprise (to us, anyway). Recent SXH or SXI code, possibly VSS in the mix. (I'd like to have narrowed it down further for you, but there's been no time to do testing of various variations.)

As I prepare for another quixotic attempt at the CCDE practical, I have collected a set of test taking tips.
These tips are based on talking to exam administrators, reading all the materials, studying the demo tests, and mostly, attending the preparation session given at this year's Networkers. Of course, I have not yet passed this test, so you can take my tips with a grain of salt. Your own mileage may vary.

I wanted to provide a few notes on BGP route selection criteria, specifically on weights and local preference. First a quick recap. The weight attribute is only local to a single router. This value is not propagated by the BGP protocol to other routers, so can be considered a routing policy local to the router. However, local preference is assigned to a route as an attribute.
