Nothing much in the news today. Nothing much except crises all over the world, it seems. Funny how one tends to absorb those into the noise.

Shrugging is the most powerful response to stressful events. Shrug it off, where "it" is the events, the stress, and the moment. All passes.

Sanity lies in knowing precisely how little power you truly have. And how powerful you truly are.

Mitt Romney strangely in vogue among 2016 Repub presidential hopefuls. Because GOP needs help alienating 47% of electorate right off the bat

A5: Ppl focusing on cost of visit, ability to visit all those sensors as issues for sensor update #IoTChat
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A5: Once devices are released will be a huge challenge to update them from security standpoint, must be done correctly pre-launch. #IoTChat
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A5: Key concerns for updating: having devices crash when they update, since the cost of visit exceeds replacement. #IoTChat#sustainability
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

#iotchat A5 most things will need certified & secure update from cloud process, but some will need "insert certified silicon here" updates.
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

Q5A- should you be able to update remote devices, or prevent it for security reasons? #iotchat
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A5: #IoTChat Another key concern for updating disparate devices is managing disparate connectivity scenarios. Always-on vs. rarely connected

A5: #IoTChat Key concern for updating disparate devices is infrastructure for device config mgt and provisioning.

#iotchat A4 Proprietary standards and DB's won't go away, but we can smooth that by creating "IoTXML" or "M2MXml"
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A4: #IoTChat Should be addressing through open-source connector/adapter libraries and registries for disparate IoT data formats

A4: #IoTChat Should be addressing through domain-specific data standards for each IoT solution area: smartphone, smart car, healthcare, etc.

A4: #IoTChat Shold be addressing through open IoT standards for interchange and semantics.

A3: Data integrity. Value of sensor data is often in the aggregate upstream. #IoTChat
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

Twitter's not cooperating with #IoTChatright now.Twitter more or less ground to a halt several minutes ago. Little is getting through/

A3: #IoTChat Encrypt data everywhere all the time, on device, in transmission, in cloud. Apply trusted geo-time-stamps to facil correlation

A3: #IoTChat Keep only as much data on device as needed for immediate local display, analysis, & transmission...then replicate2cloud & purge

A2: #IoTChat Fast-move device may serve fasmove user (eg airplane pilot) w/short decis latency (right angle of landing?): can it keep pace?

#iotchat A2 We have to be cognizant of imminent handoffs and crossovers as devices transit between networks.
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

Fast moving #IoT devices must have local store and synch capability as not all data transmitted will be in real time. #iotchat
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A2: Security and privacy vulnerabilities comprimised to save time and authentication speed are considerations for such devices #IoTChat
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A2: #IoTChat If device moving fast & is involved in real-time app that needs speedy data transmission, is closed-loop latency too lengthy?

A2: #IoTChat If device itself is moving fast, real-time geolocation & -fencing may be more difficult. Where's it at AT THIS VERY SECOND?

A2: #IoTChat If the device itself moves fast, make sure it's still in range of network. If data moves fast, make sure bandwidth sufficient

A1: #IoTChat take a connected vehicle, e.g., process data and analytics locally, one gateway, many sensors
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A1: #IoTChat Edge devices generally highly vulnerable & easily lost/stolen. Device data is quite exposed. Need ability to remotely wipe

A1: #IoTChat Fresh data on the #IoT edge generally persisted briefly on device & replicated up 2 cloud, replaced by newer data, & on and on.

A1: #IoTChat What needs changing on #IoT edge is assumption data needs storage there. Devices collect+process. Better to store on cloud

#IoTChat@Cisco_IoT I'm James Kobielus, #IBM#BigData Evangelist and all-purpose tech tweetchatter. Glad to be pummeling my brain again

Just completed 1st of 2 #IoTChattweetchats for today. I've never done 2 on same day. Let's see how much my poor battered cranium can take.

#IoTChat It's been my pleasure. Catch me on the 2pm (eastern) chat with @Cisco_IoT as well.

A8: #IoTChatVarious/hetero "Internet(S) of Things" will interconnect as need, when app domains intersect--eg smarthome/smartcar/smartphone

A7 the Interaction of things is probably biggest complexity to solve with #IoT. Need true data/info interchange stds or will fail #iotchat
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A7: #IoTChat most complex: grab-bag of choices and standards, most complex/important: security and privacy design

A7: #IoTChat Security will be never-ending tangle of #IoT complexities: webs o trust, multifactor authent, federated permissioning, etc

A7: #IoTChat Another big complexity for #IoT will be config tracking, management, and standardization of myriad heterogeneous endpoints

A7: #IoTChat Biggest #IoT complexities will arise in #bigdata: staggering variety of machine-data formats/semantics to aggregate & analyze.

A6: I have to mention MQTT as an awesome lightweight message oriented protocol #IoTChat
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A6: #IoTChat One reason why #IoT standards'll fall flat: IoT domains (smartphones, smarthomes, smartcars,smarthealth, etc.) often app siloes

A6: #IoTChat IoT regulation is sure to come all over world. Privacy protection will be the ongoing preoccupation. Keeping NSA et al at bay

A6: #IoTChat There'll be wave after wave o industry attempts 2 standardize IoT interfaces. But wave after wave of IoT innovators will ignore

A5: I expect #FTC in US to drive #Privacy Bill of Rights in advance of proliferation of #IoT. EU will be aggressive as well. #IoTChat

A5: #IoTChat Svcs such as iCloud "find my phone" will evolve into "find my watch & other #IoTendpoints." Folks will let privacy guard down

A5: #IoTChatPrivacy/security nightmares will proliferate at unsecured endpoints, which will be MOST OF THEM..in the first generation IoT.

 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A4 - Intelligent aggregation and compression will be key #IoTChat (via @thinkovation)
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A4: #IoTChat More proc on edge will enable evolution of some "edge" points into local gateways--eg. one smart home may GW 4 paying neighbors

A4: #IoTChat More processing on #IoT edges will be surpassed by more proc in proxies & data ctrs. Will need more IoT bw & storage everywhere

A3: #IoTChat#IoT needs hyper-distrib storage & dbs: edges, proxies, clouds, federation. Robust, replicated, secure, scalable, HA, fast

A3 Embedded db on the edge that handles all data types can marry legacy db transactions with new, unstructured data #IoTChat#IBM_Informix
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A3: #IoTChat Embedded resource-constrained #IoTendpoint dbs will be essential for local storage & analysis, w/ background sync to cloud DBs

A3: #IoTChat Hybrid multi-tier db architectures needed--eg.. #NoSQL cloud DBs for collection, streaming DBs for ingest, #Hadoop 4 analysis

A2: #IoTChat#IoT data storage in the cloud will place heavy emphasis on #NoSQL. Eventual consistency will be fine for most IoT apps.

A2: We must keep #securityin mind and view #IoTdevices as tools to limit vulnerabilities rather than liabilities #IoTChat
 Retweeted by jameskobielus

A2: #IoTChat#IoT devices will have varying degrees of local storage, but almost all will replicate all or most local data to the cloud.

A2: #IoTChat Capturing data from and delivering data to #IoT devices will need sophisticated new distributed-caching overlays in the cloud.

A2: #IoTChat Data mgt for #IoT will need to focus on hyper-scale (exabyte) in the cloud, with real-time lo-latency ingest & analysis

A1: #IoTChat Revenues from #IoT will also primarily come from content targeting, transaction processing, value-add tools, & cloud services

A1: #IoTChat If we accept hyper-commoditization as eventually squelching profit margins on IoT endpoint & infra solutions, rev opp'y is apps

A1: #IoTChat The core revenue-generating opportunities of IoT are smart gadgets, smart cars, smart homes, etc.---the vast consumer market

A1: #IoTChat Real IoT opportunity is #SmarterPlanet: embed intelligence, instrumentation, & interconnection everywhere. 24x7 optimization

Nobody’s going to miss Radio Shack. I still miss Borders.

The point of social media is not to tell others how you’re doing but to remind yourself how you’re doing. You share to make yourself aware.

People at the fitness club who jump onto an elliptical for maybe 10 minutes tops and imagine they’re getting good cardio workout. Lazybones

Stepping down & up from your current job, and partitioning it among rivals, is not stepping down. It’s wrapping oneself more tightly around.

Monocles. Did peoples’s vision improve from the lens or from squinting to keep the stupid thing on their face?

"#IBM& MSFT 2 Offer Greater Choice in Hybrid Cloud" (http://ow.ly/DbgOd ) JK--Key solutions 2 B available on each other's public clouds

A7: #makedataworkStreamlining access to data-driven insights needs a cognitive-computing fabric to guide your explorations--e.g., #Watson

A7: #makedataworkStreamlining access to clean/relevant data also involves giving users access to powerful data-discovery tools.

A7: #makedataworkStreamlining access to refined/relevant data should involve convergence onto a strategic cloud #datarefineryplatform.

A6: #makedataworkIT focuses on setting policies around data sourcing, security. governance, and access in self-svc cloud-analytics era

A6: #makedataworkIT's role shifts toward providing ctr of excellence to help business analysts collab with data scientists on biz problems

A6: #makedataworkIn era of self-svc data access, analytics, DW, & refinement, IT's role becomes implement/admin foundation cloud platform

A5 application integration too - need to plug refinery services into apps and biz processes #makedatawork
jameskobielus retweeted

A5 We've focused on access to the data. Now it needs to be governed--quality controls, privacy, etc. #makedatawork

A5 machine learning - refineries should learn and get smarter as biz people use data #makedatawork
jameskobielus retweeted

A5: #makedataworkData cant be clean if stewardship absent. #Datarefinery must enforce cleansing/enhance policies defined by data stewards

A5: #makedataworkData can't be accessible to all if #datarefinerylayer doesn't delivery it downstream. Landing/staging must be transient

A5: #makedataworkData not relevant without context. Hence, metadata needs to be refined for downstream delivery & contextual insights
0 replies 1 retweet 0 favorites

A4: #makedataworkAgile #datarefineryalso needs to orchestrate complex workflows between/among sources and downstream data apps/platforms

A4: #makedatawork#Datarefinery for #bigdata needs connectors into structured & unstruct sources + support for batch & real-time latencies

A4: #makedatawork#Datarefinery core capabilities include integration with sources, archives, data warehouses, & downstream analytic apps

A4: #makedataworkCritical capabs for #datarefinery: acquire, extract, aggregate, profile,transform, match, merge, cleanse, enhance, load

A3 important 2 think about refinery from pov of biz user - it's about getting data & automatic refinement #makedatawork

A3: #makedataworkRefining is process that happens every step o way 2 insight/action. #Datarefinery is where it happens 1st & in high-volume

A3 and on development PaaS so developers build data-ready apps - stop the problem at the source #makedatawork

A3: #makedatawork#DataRefinery fits into enteprise data architecture in data acquisition, landing, staging, preprocessing, cleaning tier

RT @DCorrigan: A2: A refinery definitely adds value - relevant data in biz users hands. #makedatawork

RT @rwang0: A2 MyPOV: think of #datarefinery as the Brita Filter for your #datalake#makedatawork

A2: #makedataworkData refinement is no gimmick: it's the core of every data integration/cleansing tool/job. Acquire, land, stage, transform

A2: #makedataworkMany terms in big-data lexicon metaphors: warehouse, mart, etc. "Refinery" alludes to distill of value from data reservoir

A1 I think it's about augmenting systems with new additions like a data lake to land and understand all data #makedatawork
jameskobielus retweeted

MyPOV: on Q1 the big issues is to make sure your #datalake does not turn into a #dataswamp#makedatawork

A1 those new systems like a data lake create new needs - like taking raw data & refining it b4 sharing with existing systems #makedatawork
jameskobielus retweeted

A1: #makedataworkIf you associate reservoir w/ specific optimized platforms, eg Hadoop, then it's clear that they're not for all use cases

A1: #makedataworkIMHO, metaphor "reservoir" makes more sense than "lake." Big data is resource to be held in reserve and tapped when needed

A1: #makedatawork A data lake/reservoir is primarily for data explore and/or refinement. Trad'l platforms play other roles (hub, mart, etc.)

A1: #makedataworkParadigms don't replace plaforms. Only better platforms can. Data "lake"/"reservoir" platforms supplement, don't replace

Concertgoing in 2014 is a different experience from 1979. I didn’t have smartphone at Bookies in Detroitto check Wikipedia on Richard Hell

It’s weird when somebody of my kids generation tells me their primary love is music of my generation. I’m sick of music on my generation

Glad I got all my drinking done. Numbs the nuisance of waiting for No Doubt to take the stage at #ibminsight. Come out, already!

I think tie pins would make the perfect wearable for men who want to record video and audio and the environment around them continuously.

Wearables to monitor heart rate is like 1980s PC spreadsheets to balance your checking account and manage recipes. Unnecessary use cases.

Wearables to measure heart rate and blood pressure? I don’t need that. Not hard to sense when that stuff spikes. Cool and control it all.

I liked how last night’s Chris Rock/Prince SNL had enough African-American performers for all-black sketches. Wish the writing were better

People say CrystalCity has no soul. It's not true. I once worked here for a few years. Its soul is knowledge workers exerting selves to max

Morning's speakers spent more time than necessary defining #bigdata. Mine will be the soul of brevity.

Good. I’ve tricked a lot of people into reading one of my original poems. I get my jollies.

Does anybody have a clue what Jimmy Fallon & Bradley Cooper were laughing about last night on the Tonight Show? Or were they simply stoned?

Just glanced at a Twitter analytics breakdown of engagement rates of each of my tweets over the past month. Amazingly useless intelligence.

Just as the day after Xmas is Boxing Day, the day after Thanksgiving is Unboxing Day. It's the day we moved into this house, 23 years ago.

Relistening to my copy of my favorite LP of 2014: Ty Segall "Manipulator." 17 songs, and all of them are dynamite rock 'n' roll.

Dear Pro Masseuses: If you want a good tip, refrain from introducing phrase "I hope you leave a good tip" into the shake...I mean rub...down

Bloomberg TV show says robots have 2 parts: sensors & actuators. Actually, so do “things.” Internet of robots?

I am not interested in new gadgets for Xmas. Socks, ties, dress shoes, and a nice business suit sound fine. I’m old & boring.

For a quick glance at the buzz of the moment, I still come back to Twitter. No other medium serves this purpose quite as well.

Charm offensive. If it’s truly charming, it’s not offensive in the slightest. Disarms defenses.

Black Friday. Actually, it’s daytime and there’s a little sun & blue in the cracks of the clouds. Avoiding the crowds. Going to the masseuse

Fall is officially over. By that I mean all the leaves have fallen from the trees in our yard. Winter is here in all its arboreal nakedness

Thanksgiving. Odd that the UShas a holiday that, among its meanings, represents the starting gun in prep for another holiday a month later

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Second largest source of helium in our solar system after the Sun. You can look it up (at this tweet).
