Reading about how f’d up the Washington Metro system. As an occasional rider, I have no major complaints. Trains come regularly. Clean, safe
Reading about how seriously screwed Sears is. Used to be a powerhouse. The A&P of department stores. A&P who? That’s the point.
Kristen Nicole will publish my #SparkSummitexpectations this week. Stay tuned to http://SiliconANGLE.com . Maturing but being eclipsed by AI
Nice being an industry analyst again. My dominant professional persona these past 20 years. Always chewing on biz-tech news of some sort.
Went to a vegetarian restaurant today. Not bad. Didn’t realize there are that many ways to make soybeans resemble other foodstuffs.
Early June. Something in me still wants to refer to this as Spring. Summer doesn’t technically begin for a few weeks. Technicalities matter!
“My tweets are my own.” Actually they’re a world resource. I bequeath them to all humanity for the benefit of future generations.
Heading to SF this week for #SparkSummit. Me & #Wikiboncolleagues are going to meet w/plenty of vendors. Deep research into what’s going on
Join me Tues June 20 1pm EDT on live Crowdchat: Fast Track Your Data http://www.via-cc.at/050bc #IBMML#Wikibon#SiliconANGLE

Bought & downloaded Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's 1968 "Nancy & Lee" LP. Odd songs & odd pairing of voices. Somehow it works beautifully
iTunes shows "new from your artists." Well, I don't manage any of them, but I'd be more than happy if they'd pay me a commission anyway.
"70-Year-Old Woman Discovers World's First Orange Alligator" (http://ow.ly/JKzZ30cfcvh ) JK--Wow! She can still see reptile colors at her age!
Beatles said "money can't buy U love," but, on Sgt Pepper LP, "fun is th one thing that money can't buy." Whither th scriptural discrepancy?
Listening “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” just as I’ve done these past 50 years: digitally. I’ve worn out the grooves in my MP3s.

Thanks Donald! The Earth just isn’t warm enough. You’ve done your part to make it more hellish. May you burn there.

"God 'Homo Deus' Could Replace Humans as Tech Evolves" (http://ow.ly/pkM730cdI2g ) JK--So what. Per Holy Bible, all humans are god.
Got interesting glimpse o Domino Data Lab (http://ow.ly/yTUn30cdHcj ). DevOps environment for data science teams working cloud-native projects
Not sure which liberal to support in the Virginia democratic gubernatorial primary: the one with the Southern accent or the one without.

Enjoyed raw peanuts at home. Found self singing “Found A Peanut” to tune of “Darling Clementine.” Got stuck on verse after “cracked it open”
Russians have "derogatory" information on Trump? That's not a state secret. His idiocy is common knowledge. Leak something we don't know.
Sad to watch LInkedIn Big Data discussion groups get taken over by zombies. Now "trending": "TOP TEEN INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND BEST ANSWERS"
