Actually got some work done on the flight from Barcelona. Thanks to @paulhamerman for the spare laptop battery.
Actually have a decent enough airport Wi-Fi signal on an airplane that I just boarded, before the door closes. I don't take that for granted
Hanging with @phamerman near gate at Barcelona airport. He's using his cool new iPad with the flap that turns it on & boots ASAP. I envy

"Solar Flares Could Cripple Earth's Tech Infrastructure in 2013" (http://bit.ly/m6WVyF) JK--Dark side of "sunny day."
"Facebook: Fumbled Face Recognition Roll-Out" (http://bit.ly/mK38aX) JK--Fiasco. Doesnt work. My daughter: "Why does FB say U R Uncle Tom?"

"$1 Trillion in Revenue for Mobile Not Enough?" (http://bit.ly/jzyB2r) JK--Define "enough." Is double-digit percentage of world GDP enough?

@strukhoff Answer (which I've tweeted excessively): #Forrester IT Forum 2011 EMEA.
Couldn't help self. Had 2 walk Av Diagonal late afternoon. Perfect walking weather. Barcelona a vibrant community. Families students seniors
@donalddotfarmer That's why I'm your biggest groupie, Donald. Like me, you're a man whose unafraid of gettin' all pedantic in folks' faces.
Barcelona has Diagonal avenue & a Paral.lel street (with that curious infixed period). I'm searching for Perpendicular St & Curvilinear Blvd
Wore my best suit to present at #ITFE11. Fits me beautifully. Feels comfortable. Don't have many occasions to wear it. This was one.
Did my #CRM Next Best Action preso at #ITFE11. Now, packing up, catching up on Zs, and prepping to head home tomorrow. Been a good one.
@strukhoff I'm writing the screenplay for "Vicky Cristina Barcelona 2." Woody wanted somebody short, balding, & bespectacled.
Going down to #ITFE11. Catch me in the afternoon speaking on #CRM Next Best Action. And throughout the day in 1:1 sessions.
That's a wrap on those 5. Just had to get that all off my chest.

Dontcha just luv Facebook. Mention "anxiety" in a post & anxiety stalks U. Not only that: 4,814 like it! Thumbs up to gnawing sense of dread
Reducing complex stuff to lists makes them suddenly manageable. You can manage bounded list in your head much better than unbounded anxiety.
Facebook's supposedly creepy facial recognition feature didn't seem to recognize me tonight. Ineffectual doesn't rise to level of creepy.
@gcolony will re-present his App Internet perspective in the morning's keynote at #ITFE11. Curious if he'll expand on what said in Vegas.
Some say dreams are the brain processing the day's experiences. Sorta like the gut processing your food intake. Both can get disgusting.
Did a fairly fast-paced detailed 1:1 today on data governance best practices & how to proselytize the need for them in corporate world.
Not a big fiction reader. Last fiction writer who influenced me was Austrian existentialist Peter Handke. "Goalie's Anxiety at Penalty Kick"
People who don't focus on data full-time tend to treat it as raw material. People who do treat it as resource with shape, meaning, & impact
At one point tonight I absolutely had to steer conversation to Woody Allen "Vicky Cristina Barcelona." One subway stop is "Maria Cristina."
@TonyBaer Au contraire mon frere! I long for day when groupies will flock & ask for my autograph. I'll drive 'em away with Hadoop lecture
"Gagging on Tagging: Facebook Facial Recognition Creeps Out Privacy Partisans" (http://bit.ly/lBUpc0) JK--Automation is privacy foe? Wow!
@apearson What's even freakier is that the Mediterranean coast is far chillier than the interior of North America tonight.
Decided to simul-post this photo across all my socials. It's current (as of tonight) and non-jokey.
Wuz tellin' Claire Schooley how I push myself physically to exhaustion, to pave way for deep sleep. Like weightlifters work muscles to limit
"Apple plans new 'spaceship'-like campus" (http://bit.ly/klpQB5) JK--Fine....as long as you don't name it "Enterprise."
"Twitter's importance to SEO seen as growing" (http://bit.ly/iDPjwz) JK--Ya better believe it. Twitter optimized my search for own remarks
Big unanswered question is will I post at least one more Hadoop blog with question in title. Will I?
@paulhamerman knows his way around Barcelona. Didn't realize what an ideal party animal he is. Finds the perfect dining/drinking action.
Was a bit chilly in Barcelona tonight. Suited me fine (in my short pants & polo shirt). The brisk walk hither & yon built up core body temp.
@LisaKayHawes You know it. When I do double-entendres (which is quite often), I try to use a little bit of art to call that out.
Time twisting. On the road, I constantly toggle my laptop time between home vs. where I'm at to manage my schedule. Many of us do. Stressful
I wuz tellin' @passion4process that he'd be hardpressed to detect in my tweetstream any influence of any sort. Same mix, all states.
Listening to Jefferson Airplane "Lather" from "2400 Fulton Street." Wuz tellin' @kateleggett about my Grace Slick encounter, Detroit, Feb 81
@LisaKayHawes Didn't detect any sarcasm or even mild irony. As I wuz tellin' @passion4process , must calibrate irony-meter to Twitter-terse

My stay in Barcelona has been a continuous meditation on Castilian & Catalonian cognates. Two distinct languages, both "Spanish."
@LisaKayHawes I am totally into etymology. I've been a word geek far longer than a tech geek. Word roots are cultural fossils. Rich textures
My feel for yoga's results is a sure sense of balance, which is grounded in solid quads & core muscles. Even when I'm tired, they hold me up
Barcelona's subway system is efficient. Also, got good shocks. Didn't need to hold onto handles 2 keep self upright. Even after a few drinks
Listening to Tallest Man on Earth "King of Spain." Not listening 2 Prolapse "Government of Spain." Also not listening to Elton John "Daniel"
Surprised @passion4process didn't get my Barcelona reference (Manuel, "Fawlty Towers." waiter). Real Barcelona waiter we had was excellent!
As always, I lull myself gently to beddie-bye by playing the caterwauling art-rock of Pere Ubu full blast through very private earbuds.
Excellent Barcelona nightcrawl w/ #Forrester buds @paulhamerman @kateleggett @passion4process & Claire Schooley. FB friends: fotos a-coming!

The only country other than US that I've ever explored on vacation is Indonesia. We're going again next month. Plenty of family & friends
Caught same flight in, and shared a cab with #Forrester @paulhamerman . He showed me his vacation photos from trip across Spain. I envy.
Expect to meet with a Barcelona-based #BI vendor, #Quiterian, at ITF EMEA tomorrow.
Hotel Rey Juan Carlos has huge underground exercise center. I worked out there in 2003. Too busy to work out there now. But it's nice.
I'll be speaking on #CRM Next Best Action at #Forrester ITF EMEA, just as I did in Vegas. But I'm sure many 1:1s will be on Big Data #Hadoop
RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Sing by Travis from The Invisible Band JK--Grooved on inflight musical selections, incl. Carpenters "Sing." Diff song
Thunderstorm in Barcelona. I'm just catching up on email in my hotel room. And on Twitter too, obviously. And writing/revising several docs.

Yes, right now I am technically "abroad." It's called that because the space-time continuum outside the United States is broader & deeper.
Every year when I'm abroad at #Forrester IT Forum EMEA, #KEXP has pledge drive & Cheryl & @loserboy totally lose it. Very entertaining.
OK, tweetbots who are following me. Don't simply emit sequential stream of tweets with form "tweet[sequence number]". Too predictable.
It's been 8 years since I've been to Barcelona. Last time was Burton Group Catalyst EMEA in Oct 2003. Same hotel. I'm a different cat now.
Noticed that the people of Barcelona smoke up a storm. I had to eat outdoors to keep lungs clear. Sensitive to secondhand smoke.
Ate relaxing dinner in Barcelona at Cafe Bugui on Av. Diagonal. Pizza with Cabernet Sauvignon from Navarra. Chilled in rain under overhang.
Walked down into central Barcelona early this afternoon. Heat & humidity almost wore me out. It broke late afternoon. Evening stroll cooler
For me, best part of in-flight entertainment is the endless reboot sequence with that cute li'l Linux penguin sitting there doing nothing

Yoga's traditionally about slowing & stretching. Business travel is often about speeding & cramping. Takes some discipline to push against

It's almost as if Sarah Palin is doing a Sarah Palin parody these days. Is Tina Fey a ventriloquist controlling her mouth thru black magic?
"Sarah Palin On Paul Revere Ride" (http://huff.to/mtT6rd) JK--She doesn't even qualify to sit on a school board, much less in Oval Office.
OSI model. It spoiled me to always expect functional service layers. IETF. It spoiled me to always expect open standards for important stuff
Taking a break from this multiverse book to search for info on what the hell a Calabi-Yau shape really is. Greene doesn't define.
Check out my comprehensive cloud analytics maturity model from late 2009 for a high-level roadmap for #Hadoop in the larger context.
#Hadoop reference framework: The modeling layer is incomplete with only MapReduce, which is not suited to sophisticated matrix manipulations
Suggested #Hadoop functional layering: storage, schema, metadata, modeling, and integration. Each layer only partially specified so far.
Not a bad summery day lazily walking down the road. Have an urge to whistle the "Andy Griffith Show" theme, but I'll restrain myself.

Parallel universes. Call them the "space-time discontinuum" to flag the key tenet: you can't get there from here.
#Hadoop siloes. So if U, for example, write Java that uses proprietary real-time features in vdr A's distro, must rewrite 2 work w/ vdr B's
No. Voice was her true instrument. Most percussive duties on Carpenters songs were outsourced to best session players Richard could hire.
30 years since Karen Carpenter died. Not sure if I ever posted my poem about her. She drummed too.
A large percentage of songs on radio are info blanks to me. Even the ones I like. Oh, that's Kelly Clarkson. Oh, it's called "Already Gone"
Many crossword and other word puzzle books on newsstand. I find these tedious. I always prefer to wrangle my own phrases, not find others'
Magazine keepsakes? Commemorative editions. Several on William & Kate. One on Civil War. One on killing of OBL. One on JP2 beatification.

Of course not. "Friendly Giant" was purely Canadian. I watched it on CKLW-TV Channel 9 from Windsor.

All You Need Is Love - the Beatles live broadcast in 1967 (http://youtu.be/hi9KSTO259A)
Beatles. Shakespeare skit. British TV, 1964 (http://youtu.be/DOpEZM6OEvI). Yes, the real Beatles.
Chez Hélène - Les Choux Magiques - CBC (http://youtu.be/BQHK4Qi9KCU). I watched this bilingual show. Had a crush on the young woman.
"Friendly Giant" was so hypnotically beautiful & lulling that I would still watch it as teenager. I sat transfixed. Like "Goodnight Moon"
I grew up in Detroit area, with full access 2 Canadian TV. This is "The Friendly Giant" on TV (http://youtu.be/WV2P6P4p6Hg). Still beautiful
Captain Kangaroo opening sequence from early 1960s (http://youtu.be/q3w7w58CREY). This is burned into my very earliest memories.

Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth speaks about David Thomas & Pere Ubu (http://youtu.be/pHJjZoRKXMg).
David is hitting on the core of how I always perceived Ubu. They sculpted weird soundscapes that you roll around in your head.
David Thomas interviewed about Pere Ubu (http://youtu.be/_UQsqFiyw9k). This artist is a pure poet.
David Thomas & The Pedestrians "Petrified" live 1982 (http://youtu.be/dfenUUQ4jYc). Captures how intensely thrilling a performer he is.
Listening to Pere Ubu "Big Ed's Used Farms" from "Song of the Bailing Man" (http://youtu.be/319r3HLIqWw). Awesomely cartoonish & manic

"Quantum mechanics rule 'bent' in classic experiment" (http://bbc.in/lr83o9) JK--Nope. Still can't measure position & momentum of particle
Defensiveness. The #Hadoop anti-standards ethos will exacerbate the silo-fication of this codebase. Every vendor forks & siloes it further.

Open source processes focus on the startgame: gaining acceptance. Standards processes focus on endgame: ensuring interoperability.

Keeping my on-the-floor schedule at #Hadoop summit open so I can exploit the magic of serendipitous peregrination. Grab me. Surprise me.
Listened 2 great NPR podcast w/ guest DJ Brian Eno. Grew up in English small town near 2 large US airbases. Influence: coffeebar jukeboxes
Another thing I'll be focusing on at #Hadoop summit is who offers best IDEs for MapReduce and Pig.
One of key things I'll be looking for at #Hadoop summit is whether startups have big partners who can get them into big deals.
LP track order sometimes dilutes impact of later cuts. I like to apply shuffle feature to freshen. It worked on Devendra Banhart's latest.
