Second thing I do on overnight biz trips is repack my bags promptly, laying out everything to dress & run out the door next morning.
Took new tack when I checked into this hotel room. First, I familiarized w/all bathroom fixtures & TV controls & arranged place to my prefs
Speaking tomorrow to the Online Publishers Association Technical Committee on apps of #BigData. Time-Life Bldg.
Keeping hotel room video on CNBC documentary on Herr's PA Mennonite potato chip company. Audio on @deejayChilly El Sonido #KEXP spicy Latino
@metabrown312 A bit of me educating them so that they could put themselves closer to taking action.
Watching a Bill Maher show with conservatives arguing effectively and Maher respectfully letting them speak & not interrupting.
Americans have to get over notion it's any stranger for Will Ferrell to do a movie in Spanish than Gael Garcia Bernal in English.
Free copy of New York Post? Wowee. I enjoy being spoonfed the informational equivalent of Dippin' Dots. Aimed at doddering dips.
RT @jperlow: Ok, the thought of Santorum and Romney doing Jaeger shots and flashing their breasts makes me ill http://bit.ly/FRASTF
I suspect George Romney dubbed his eldest "Mitt" to honor Michigan's Lower Peninsula. We 'ganders brainwashed the Mormon auto exec damn good
@metabrown312 They were totally shocked, flabbergasted, & gobsmacked by the sheer idiocy of my definition. No, actually, they agreed.
The one thing I use AOL Instant Messenger's client for is to test whether I'm getting bandwidth. Was it designed for something else?
Best to eat fastfood standing up. Gravity helps you metabolize grease, according to a leading industry analyst. Not saying which industry.
Amazing how often the slapped-together clues hit the bullseye.
I'm the friend of every desperate biz/tech reporter. I know what it's like 2 scrounge a clue or two in a totally ad-hoc duel with a deadline
Interviewed by Jeremy Quittner of American Banker re upcoming in-memory analytics client announcement
Thank you aweekstweets for saving my analytical tail & helping me quickly find something I mentioned ages ago. Late February.
Losing my edge. Only being mentioned today by Twitter spambots. Who fail to appreciate my wit & nuance

The Gist "Clean Bridges" (http://youtu.be/TzFJLjJJJ5k) JK--Gist and bottom line is to always keep bridges clean, obstruction-free, & 2-way
RT @kexpplaylist #kexp With a Little Help From My Friends by The Beatles from SPLHCB JK--Ringo, like Charlie of Stones, stayed friends w/all
My older bro & his wife now doing yoga, as are me & mine. Helps us control naturally nervous system that comes with being a Kobielus
RT @kexpplaylist #kexp The Passenger by Iggy Pop from Lust for Life JK--Ralph Brown & I once hoisted Iggy in concert. He was our passenger
Ah yes, defoliating a victory garden sure works up an appetite! Oh...caught myself in another Firesign Theatre catchphrase.
Love "Always See Your Face" (http://youtu.be/OkWVrLfiJKs) JK--Late 60s artist was left history by turn of 70s. But left beautiful impression
13th Floor Elevators "You're Gonna Miss Me" (http://youtu.be/0OytJYBfwUk) JK--Hey Roky don't flatter yrself. U were forgotten by turn of 70s
Best to give yr wealth away while you're still breathing & of sound mind. Watch others pick your bones. Gauge how much they'll truly miss U
RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Birth, School, Work, Death by The Godfathers from JK--Brilliant analysis of the fundamentals.
"Data silos in big data analytics: Now you see them, now you don't?" (http://bit.ly/FPEi6E) JK--Collapse 'em through EDW best practices
RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Alive by Pearl Jam from Ten JK--The grunge equivalent of "I Will Survive." Eddie is very much still belting 'em out!
A lazy industry analyst is one who simply comments on vendor actions, announcmts releases etc. First & foremost, gotta have user-centric POV
"Is Google Facing the Beginning of the End?" (http://bit.ly/xipOO4) JK--Philosophical hairsplitting. Conception is beginning of the end.
"The Day Print Died" (http://bit.ly/FRXdNE) JK--Premature obituary. My printers die every few years. But my paper appetite is insatiable.
Can't stand those energy drinks. They don't actually give me energy. What they do is turn my stomach & make me drink more water. As I should
RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Harvest Moon by Neil Young frm Harvest Moon JK--The man does pretty & heartfelt as well as he does bluntforce jamming
I was out of the office all last week. I didn't realize how many emails can pile up when I'm actually doing work.
"Futurist." Yeah, that's the ticket. Try to convince people that my cranium is just a crystal ball covered with hair. I'm crystal balding.
Apple & their humongous cash pile. Company long noteworthy for organic internal R&D. Not a big acquirer, as tech vendors go.
RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Perfect Day by Lou Reed from Transformer JK--Lou, who plumbed NYC fetid underbelly, almost sounds innocent here.
RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Blowin in the Wind by Bob Dylan from The Freewheelin' BD JK--How many roads did Bob walk down w/Suze to become a man?

RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Zooropa by U2 from Zooropa JK--LP where Irish stadium rockers dabble in electronica then switch back 2 guitar anthems

Life is flow. Just scoop your hands and grab what you can as the river rushes by you.
RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Let Down by Radiohead from OK Computer JK--My desert island disc from all their LPs.
Another early morning customer inquiry where they want me to summarize trends in analytics before my first sip of caffeine.
Politicians often speak of deadwood bureaucrats. BTW, have you ever noticed how many deadwood politicians there are?
Somehow I doubt that one of my fave #KEXP DJs cares whether peeps are posting terrible things about me. As she knows, only the music matters
Rightwing chastises "Hollywood liberals" most vehemently when leftwing actors getting more press than the 10 zillion Hollywood conservatives
VH-1. "Mob Wives" are cooking & scowling. Should outsource the cooking 2 Giada so that they can focus on the scowling, which they do so well
Doing quick NYC trip on Tues: vendor event in a.m., speech elsewhere in afternoon. I like the occasional in-out.
Anchorage had a snowier winter than usual. The contiguous US had a mild one. North America's a big place.
Among chefs on Food Network, Giada is the most expressive on mute. Very Italian use of face & hands. And she's stunning to boot.
Partied with Egidia and her teacher colleagues again last night. Pleasure to not have to talk or think my own biz socially.
I consult MapQuest far less now that we got GPS. I do in fact trust TomTom well enough & don't sweat its occasional hiccups.
In my career, I have watched every hot new tech I've covered progress along the maturity curve toward boring oldschool plumbing. Worlds turn
Still not doing TV that's streaming, social, on-demand, or interactive, and still not feeling like I'm missing anything special.
Where might ye be going with that sack of potatoes?
The snakes that Padraig ostensibly drove out of Eire. Payback for the Garden of Eden brouhaha? First wave of the Irish diaspora? Blarney?
O'ItsStPatricksDay!

Expect vendors to promote #BigData IDEs as key tools for building, deploying, & optimizing models, functs, & apps across diverse appliances
Expect exasper8d customers 2 throw up their hands & scream at #BigData vdrs 2 clarify & distinguish use cases 4 this menagerie of appliances
Expect vendors to introduce diverse analytic appliances--EDW, in-mem, columnar, #Hadoop, key-val, graph, etc--under catch-all " #BigData "
