"Scientists Split Atom, Then Put It Back Together" (http://bit.ly/NAwQUG) JK--Think of it as double-slit for larger object than photon.
"10 tech giants lead Internet land grab" (http://bit.ly/NAvKbq) JK--Rush to grab all the cool TLDs.
"The next consumerization revolution: Your personal data" (http://bit.ly/NAv31X) JK--Coin of the realm. Your new currency. Bank it.
"How ComScore Is Using #Hadoop to Tame Its #BigData Flow" (http://bit.ly/NAtDo7) JK--Another piece citing my prior-life work.
Another speaker at #HadoopSummit noted that log data, formerly regarded as a junk data, is now golden, because we can mine for patterns.
When my wife saw what was fetched for an Apple 1 at auction, she wished she had bought one new. Only time she's ever coveted a computer.
Pleasant morning. Cool night. Kept the windows open. Great sleeping weather. Solstice approacheth.
Starting to get used to the Android look-and-feel. Harmonizing my settings between smartphone & tablet.
RT @jowyang "Is it ok to airbrush your profile pic?" (http://blogs.smartmoney.com/paydirt/2012/06/14/does-it-pay-to-airbrush-your-profile-photo/) JK--Sure. Cheaper than work & waxing. Less painful too
RUTH BUZZI @Ruth_A_Buzzi My ex was a real loser. He was very innovative, though. Like the time he told the Parole Officer his meth scabs were just the stigmata.
Experience optimization. Truest way 2 ensure is let subject feedforward responses inline within closed-loop session, shaping it in realtime
Experience optimization. I was fascinated by PayPal discussion of digital clickstream experience graph at #HadoopSummit.
Experience optimization. I remain skeptical of notion that U can optimize something U can't objectively measure. Experience is mental state
Restaurants should have ideational tables where napkins are letter size and ruled. People always sketching best ideas on napkins.
Father's Day coming up. I'm expecting cologne, cufflinks, neckties, Old Spice, Cuban cigars, the works. BTW, all that stuff makes me sick.
The wife loves the plush #Hadoop elephant courtesy of #Hortonworks from the #HadoopSummit. Glad I took two. Daughter'd be jealous otherwise
Another week on the socials. Another week of my pondering the immortal question: Whose birthdays truly matter?
Still thinking about Geoffrey Moore keynote at #HadoopSummit. He laid out next best action principles 4 continuous optzn thru #BigData
Still learning the limits of my Android phone. Shouldn't try to load all my Twitter friends to db. Not enough storage cap
Movies I've decided to skip: "Prometheus" "Rock of Ages." The media blitzes have turned me off.
Good to be home and in weekend groove. Kingstowne, Panera, shopping, relaxing. Wrote next week's quickhits. Still on disk.

Hallelujah for 4G/3G! Constant connectivity is a cushion of continual comfort!
Correction: also saw independent analyst Colin White at #hadoopsummit
Only 2 industry analysts I saw & #hadoopsummit were from Gartner & Ovum. Hard 2 believe Forrester, IDC, et al not covering core of #bidata
Will be writing next week's quick-hits on plane home. I spring-load in advance. No idea what I'll say. Must be spontaneous.
Listening to Beatles "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)." Freeform goof feels like Fabs were channeling Goons, Python, and Syd Barrett.
Listening to The Edsels "Rama Lama Ding Dong." 1957 doo-wop classic is, like the best of that genre, a deeply visceral vocal tour de force.
Listening to Buffalo Springfield "Mr. Soul." The early Neil Young rocker that reminds me most of his later rockers. Love his electrotexture
Twitter talks were quite popular at #HadoopSummit. They run this service on an extraordinarily sophisticated pallette of advanced analytics
My talk at #HadoopSummit was well-received. I attended as many presos as I could fit in.
#hadoopsummit organizers underestimated popularity of some topics. I was unable to get into 2 jampacked sessions. Rooms reached capacity.
Was a good #HadoopSummit. Wish I could stay for the IBM #BigData developer event in Foster City. But must be going home.
At a Japanese BBQ in Cupertino. Waiting for my meal. Miso soup. Some sort of steak thing. My tea. Where's the water?
Met Doug Cutting in passing at #HadoopSummit. The #Hadoop inventor really stands out. Quite tall. Immediately recognizable at distance.

Rerunning keynote video at #HadoopSummit. Fresh great Santigold. But not "The Riot's Gone." Don't recall song name. My bad
Grabbed me some great #Hadoop schwag at #HadoopSummit. Prized takeaway is plush Hadoop elephant, courtesy of the fine folks at #Hortonworks
San Jose streetcar system is either quaint, obsolete, or eminently sensible, green, and postmodern. Do I salute thee SJ?

Heading to San Jose for the #Hadoop Summit. Expecting to encounter many interesting startups. Will attend most sessions.
24x7 news has convinced me that most of this stuff doesn't need to be dripfed to us roundtheclock. It's low-level toxin.

After-the-fact rendering of an all-over-the-place tweetchat as a coherent discussion, even one on a well-focused topic, demands sweat equity
The all-purpose dismissive retort in high-tech is "great concept...but it won't scale." Dish it out sparingly & with know-it-all cockiness.

My greatest joy is just in putting out original thought. Original doesn't necessarily mean unprecedented. It simply means I'm thinking.
As vendor, my life is easier. Analysts who try 2 put out original thought via blogs R conflicted. Companies want 2 monetize their juiciest
Starting to think of my #IBM blog for next week. Thinking of calling it: "Data Scientists: Run Your Mad Experiments"
Social networking growth is slowing down. By "slowing down," I mean # of Facebook subscribers won't exceed # of atoms in universe till 2020
