Barenaked Ladies lead

Returned to my room

not cuz I don't care, but cuz I need sleep & I present tomorrow
@eliasisrael Rephrasing: Has any independent data

EMPLOY THEM?
Barenaked Ladies did
excellent show. They worked the crowd beautifully. Fun. I would have paid to
see them. Wait...we did. #ibmiod
Barenaked Ladies do
"One Week," my personal fave of theirs. "Like Sting I'm
tantric."
Barenaked Ladies doing
"Pinch Me. " Love how they work in the
"under there/made you say underwear" lyric.
Barenaked Ladies doing
"Brian Wilson." I went 2 1 o 1st Beach Boys concerts in late 70s when
Wilson bravely
returnd, fighting mental illness
Barenaked Ladies
played for the Canadian launch of #IBM PS/2 back in day. That's true &
incredibly funny. Hire them as Big Blue house band.
Barenaked Ladies doing
"It's All Been Done." Another good singalong radio rock gem. That
singer (whatshisname?) has a powerful tremulousness
Barenaked Ladies
performing one of their hits: "This Is Where We Used to Live." Good
solid 90s rock radio song. They're still in fine form

Depressing dump. As was Max's Kansas

Waiting for the

Not familiar with OneRepublic. Like Barenaked Ladies, in both senses of the
phrase.
There are so many
smart, interesting people in and around #IBM to make great conversation that it
blows my mind. I could chat forever.

As I said, weird
thought. Occurred to me as I was crossing that bridge across the Strip from New York New York .
Context crumples in on
itself like a crinkly membrane as subject engages with objects in situational
milieus, much as proteins fold.
In my vision, context
is the milieu, membrane, or manifold through which subject and objects engage.
Had an odd
metaphysical thought about Jeff Jonas' "context accumulation." My
image was of "crumpled context."
I take absolutely no
schadenfreude in the fact that the Cardinals, who eliminated the Nationals,
were themselves eliminated by the Giants.

Jeff Jonas is also

"I'm a mover and

making simple yet elegant furniture. Good for you.
"Service with a

many reasons, some of them mean. Bared teeth.

50 years ago this
month since Cuban Missile Crisis. Soviet communism collapsed long ago. Castro
still hanging in there.
Nice to be in Vegas a
day before I get down to work. I always walk the city, off-Strip, alone, to
catch my breath and clear my head.
There's plenty of data
on the future. It's called "the past." Trick is to find it buried
down deep inside that great historical dump.
In transit to #ibmiod.
Reviewing the reading material necessary to prep for my myriad tasks.
