Data is NOT the "new oil." Oil is a
nonrenewable resource, produced by nature. Data is a renewable resource, the
product of human activity.
Or the German one. Just as much my bloodline as the
Pole. Ethnic or racial balance at the top is superficial issue in Catholic

I have no opinion on whether there should be American

Looks like William Shatner moving into #bigdata.
He's spinning up a massive ego cluster to process his 4 Vs, the 4th being
Vanity.
Isaacson's Jobs bio makes me laugh at many points. For
example, Jobs in 1982 was cocksure Time mag would name him "Person of the

You can't really know it all. Best U can do is evolve

"So how you like Boston , Jim?" People asked me that in my

Telecommuting. The term doesn't really apply when the
"home office" you're "telecommuting" to is a plane ride

"Tech Trade Associations: Are They Valuable?"

Abraham Lincoln. Even if he'd been a lackluster

Ex-pope vacated the Vatican

Tucker Carlson. The bowtied commentator resembles the
rightside anti-hip of the conjoined twin from which left-hip Steve Jobs was
separated.
George Will. Someone once described bowtied columnist as
resembling a "Victorian patrician trapped in a world of unspeakable
vulgarity."
Last bowtied liberal in Washington was the late Senator Paul Simon
