Shocked
I was able to write 5 solid qhs this past week while running btwn Manhattan
events, 2 of which I presented at. Antidote to overthink
Impressed
bassist in the blues-rock combo at the BBQ place last night when I observed
that his hometown Calgary is for Canadian cowboys.
Grabbed
late dinner last night at crowded hopping bluesrocking BBQ place in Brooklyn
last night. I was older than most patrons by ~30 years
Cab
driver to LaGuardia yesterday was impressed when I guessed he was from
Tajikistan. His name, accent, & face. Process of elimination
Flight
cancellations held me over another night in NYC area. Booked myself into
Holiday Inn in inner Brooklyn. No vacancies near LaGuardia.
Did
my preso at Big Data & Enterprise Architecture conf, NYC. LinkedIn guy up
now. Very interesting drilldown into their DW architecture.
Thinking
of prefacing my discussion of new #bigdata approaches
with catchphrase: "OK, so without further #Hadoop, here's..."

"Silicone Valley"? That's
in Vegas, right?
A
fairly dreary rainy day here in NYC. Nice enough big conference room here atop
