Snowmelt Saturday in NoVA. Parking lots are crowded because people need to get out but many spaces still occupied by ginormous dirty piles

Post-winter storm parking lots. Obstacle course for pedestrian. Not just snow piles but grime that covers every car U might brush up against

Not sure what’s worse this year: winter weather or winter whiners.

My LinkedIn Pulse blog today on IoT data modeling is proving to be a smash hit. Go figure. I thought its geekiness limited its appeal.

Having grown up outside Detroit gives me a perfect reference frame for sizing up Cleveland. They and Buffalo are cousin cities. Erie-strewn.
