Chaos
gripping the capital city. Why won't Obama lead?
I’m
sore from having shoveled 3 times. I shouldn’t have attempted the double axle
triple toe loop out there on the driveway.
Watching
figure skating. What figure are they etching in the ice? TV should superimpose
that on video feed, like football line of scrimmage
I’ve
already shoveled twice in this ongoing blizzard. Will do a 3rd and maybe a 4th
time. My muscles are so tight they twang.
14
inches on the ground & more coming down. I will haul my carcass outside
again & hoist yet another pile of th sloppy stuff off th driveway
Totally
addicted to “Luther.” Idris Elba rocks that role. Conflicted, nail-biting,
intense.
Blizzard
underway. Fortunately, we have plenty of milk, eggs, and bread. You need
lactose, cholesterol, and carbs to weather the storm.
Waiting
for the frigid water-bearing moving airmass over Northern
Virginia to commence the forecasted remorseless recrystallization.
Too
many #DBaaS choices?

Did
you know? Companies that refine data correctly have a competitive edge
according to #Forrester
#IBM Research #MakeDataWork
#makedatawork
democratized insight speeds up action to drive outcomes
#MakeDataWork we
see healthcare companies making this more transparent - have for a while.
#MakeDataWork Data
refinement is key to revenue opportunity in the data economy. Creates trust and
transparency to quantify value.
#MakeDataWork 45%
lift in customer interactions, and a 55% lift in brand affinity and trust with
holistic data refinement and prep strategy
#MakeDataWork Data
prep more easily allows prototyping of aggregating on-prem and cloud sources
than standard data integration
#MakeDataWork
Self-service is key for data prep. Endusers get to data data without access
barriers. They know good data when they see it!
Can
you discuss how collaborative data stewardship and/or curation operates in
leading-edge user organizations? #MakeDataWork
How
does data preparation relate to the democratization of data? #MakeDataWork
Michele,
can you give us an idea for how business can identify opportunities to monetize
refined data #MakeDataWork
How
does data refinement, if done properly, give companies a competitive edge? #MakeDataWork
Please
use hashtag #MakeDataWork
to submit your questions for Michele to respond to.
We
will be discussing data preparation and data movement today #MakeDataWork

"IoT," not "IT." I've requested correction.

RIP
Glenn Frey. He and Don Henley were the songwriting nucleus of The Eagles. Sang
lead on many of their biggest hits--e.g. "Take It Easy"
Spending
this federal holiday pointedly NOT working. That doesn’t stop work calls coming
in on my home line and cellphone, though. Sigh.
Wife’s
watching “50 Shades of Grey.” I’m listening to my music thru earbuds. But
occasionally glancing at the nude scenes.
Watched
“Pawn Sacrifice” on DVD. Tobey Maguire was terrific as Bobby Fischer. It’s
madness to unhinge your head around a stupid board game.
Self-driving
fully realizes concept of “auto-mobile.” It’s not enough for a car to go under
own power, but under own intelligence as well.
