this week in SF. I interviewed all. Video will post soon

RIP Gordie Howe. One of my
cherished childhood memories was getting his autograph after a Red Wings game
at Olympia Stadium. Still have it.
Good

Nice
to relax over breakfast on a quiet cool June morning back East. San Francisco was fun, but it’s no Northern
Virginia .
My
sense of #sparksummit
is that it’s morphing into a general-scope data science summit focused on
streaming, graph, & machine learning.
At
the start & immediate aftermath of business trips, I often forget to reset
my default printer. My print jobs land 1000s of miles away

Tourist stuff. I’ve been working strenuously. Unwinding in the winds of Ghirardelli Square .
