blog: "Putting data to work at Strata + Hadoop World 2016" (http://ow.ly/V0Bb304JEjG )
Rewatched
40-year-old “Annie Hall” with my daughter. All the New York City references are so 1970s. And so
Woody. It’s not that place now.
Enjoyed
the Strata keynotes. I think Alistair Croll should do more than intro others.
He should always be the featured visionary. I’m a fan
The
campaign I was working for IBM kept my mind off the presidential one. The hard
work was sufficient distraction. Something of substance.
My
26-year-old daughter has never heard o Jackson Browne. I told her it’s
equivalent to you bumping into Justin Timberlake 40 years from now

Of
course I'm NOT watching the "debate." To quote my favorite political
scientist, Carly Simon, I haven't got time for the pain.
Getting
ready for tomorrow in NYC. Running on empty, running blind, running into the
sun, but I'm running behind. Take it easy!

Just
met Jackson Browne on 43rd Street .
If
I had my druthers. Actually, I do have my druthers. I have plenty of druthers.
My middle name is druthers.
My
past politico-celebrity encounters on the streets of Washington DC
My
politico-celebrity encounters on past Delta Shuttles (DCA <-> LGA): James
Carville, Mary Matalin, Al Roker, Ann Coulter. Curmudgeons all
Have
had quite enough of “Youth,” a howlingly pretentious art film with Michael
Caine. Have half a mind to fling the DVD like a frisbee.
I
assume that Hillary's campaign will invite Melania, Marla, and Ivana to claw
each other's eyes out in the front row. Mêlée à trois.
Just
about to do a biz trip followed by a vacation. Need new music for the road.
Bought/downloaded Angel Olsen's new rocking "My Woman" LP
