I love how the fragmentation of communication is actually moving away from appropriate use, and moving to duplicative use, amplifying the total volume of messages on the planet — while real content or (more accurately) unique thought is growing in proportion to population growth – no small number by itself. This has probably been a [...]

This post isn’t about Big Data (a currently trendy term), but it is about data and breaches – and its implications. We are fortunate that current health care laws require that the federal government be notified of breaches of personal health care information (PHI) – and that data is downloadable at a publicly accessible website.

I was recently asked about an update to a popular blog post I did over a year ago on my antics around my home theater setup.

I have a thesis that the recent history of bubbles are not just reflective of economic “irrational exuberance”, but in fact reflect social reality – the ability of individuals to influence and communicate with each other.

From the “shop local” department: Wired magazine reports that jet lag makes you stupid. That explains the idiotic advice I would often get from globe trotting consultants (and analysts).
