Big data is hyping trend these days. Many people are using the term of big data for different purposes and situations. Here is a problem of big data in a nutshell, how I see it. The data is growing. It is growing in organizations and outside of organizational boundaries. It is growing because of application complexity and implementation complexity. My take is that each time we face “data problems” that cannot be solved in a traditiona...

By: Kimberly Weisul We spoke to Jonah Lehrer, author of the bestselling Imagine: How Creativity Works, to learn how entrepreneurs can be more innovative. For some entrepreneurs, a great “aha” moment is the spark that leads to the formation of their company. But just one ‘aha’ isn’t going to do it. Once you’re up and running, you may need new products, a better way to deal with your hotheaded marketing chief, or a knotty production is...

Last week, one of my sisters brought to my attention that we had a nest in the hanging pothos plant on the front porch. I instantly wondered if I had unknowingly doused them, when watering the plant in the previous weeks. Yesterday, I checked on the two baby birds and saw by their coloring they were song sparrows. This morning, much to my surprise, they were gone, probably urged by their parents to take better cover in the trees. That does...

Benjamin, now 8-years-old, was born to boogie and continues to hone his dance moves. Ben loves drawing, reading, school, Legos, and music and has an endearing smile and quick wit. He also enjoys super-hero costumes and spiffing up, even on regular school days, which no doubt tickles the teachers. But then again, he doesn’t mind getting dirty, picking up lizards, and playing baseball. Filed under: Uncategorized Tagged: family, grandc...

Baby boy laughed for the first time last week. Not only was it the sweetest sound I’ve ever heard, it got me through the day…apparently he learned to scream/squeal over the five days I was absent from his life (because we all know I would’ve squashed that from the start). I know what you are thinking, baby squeals are adorable, it’s so sweet. Except it isn’t, it’s worse than the screaming banshee cry and about...
