The Future of Analytics and Business Intelligence

Been excitedly waiting to see what comes from Numenta since ~2006. Can't wait to see what's next. If I could go work for them tomorrow I would. Can't wait to see what Hawkins is talking about 20 years from now.

Clojure!

Spent some time looking at Clojure today. Definitely mind-bending given I've never worked with a Lisp dialect. Downloaded and walked trough the examples on the site. I will definitely be taking a deeper dive if nothing more than to help diversify my perspective. I'm interested in learning more including ClojureScript.

Habitat for Humanity

I spent the day yesterday with 15 co-workers helping to build a Habitat for Humanity house. It was fun, felt good and was less stressful than work. We spent the day putting siding on the house. I enjoyed challenging my fear of heights standing on scaffolding at the peak of the roof while using a nail gun.
