It’s the dream, really, to know more about your customers. To know how they use your services or goods and how you can better serve them. To have some sort of predictive knowledge about what they’ll want and to be able to be right there, right on time, just as they need, so they’ll never stray. This requires information – […]
These are some really intriguing movies (Netflix, etc.) – they’re finally talking about data, data use, data ownership, privacy, customization (sort of) and all sorts of things that have significant implications on our career ethics and responsibilities. When you watch these, they can quickly lead to a rabbit hole of TED talks, blog posts and more. Probably result in some […]

So, to that end, […]
Several posts of late have had to do with data privacy, protecting information, etc., but from the standpoint of what does this mean for our systems and our work with data… I think the implications are critical planning points for systems going forward. For me at least, when I’ve traditional built systems, once the data is acquired, it’s kept. We […]
