Re-Sounding
It was about a year ago we moved into a new (to us) house and it has a lot of cool features. One of the items is a set of in-ceiling sound in the kitchen area and the living room. It’s a pair of Speakercraft MT6 One’s that run through a volume knob near an […]
30 seconds to running Cloud Foundry app (v3)
It’s been a couple of years since I did an update to the up and running with Cloud Foundry post. Things have change quite a bit under the covers, but the up and running is nearly the same. So here what it looks like: First you won’t be doing a gem install of cf, instead […]
Prognosticating 2014
Over the past few weeks there has been the usual glut of “2013 Year in Review” and “What’s Going to Happen in 2014” posts and I figured I should probably add to the list. So here are my 2014 thoughts: Big Data will not become Data – There is a bunch of predictions out there […]
30 more seconds, running in Cloud Foundry v2

30 seconds to running Cloud Foundry app
I’ve been sitting on the bigdatamidwest domain for awhile planning to do something with it and it looks like I’m finally going to have the time and backing by my company to get to work on it. In an attempt to do some dogfooding I decided I’d start out by throwing up a Cloud Foundry […]
How micro will google maps go?
Another timely XKCD comic, just yesterday I was talking with a bunch of my coworkers about how much of a change there could be to Google Maps if they start pulling in Glass images. For a large corporation with a couple dozen people walking around you could probably map out the entire campus outdoors and […]
Giving back the XPS13
Over the last six months I’ve had the privilege of working off of a Dell XPS13. I signed up for the Sputnik program thinking there was no way I would get one and was accepted early on. We received a test unit at Adknowledge and things just seemed to fall into place. Over the past […]
