One of the changes that happens every fall is I switch from listening to NPR on the way in and home from work to the local sports call in show.  I guess that could be termed going from the sublime to the ridiculous.  The switch is driven largely by my fascination with football, both college…

It was a weekend of extremes.  I am a huge Kentucky Wildcat fan for both football and basketball and on Saturday they had their big in state rivalry game against Louisville.  They were actually ahead in the series with 10 wins and 9 losses over the last 19 years, but you wouldn’t know it if…

I haven’t been doing a lot with my facebook account for a while.  However I have been thinking about Facebook as a ‘platform’ (note the lower case p) for PLM applications.  The underlying social networks that Facebook is built on would be a killer way to gather requirements for new products aimed at specific niches,…
