February 21, 2018 *DeepDive* Data Science vs. Data Engineering
Frank and Andy talked about doing a Deep Dive show where they take a deep look into a particular data science technology, term, or methodology. And now, they deliver!

In this very first Deep Dive, Frank and Andy discuss the differences between Data Science and Data Engineering, where they overlap, where they differ, and why so many C-level execs can't seem to figure out the deltas.

February 17, 2018*DataPoint* Still Alive
Yes, Andy and I are still alive and we’re doing well.
2018 has started off like gangbusters for us both. Andy is going full bore in his consulting business and I’ve been big into Big Data, between delivering five online courses on Hadoop for WintellectNOW.
There is a new episode in the hopper and it will be out soon.

December 20, 2017 *DataPoint* The Magic of IoT
Noted science fiction author, Arthur C. Clarke once noted that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
If you want to see this in action, then head no further to the nearest place you can play MagiQuest. Players are given an RFID enabled wand and go on a scavenger hunt to obtain “enchanted items.”
When players point the wand at various objects, these inanimate objects respond either by opening, lighting up or speaking. It looks exactly like magic.
