Should consumers of data generated, curated, and presented by our computer overlords be made aware of the nature of those overlords, or are we destined to receive what we are given without any clear idea what, how, and why? This is the beginning of a very long discussion, guests welcome...

The internets present us all with fabulous opportunities to express ourselves, communicate with friends and family around the world in real time or over years or both, and to conduct business out of our homes (whether we're stuck inside them or not). While the advancements in real technology and impressive gee-whiz chrome appear to work, what doesn't might end up being yours and my ability to do all of these nice things the way we want to, rather than the ways for-profit interests allow us to.

Have you ever made a product or service, launched it into the market, and discovered it was not what people wanted? Have you ever watched a product or service which you need and have been waiting for, crash and burn because it didn't match the needs of people like you? Is there a way to tackle that before it happens? Hint: Yes.

News is reported as stories for humans most of the time. Not so true when it comes to weather, sports, finance, and anything where there are tangible facts which might be compared and referred to in the story. Make no mistake, though, news is about telling a story and evoking a response, especially when tabulated facts aren't so clearly available.

Any proceeds (no obligation!) go toward coffee, whether its beans, a new coffee preparation method, or an outing to a cool coffee spot somewhere in the world.

Catching the tail end of the 2021 Memorial Day Weekend, wherein we all gave pause to consider the sacrifices made by some of the best-trained and most capable collaborators the world has ever know, the Men and Women of the United States Military.

Now, let us begin a conversation about the rest of us and how we can use the tools at our disposal to work together...

When at first you don't get your point across in a completely coherent manner, try (try) again? Well, the real goal was to establish the underlying and unifying theme of the show itself, to examine the all-to-easy-to-say expression "Change the World" in the context of the tag line, looking at what works and what doesn't (and what we might do about it, don't forget that part).

At long last, a return to production, with an episode that is essentially The Show... when we talk about "What Works, What doesn't, and what we can do about both," we are talking about changing the world at some scale, and that means Delivering Big Delta...

Has it been a year already? The theme of this show is generally failure analysis, or as I say from time to time, a discussion about what works, what doesn't, and what we do about it. The global pandemic brought by SARS-CoV-2 and covid-19 is going to be a treasure trove, so to speak, of failure analysis, from which we should all learn a great many things...

The first presentation I came across by Nickolas Means, really well done and interesting, on YouTube

The point of this show is to explore topic arcs over time, and for better or worse the top-level topic that is the global covid-19 pandemic will certainly provide fodder for discussion and learning for years, and episodes, to come...
