cooking steak
preheat your oven to its max (500-550)
WITH a dry cast iron skillet in it. Take the skillet out, put in on your
stovetop burner turned all the way up. Kosher salt your steak (at least
an inch thick), rub it with a little veg oil, and into that screaming
hot pan for about 60-90 seconds on each side. Put the pan back in that
500-550 oven for 3-5 minutes depending on the steaks thickness &
your own cooking preference. Take 'em out, transfer to a cutting board
for at least 10 minutes to rest. Tent with aluminum foil if you wish.

Mobile isn't a device. It's data.
(Quoted in w3.ibm.com at http://w3.ibm.com/news/w3news/top_stories/2013/05/chq_opad_sp2_mobile_042013.html)
"When you look at the three elements of Smarter Planet — an instrumented world, an interconnected world and an intelligent world — mobile plays across all of it."
"A typical mobile user engages with a device 150 times every day, including 23 times for messages, nine times for social media and six times for news."
"You don't have a mobile device just as an isolated instrument. The whole purpose of the device is to connect–to various networks, to various applications, to various people–to be interconnected. And intelligence – how can we better gather all that data to improve the client experience? Mobile can be leveraged to gather data and push out business insights for better, faster decision making,"
I represent a couple of software companies that automate the development and testing of the Data Integration (ETL/ELT) process for building Data Warehouses and Marts. These products reduce the time-to-market, risk, data quality issues, resource requirements, complexity and overall costs of these projects (Youtube video links below). Some of the current customers we work with are: Citigroup, Allianz, Pimco, State Street, Oppenheimer, Nomura.
I'd like to learn more about how we can help with your current and future BI/DW projects. Please let me know if you'd like to discuss in more detail.
