Let’s start with a truth that makes a lot of people uncomfortable: The most valuable data set in the world isn’t sitting on a server. It’s sitting in people. Specifically — in you. All those years of doing, breaking, fixing, managing, selling, designing, negotiating, training — that’s data . Real, human data. Pattern recognition, decision trees, instinct models, and judgment calls that no algorithm could fake until now. And here’s the part nobody’s saying out loud:That knowle

You ever notice how every era has its buzzword bullshit? Like, back in the day, every computer was bragging about its clock speed. “1.4 gigahertz!” “2.0 gigahertz!” It was the language of power. Nobody actually knew what it meant, but it had a number, and bigger numbers meant better computers, right? Same with RAM. Same with hard drives. Same with every tech label we could slap on a box. “Intel Inside” was practically gospel — and it didn’t matter if anyone understood it. Mar

Yesterday, Voyager I officially joined the One Light-Day Club. That’s 16 billion miles away — far enough that a radio signal takes a full 24 hours just to say hello. You send a “ping,” and tomorrow, it waves back. Launched in 1977, Voyager’s been on the road for nearly half a century. It’s seen the planets, crossed the edge of the solar system, and is now coasting through interstellar space on autopilot. After 2026, it’ll never again be within one light day of Earth. It’ll ju

This all started with a phone call. An old friend of mine, Boris — a fellow IBM alum and one of the few people who still remembers what IRQ conflicts felt like — called me out of the blue a few weeks back. He had a question about AI. Simple enough. But if you’ve ever talked to two lifelong tech guys, you know how that goes. Five minutes in, we were no longer talking about AI — we were talking about everything that led to AI . We fell straight down the nostalgia rabbit hole: A

COVID did for remote work what the Russia-Ukraine war is doing for drone warfare. The pandemic didn’t invent Zoom, Teams, or Slack — it simply forced every organization on Earth to use them. Overnight, “digital transformation” went from strategy deck buzzword to survival tactic. Warfare is now having the same moment. From Platforms to Packets In June 2024, Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb  didn’t just destroy aircraft — it rewrote doctrine. Drones launched from inside Russia’s b
