Just want to let my amigos in the US know that I'll be at our No Kings demonstration tomorrow, Saturday, in our little town of Klamath Falls, Oregon. Population: 22,000. The locals have already organized it. The town was originally named Linkville when founded in 1857 by Mr George Nurse […]

I'm surprised he didn't follow up with: "And you know, we learned from Pearl Harbor. We did. And so when it was time to drop the nucular bombs on Hiroshima and I forgot the name of the other city - Naga something, sounds like MAGA, Make America Great Again! - we didn't tell you ahead of time […]

I have nothing but pride for the way Kevin Morrison and his campaign team (which the wife and I volunteered for these past 3 months) for their efforts to elect Kevin to IL-8 yesterday. But when outside PACs pour nearly $7M into a US House race, it's difficult to overcome that on any ledger […]

>> "Calling the White House 'a special place', [Judge Leon] added: 'This is an iconic symbol of this nation.' Trump, he said, was not the owner, but a steward on behalf of the nation." << So I borrow my house for a few years to a trusted family member to keep it clean and well-maintained while […]

Woo-hoo! Just a few more weeks until #andoucsummit2026 commences. I'll be presenting a neat session on Oracle 26ai RDF Knowledge Graphs as well as a few other sessions, when I'm not running around like a crazy man volunteering. See you soon!

If you're still on the fence on who to vote for US House IL-8 on Tuesday, check out this true story + then tell me how you could pick anyone else except my friend Kevin Morrison! Here's why I think he's absolutely the ONLY choice. Need more info? See kevinmorrisonforcongress.com.

First compute, then databases, finally networking here at #cfd25 from VMware by Broadcom - anything to make networking less mysterious for us DevOps and DBAs 😇

Nice demo of VMware by Broadcom Data Services Manager (DSM) for handling complex RBAC-limited requirements for MySQL, PostGres, and SQL Server DBs for DBAs +/or DevOps. Pretty slick! #cfd25

Think YOU have a large data stream? Here at SETI it's 2.4 TB. Per SECOND

FIELD TRIP!!! The whole #cfd25 team is headed to SETI today in search of intelligent life in the greater universe outside of Silicon Valley

Ab fab to hear the history of the IT industry from someone who has BEEN THERE thru boom > bust > boom cycles since 1978. But there's one overriding theme: Irrational exuberance

Now it's time to see where and when Cloud computing has been, is going, and is right now with Tom Lyon here at #cfd25 ... and from one perspective it's at least 100 years old 🤔 😱

From our friends at Hammerspace to a totally different topic: The Internet Archive! Joy Chesbrough, Chief Philanthropy Officer, will be taking us through what the internet is REALLY all about - and why it still matters 🤯

OMG Hammerspace is actually talking about an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) environment this AM at #cfd25 ... yeah, Oracle has a public cloud too, folks 😇

Here we go with Hammersmith at #cfd25! Looking forward to what's new and amazing in the Cloud space

What an absolutely brilliant idea: Attack a Muslim nation in the middle of a holy season (Ramadan) + attempt to overthrow its government by overt leadership decapitation attacks. I am thoroughly convinced US foreign policy is now being led by Christian/Catholic fundamentalists who desire to […]

Another day, another town hall for Kevin Morrison! This time we're in Bloomingdale chatting with an engaged group of folks on his views on what #il8 needs to be represented in the US House.

Almost time for our first town hall of the 2026 IL primary season on a somewhat frigid Sunday here in Elk Grove Village

Excited to dive more deeply into Kevin Morrison's campaign for IL-8 US House today! If you're in the NW Chicago suburbs close to Elk Grove VIllage, come hear Kevin speak to the issues surrounding our communities and how Kevin will tackle them when he arrives in Washington […]

What better way to watch the Illinois Senate debate than to meet some new fellow patriots in our neighborhood, break bread, share a bevvy, and make whistle kits for folks at risk of abduction by ICE green shirts

My experience with generative-AI has been that, at its very best, it is subtly wrong in ways that only an expert in the relevant subject would recognise. So I don't worry about us creating super-intelligent AI, I worry about us allowing that expertise to atrophy through laziness and greed. I […]

lol, "if only someone had warned us about this sort of thing?!" #ai #genai #aibubble #technology #business #llms

Proud to support our friend and next US House #il-08 representative Kevin Morrison tonite at a fundraiser birthday bash. Get involved, folx, at your local level - it's a sure cure for malaise!

JFC. FFS, Trump wants to build a "triumphal arch" 250' tall in a terrible Washington DC location: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/31/trump-washington-dc-arch-lincoln-memorial Why 250 feet? "It makes sense - 250 feet for the 250th anniversary of the USA," according to Trump. (How […]

JFC OMFG I really didn't understand the enormity of IT tech being deployed directly against people living in the USA, citizen or not, until WaPo published this (internet archive link, so some interactive graphics might not work). It reminds me of Minority Report, especially the retina scans 😱 […]

Nice move on the part of this ex-Uline employee! Dick Uhlein and his wife are two of the most despicable MAGAt billionaires on the planet. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/30/uline-worker-resigns

Great article (🎁 link below) from George Packer @ The Atlantic about how many USians, enraged by ICE/CBP/Trump, feel they need to take action ... but we still lack a centralized movement to establish that across our country. In our defense: The USA is a damn big boat, and it takes MILLIONS of […]

This is my tiny delight for #today, maybe yours too? :neofox_hug_haj_heart: #haiku

My Black friends and colleagues in the USA have a similar phrase that is even more subtle and is the result of several hundred years' experience: Mmmm-hmmmm. Video to demonstrate it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUsWF70IS9Y

> "I saw a comment that people hated the #Melania [#movie] so much, if it was shown as an in-flight movie on a plane, people would **still** walk out."

Suggest you (a) read this, and then (b) send it on to all of your friends who have enough courage to understand that we are living under a Fascist President's regime right now: 🎁 […]

So Kash Patel telling us he has no FUCKING clue on how firearms actually work. Last time I checked, one gun cannot accept more than one magazine at a time. FFS, take yer bug-eyed ass self back to DC, wrap yerself in your ladies-size FBI jacket, park it in […] [Original post on techfieldday.net]

A candle for Minnesota. For the protesters across the country. For the people who are protecting their neighbors, blowing whistles, standing up for families and immigrants and civilians and children. #candle #minnesota #uspol #protest #ice

As Steinbeck observed, merely 85 years ago: "[T]he failure hangs over the State like a great sorrow ... and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy […]

My fellow humans, the murder of an innocent human this AM in MPLS is just the latest outrage. Let's not forget that MAINE IS NEXT ... especially with Trump's obsession with Somalians and labeling their country as "sh*thole" and "garbage." Since I'm way too far away to help except in spirit […]
