08 Nov AI-BI-CI: Steps to Better Decisions
By: Joe Roushar – November 2018 AI: Artificial Intelligence Can you understand the things you observe and use them to make better decisions?

07 Dec Curating Digital Meaning
Joe Roushar – December 2016 That should be in a museum I think of museums when I hear about curating. Meaning is, in a strange way, an artifact, simultaneously ancient and modern.

Such content is advanced beyond data because of the built-in associations, but inevitably […]

11 May Thinking in Parallel
A Parallel Expert I once rode the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Ulan-Batar, Mongolia (not the picture at right – the engines were diesel). Several times along the journey we passed slower trains, and we were passed by faster ones. When people and freight are confined to a single lane, the speed of the slowest defines the speed of […]
