I would like your comment on this joke that I heard a few weeks ago:

Big Data is a lot like sex in high school:

  1. Everybody says they are doing it.
  2. Very few people are actually doing it.
  3. The ones that are doing it, are really bad at it.

How accurate is that to the state of big data analyitics in either business or academia?

Why you gotta send out so many emails? I really really support your campaign (financially as well) but the emails were too much. Had to unsubscribe. Would have really liked an "email me less" option, but wasn't available (I heard later on that it was, but sorry too late).

Good luck. Kick some ass, seabass.

Are there any playgrounds or sandboxes that I can use to get a feel for how big data is actually "done"?

Thanks!

Also, I believe the OP said he would start at Noon Pacific time (20 minutes from now).
