This post is all about trust] In this age of free(mium), it’s common knowledge that you pay with your privacy. Facebook is the best (or should I say worst) example of the dance around your […]
I’m sorry, you’re just not incompetent enough to get it
Olivier Blanchard made me do it. @martijnlinssen 😀 As far as I can tell, incompetence isn’t a driver of failure. It’s a driver of advancement. — Olivier Blanchard (@thebrandbuilder) October 16, 2012 And it is. Definition of advancement? Coming up soon. But this is the driver for most, if not all, of your life: […]
What drives IT failure? Ignorance and Greed
It was an interesting question Charles Storm posed the other day: was I saying that solutions are primarily driven by ignorance and greed? I wasn’t, but he made me think: Every solution is driven by need, or want, and some lack of knowledge. Every failure is caused by ignorance and greed Let’s see whether I […]

Big Data? No. Big Information as a Service
I’ve been going through the Gartner hypecycle these last few weeks, regarding Big Data.

Big Data needs Big Collection and Big Execution
Big Data is the new buzz it seems, and I must say I have been sceptic of it since I first saw the very word – or phrase, what is it? As an IT architect, I’ve always equaled data to databases, and information to applications – and knowledge to the people on top of these […]
Why I’m using fake identities to sign up
That is, from now on I will. It is not only getting harder to sign up, it is also getting harder to sign in, and out. Let me explain please as this story has a few sides to it. But first, let me make my point: I’m going to use fake identities to sign up […]
