There’s Sand(y) in the Machine

There’s Sand(y) in the Machine

By Denis Pombriant on October 30, 2012

Well, the good news, as I survey the neighborhood on the day after is that we survived.  Boston had its moments with more than a quarter million homes without power, but it is nothing compared to the reality of New York City and environs.  We were relatively lucky on this one. As I write this […]

With great power comes great responsibility – or, Cloud companies need to get on-board

By Tom Raftery on March 4, 2012

With great power comes great responsibility This great quote from the movie Spider-Man, is just as true for technology, as it is for superheroes.

BP CTO and innovative technology around the Gulf spill

BP CTO and innovative technology around the Gulf spill

By Vinnie Mirchandani on October 7, 2010

Grid Watch: smartgrids meet smartcomms

Grid Watch: smartgrids meet smartcomms

By Tom Raftery on April 8, 2010

2010 and what about the bees?

2010 and what about the bees?

The Answer is Taxes

The Answer is Taxes

By Jeff Nolan on January 5, 2010

Bees (The Golden Company)

Bees (The Golden Company)

By Craig Cmehil on September 25, 2009

It’s been awhile since I blogged about CCD and bees but I’ve not stopped paying attention. Yesterday in Twitter James (@monkchips) posted a link I wanted to share with everyone.
