Thanks to Matt here at the Network for the tip on this site called the Web Economy BS Generator. It very funny and may provide you with the verbiage you need for your next high pressure presentation.
For example:
It is important to synthesize virtual functionalities, incubate intuitive bandwidth and monetize viral interfaces to achieve this years sales goals. In addition we must morph distributed metrics and disintermediate open-source content so that we can innovate and maximize frictionless initiatives. lastly, its critical that everyone on the team can integrate next-generation e-business while embracing web-enabled action-items.
9.8 Million laptops will be stolen or lost in the next 2 years according to Tadayoshi Kohno. With that in mind a research project at the University of Washington has created the Adeona project named after the Roman goddess of safe returns. The lead Ph.D. students on the project are Gabriel Maganis and Thomas Ristenpart, working with UW faculty members Tadayoshi Kohno and Arvind Krishnamurthy.
Adeona has three main properties: - Private: Adeona uses state-of-the-art cryptographic mechanisms to ensure that the owner is the only party that can use the system to reveal the locations visited by a device.
- Reliable: Adeona uses a community-based remote storage facility, ensuring retrievability of recent location updates.
- Open source and free: Adeona's software is licensed under GPLv2. While your locations are secret, the tracking system's design is not.

I've been looking forward to this one. Ben Huh from icanhascheezburger.com is speaking at Gnomedex. His site is interesting to say the least and has caught fire over the past few months as more and more people are tapping into it. I have used images from the site in my blogs
The site traffic is nearly 50 million page impressions a month from zero in February of 2007. They get 5000 community submissions every day.

Things here at Gnomedex are off to a great start sitting with my friend Greg Cangialosi. Great to see everyone at the event. I will be blogging on Gnomedex content for the balance of the day and into the weekend. Started my day with coffee and a sunrise over the water.

Drew Madison here at the Network passed me this link and its great. A comprehensive list of the top 50 books every geek should read.
See the list here. I apologize in advance that the author splits the list over 20 pages in a lame attempt to drive ad space on the site. I would have grabbed the entire list and reproduced it here but that wouldn't be nice.
It is a great list though.

I couldn't be happier to announce that the Business Intelligence Network has formed a strategic partnership with Gwen Thomas and The Data Governance Institute. Three websites published by the Institute, DataGovernance.com, DataGovernanceSoftware.com, and SOX-online.com, will join the BeyeNETWORK today.
Here is a quick description of each of the sites.
DataGovernance.com
DataGovernance.com is the web's largest, most visible resource completely focused on Data Governance. The site consists of hundreds of pages of useful resources for the professional dealing with governance or related issues, from basic information to in-depth analysis. The site also includes 'Guidance by Gwen,' in which DGI president and founder Gwen Thomas shares processes, templates, and tools, tips on getting a governance program started, and discusses the DGI Data Governance Framework.
DataGovernanceSoftware.com
DataGovernanceSoftware.com is the first apples-to-apples approach to looking at tools that address data governance-related needs. Vendors list products categorized by the types of governance-related functionality addressed by each solution.
SOX-online.com
SOX-online.com is the web's largest collection of vendor-neutral information, resources, humor and news about Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
I'm very proud that the Network is continuing its growth. I think this is especially important as many traditional resources in the space have reduced or eliminated their coverage of the industry. The Network now serves the global business intelligence and data warehousing market with 25 different web based communites. Having the Data Governance Institute as a partner will add greater value and content for our readers as well as open new marketing opportunities for our customers looking to reach data governance centric professionals.
The TDWI World Conference kicks off on Monday in San Diego. As usual we will be covering the event and meeting with vendors. A couple event highlights include Howard Dresner keynoting on Monday covering Information Democracy.
Another must see session is Bill Inmon on Thursday - Integrating Unstructured Data into the DW 2.0 Framework. This is a new session for TDWI and the first time in 5 years that Bill has taught at the event.
I"ll be blogging from the event as well as twittering so watch for more info as the week progresses. You can subscribe to my twitter feed here. Or you can subscribe to the BeyeNetwork Twitter feed here.
