A process ontology

A process ontology:

The value chain/network debate has flared up again over on IT Skeptic. This process ontology here is meant to help clarify things. I continue to hold that the first column is not a paradigm improvement over the second column, which is the claim some people seem to be making. Just two different and very well understood approaches to systems analysis. Thoughts?

very interesting!

Cable TV Is Totally Missing the Point

from Dennis McDonald’s MANAGING TECHNOLOGY by Dennis D. McDonald

On September 10 USA Today ran a story called Cable channels undergo TV make overs that reviewed the pressure the cable TV industry is under as subscription growth slows and programmersseek to attract new viewers through means such as sexing up individualprograms, renaming old networks to appeal to broader audiences, andplaying around with what individual "tiers" include.

Braves vs Nationals

Caught the Braves game Friday night with the wife, and had awesome seats!  Check out the camera angle to the homebase.  Row 11 from the field!

Braves won over the Nationals, there was some fool who ran on the field, tackled a security guy, and was promptly handcuffed by a police officer (the security rent-guard was down for almost 10 minutes after the hit).   There was also awesome fireworks afterwards.  Definitely recommend staying if they have them again – comparable to most 4th of July events, but you are sitting back in your seats finishing up your peanuts.

Best,
