Book Review: War, Peace, & IT by Mark Schwartz

The book bills itself as being for the CEO that’s looking to make sense of how the changes in IT should change the way they view the CIO and IT. It mostly lives up to that, though you’ll need to have some knowledge of agile/cloud. As a technologist, I also found it valuable to hear […]

Clever Idea: Serverless is Commitmentless

I’ve decided to start a bit of a series of blog posts called “Clever Idea”. I’ll use the space to talk about something I’m working on either in my hobby project (an app for picking Football games with your friends) or at work that I think is clever. The intent will partly be to share […]

Book Review: Algorithms To Live By

This book has a clever punch line… “What can we as humans learn from computers about how to approach problems that face us in every day life? Get the answer from a psychologist and a computer scientist.” A clever side effect is explaining some of the more interesting concepts in computer science (search, caching, communicating […]

Book Review: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism

I had extremely high hopes for this book after listening to an interview with the author. Unfortunately, most of what I liked about the book I heard in that 20 minute interview. I believe that the core theme of this book is a topic that will shape the next 30 years of American life. Unfortunately […]

Book Review: Who Can You Trust? by Rachel Botsman

I was inspired to read this book by an interview with Botsman on a podcast I listen to. It’s based on a compelling overall narrative… how have we reached a point where no one trusts the President of the United States, but people agree to stay in spare rooms of complete strangers on AirBnB and […]

Fantasy Baseball WAR

Whether you care about baseball or not. Whether you wanted to hear about it or not. If you’ve had more than three conversations with me in real life, I have told you that one of my favorite things is the fact that in baseball a player’s “Wins Above Replacement” (WAR) can be calculated. Statisticians can […]

New Year’s Resolutions 2019

2019 is starting off in a great place; I’m very happy with the friendships/relationships that I’ve formed in New York over the last couple years (and the ones I’ve maintained via distance), I have a chance to work on a really interesting project at work, and I’m in reasonably good physical shape.  The past few […]

The Blog of Burgher Jon Returns!

I’m sure the nearly no one who almost never read it will rejoice.  It’s not a cgrand re-entry; I’m as ambivelant as ever about how many people read or enjoy it.  It’s back online because I have missed having a place for long form expression. I enjoy thinking through something long enough to have a […]
