IBM says the addressable market for digital video is $105B by 2019. Exciting to have helped build the fastest way to get it to the cloud. (And it is the fastest: seriously, measure it.) https://latakoo.com/
IBM is building an enterprise video suite by buying UStream, Cleversafe and Aspera. Me? I'd choose Latakoo. http://techcrunch.com/2016/01/21/ibm-confirms-acquisition-of-ustream-forms-new-cloud-video-unit/
Whatever happened to television's most famous couples? (I would watch this movie.) https://medium.com/p/c9d569a892ea
@virgehall Culture moves. It's fluid. I'm not just okay with that - I'm excited about it. The 21st century is going to be great.
@virgehall Culture has always evolved, people have always moved, and immigration is a net positive for the economy. It's a good thing.
@virgehall Partly because the west went and invaded mostly everywhere else. But the rest of the world *will* follow. Trend is unstoppable.
@virgehall I didn't mention Israel in that piece at all, and my lack of roots does not have anything to do with Jewishness.
@virgehall I'm not a fan of Israeli policy on a raft of issues, no.

@virgehall I don't strongly identify with any nation; a growing number of people don't. My thoughts: https://medium.com/@benwerd/no-nationality-no-religion-6a556d718e3e#.b6uupdyot
@virgehall Had no idea. Thanks for the heads up. Also: given migration, I think blood ties are less true in the 21st century.
@virgehall I'm not sure what you mean by that. Why no citizenship?
Also, I've just now got a flood of responses to a days-old tweet. Why?
@mattl I take a decent lunch and like to walk around; stop work at 6pm; chill out and relax at home, meet friends, see a movie, etc etc.
Prototyping a new routine this week:
6am start
Make breakfast, drink coffee
Head to SF
Go to the gym
Eat breakfast
Work
So far so good!
"I didn't come here to follow brands." Nobody did, on any platform. If it's all self-promotion, you're screwed. https://medium.com/@austenallred/if-i-ran-product-at-twitter-b8dc1e3458cd
Naïve question: I'm in favor of drug legalization & regulation as a route to helping battle addiction and help prevent deaths from unregulated substances. Should my position be modified in light of the current prescription opioid health crisis?
@girlziplocked Your current Twitter background accurately conveys my feelings on this issue
@murphstahoe Irreverent Howdy replies aside, yes! We do IRL standups, so this isn't me being flippant about process.
Univision, which already owns Fusion, just bought a controlling stake in The Onion. New satirical TV ahoy? http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/19/463535648/area-satiric-publication-the-onion-sold-...
