Hello new followers new to me and some oldies but goodies, you know who you are <wink>. Maybe I should add something to my profile here. I'm interested in biking, analytics, econ, and general food/health/living.

My cousin is a senior director at a major tier 1 auto supplier. Biggest car guy I know. Used to own a F150 Raptor. Texted me out of the blue asking if I heard of the book “Life After Cars”. His coworker recommended it to him and he’s loving it. Unreal!! @thewaroncars.bsky.social

TFW it is now dark and chilly for your 6am bike ride but you know you would give anything for this 53F weather during another snowcrete incident so you ride.

Sitting out on the patio and one of the two new neighbors around the corner just turned on loud music. Please let this be temporary. Oooh, I think someone yelled about it. 👂🎶🙉

BI grew out of "decision support systems," and then we mostly kept the systems. Zohar Strinka joined the Analytics Power Hour to argue that if nobody does anything differently afterward, the analysis had zero value. Plus: peanut butter, and a bag of rocks. analyticshour.io/2026/09/15/3...

#306: Decision Support Has Been the Point All Along

Before there was BI, there were "decision support systems." Somewhere along the way, we seem to have quietly dropped the "decision support" part and just kept the systems.
