Jargon watch

Out of band from the Wired / Tired / Expired series, an in between jargon watch notification:

Wall huggers

The dorks in public places sitting against a wall near a power plug, not comfortably on a chair at a desk or so, in order to get juice for their cell phones. As in this clip, and others, and in your environment, too. Don’t become a hobo.
Nopenopenopenope I know it isn’t as new even, but some might have missed it. Hence the notification…

After which I leave you with:

Wired / Tired / Expired, July 2014 edition

[This one I do know ’cause I’m from Barça]

So, here’s the July edition of my Wired / Tired / Expired jargon watch overviews, a mixed bag and a shortie due to Summer:

WIRED TIRED EXPIRED
Developing IoT methodology, step by step Hyping IoT and wearables, not knowing the difference Hyping Big Data
As here. Just track this, this and this page. Do I really need to explain this ..?
Security breaches are normal APTs Privacy
We’re getting used to massive data leakage; don’t care too much anymore. Outrage ..? Not so much. Just mass abandonment. ’cause they’re so hard to tackle, people lose interest. But still they’re out there. In with you. Yeah, yeah. New EU regulations will mean massive changes. But only after they will arrive. Someday.
SBR/XBRL (still)
incl Continuous (extremely (ad hoc) sliced and/or granualar) Assurance		 Services diversification Quarterly EBITDA
Finally, finally it begins to dawn; the breakthrough of ideas re this, as prof. Verkruijsse already knew. Will lead to fuzzy positioning, same price pitch, bland results. Really? Who would still be interested …? The geriatric demographic will no longer be interest(ed).
Business canvases (rapidly changing) No business plans, just an idea to pitch to VCs Business cases
Since the world changes so fast, and you should know where you come from and where you’re (thinking you’re) going even if the picture isn’t crystal clear and constantly changing. The odd side out; too vague, will not be acceptable. Show me one that isn’t a great big lie.
Suits Good Wife Matlock (reruns)
Witty, yet showing vulnerabilities and for once, somewhat subtle pointers to actual slightly vulnerable personalities. Has gone into repeat mode. Just stale, man.
Locally produced Superfoods Wheat grass
Nearshoring of your food supply; keeping the logistics to a minimum, and close to your environment. You did not miss the bombardment of debunking scientific articles on these, did you? Goes in with Birkenstocks (see below)
Vinho Verde Grüner Veltliner / Prosecco Rosé
Ah, how refreshing for the season! Brosecco, both. Austria tried but, see, it’s not (only) about the grape, it’s much much more also about Quality. Which always, always, ends up being way too sweet when ‘unfreezing’ to doable temperatures.
Havaianas / Juichpak (tie) Regular flipflops Birkenstocks
W now, but will be forgotten next month… Dork-style. Or top right of:
nerd-venn-diagram-9420-1252236207-2		 Don’t forget the goat hair socks…

OK, any suggestions for next month’s edition ..?

Wired / Tired / Expired, June 2014 edition

[A mixed bag but me know nothing, I’m from Barcelona Madrid]

So, here’s the June edition of my Wired / Tired / Expired jargon watch overviews, a mixed bag:

WIRED TIRED EXPIRED
#ditchcyber APTs Cyber! Cyber! Cyberthis, cyberthat, cybereverywhere
Most certainly, this is still W.
Maybe shouldn’t have been. But is.		 They were meant to be here to stay.
So they do.		 There’s even an interesting popular song about this!
Mind-controlled bionics / Sensors (tie) IoT / Wearables Weaponised drones / Drones for deliveries
Once these get sorted out, we’re all doomed. Because we’ll not prep our society in advance of quick enough. Fact, from history.
After this, Fukuyama will be right after all.		 All talk, no full-scope delivery. Laggerd panic, these ones.
White asparagus Green asparagus Noma
The ultimate, from the Aragon to Holland reach. Underestimated, neglected, by those who don’t know the product well enough. Not ‘the’ asparagus. Just the typical second choice. Eat your own ants. Exposure of decadence.
Drought in CA CO weed LGBT =
After the tiny snow pack, drought throughout CA and neighbouring states. See the panic. Dude, relax! Done deal, mellow! Equality spreading, overdue, now an unstoppable avalanche. Hence E.
BnpzKOsCMAAQYBm NAkjglc h626FCB52
In its lens- and other forms. Yes there’s innovation in there …! As Coin, still under W, though Overused

OK, any suggestions for next month’s edition ..?

BBQ science. Just like science.

OK, you do actually want to read this and this, side by side. Gas or charcoal. Or both or neither.
And conclude. It’s all about science…

OK, and to conclude:

Car industry development

It seems that famous T may be in for some competition. Serious competition, when these qualifications come true in the real world.

088_BMW_i8-new

There’s of course various ways this might work:

  • Big Motor – the Germans, Asian, French/Asian, not so much the classical US ones ..! – puts out some half-lame trials to confuse the markets and destroy the startup T. Happened before with DeLorean, remember?
  • The same, now gets into the game for realz, and wipes out Fisker first, and then famous T. “Thanks for creating the market, off we go and leave you in the dust”;
  • The same, try but fail. The ideal scenario, but hopefully the true one. And hopefully, other small-time startups will follow suit otherwise we’ll be back with one big Ford T company again.

And, could we change the designs so they’ll be more Karma’esk instead of cheesy early-’80s-like ..!?
