Cr... Time. Foods.

Anna and Charlie coming onto textural interest in foods.
Crusty bread. Crunchy apples. Crispy chips.

FutureM 2015 Boston.

Came to FutureM15 for IoT. And not disappointed by David Rose, Eric Snow of PTC, and panel on smart cities. Look for them on Twitter under #futureM15 and #IoT. Interesting to see latest in marketing... and relation to IoT. Background FutureM schedule .

Hayzlett - be bold (perhaps bolder than polite company would require).
Berners-Lee - times they are a changin'.

And okay - this piece is not from futureM - but similar viewpoint.

Xively Xperience 2015 Boston.

Attended Xively Xperience 2015 at Boston Seaport. Usually would run my own notes. But Jeff Engel at Xconomy (noted via Scott Kirsner on Twitter) has a great run down of the Xively gala.

Three scary keynotes:

• Diamantis - little things make a difference.
• James Lyne - security - no one has learned from the past.
• Ray Kurzweil - the exponential future.

Overall themes: Security. Forethought.
