Digital Dilemma

It's been far to long since I've posted a blog. Unfortunately, I have this feeling that it won't be a overly frequent occurance. However, I am fully immersed in technology. So immersed that I feel like writing an "Ode to Tech"

Digital Dilemma

Where art thou, HDMI?
I sometimes sometimes feel my fingers cross
and process things like the square root of pi. <---yea...not a strong start...sorry.

I search for answers that solve
the problems tech brings
like how to intelligently derive
intrusion detection types of things.

I wax and wane
just like the moon.
I think my work is sometimes in vain,
Did I contact the Carnegie Mellon CyberLab too soon?

Whats the new protocol
solving the problems we face?
Why its intelligent tracking!
all at a digital pace.

One and zero
Make up my octets
Do I find the human computer interaction methods
Full of endless loops and regrets?

To solve the future issues--
and stay ahead of the pack...?
Where do we find ourselves heading?
Are we on the right track?

Is it the net...
Is it the man...
Personal opinions aside...
I say lets just enjoy the ride!


We need a strong dose of thinktank, government, industry, academia. So, with that said, how is this possible? How can we collaborate? Is it a technology that creates a technological breakthrough? Is it a singular mind working on a solution? Is it a group of people that sit in a room and don't give up until the problem gets solved? Well--I think it is a bit of all those things. The promise is that technology can help facilite productivity and increased productivity creates an environment where new ideas can be captured and cultivated.

Current research has been revolving around some very interesting topics that have been identified at University of Oregon. Like intelligent routing and validation of data transmission through the net. There's some other fascinating topics being researched at the Carnegie Mellon Cyber Research Lab. There also appears to be some very interesting research happening at Stanford and MIT. As usual. During this stand-up of the Chief Technology Office for the Air Force Network Integration Center I feel like I'm in a PhD program. I read a couple of white papers every day...which I need to get better at docummenting and indexing. Our entire group does really. I hate creating processes that create more work...rather than less...but sometimes it is a necessary evil for long-term results.

Oh well. I'm off to see a man about a dog. (going to grab a beer or two)
