WANTED: Your Opinion and Thoughts...

Ok, So I have been a bit slack in the blog department.

I have been finding it hard to break out of the everyday rut of work to post anything.

Well, that has to change. I need to get out of this rut, to challenge myself, to expand my horizons. After all, the project I am working on is quite interesting, why not share?

So I have been thinking... Is anyone out there interested in a daily or weekly email newsletter for BI? Maybe a forum, etc? User donated articles, etc? Sort of like Code Project, except for BI? A place where I can get everyone involved, rather than just myself.

I would like to hear some feedback, as well as thoughts or ideas.

Meanwhile, I have to get back to work. I have an article on the ForEach SSIS Task almost complete. I will try to post it today.

View of 1999...From the 1960's

Here is another interesting view of the future from the mid 60's... again, they seem to have gotten the concepts correct, but not the implementation...

And they also didn't see the social norms changing. The wife does the shopping while the husband grimaces and pays for it!

A view of 2008... from 1968

This is an interesting article from "Modern Mechanix" magazine from 1968.

I find it very interesting that missing one small piece of information skews the entire article. For example, he talks about "Not every family has its private computer. Many families reserve time on a city or regional computer to serve their needs." and "TV-telephone shopping is common." He did not see a computer in every home that is connected to every other computer via the internet.

But apart from that, it is a good article, and many of the concepts are a reality today, although not in the same form as he anticipated.
