Decision Management Systems: A Practical Guide to Using Business Rules and Predictive Analytics by James Taylor My rating: 3 of 5 stars IBM Press. Yep, that pretty much sums up this book. While there is a wealth of information in this book it is so boring, even for an IT nerd [...] Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World by Michael Lewis My rating: 2 of 5 stars Disappointed. Michael Lewis finally let me down. After putting out such awesome books like Moneyball, Liar’s Poker, The Blind Side, The Big Short, and the New New Thing (often overlooked), I’ve finally hit a dud. I [...] Free Prize Inside: The Next Big Marketing Idea by Seth Godin My rating: 3 of 5 stars There is a considerable amount of good information contained within these pages.

The Initial public offering was handled by WR Hambrect + Co. under their Open IPO process. This was the same process Google used in their IPO.

This is what [...] I took Peng Liu’s Computer and Network Security in my final semester at Penn State in 2003 right before I earned my Information Sciences and Technology Degree. I learned a lot of network security theory including encryption and firewall security. I was surprised the University setup a separate network of isco routers to allow [...] I took Lee Giles course my Senior Year of college at Penn State and found it to be absolutely wonderful.
