The Promise and Pitfalls of Classifying Food
As a lover of all things tasty, my mind often turns to the kinds of food and drink that I love. As someone who works with taxonomies and thesauri, I tend to try to classify them. Often, though, I don’t get very far with it because I start to get hungry. However, I just ate, so I don’t think it’ll be so much of an issue this time.
Read MoreEmojis: Communication without Words
Each year since 2000, the Global Language Monitor has selected the Top Words of the Year, which they derive through statistical analysis of word usage. Some may have thought the organization had gone insane this year when they announced the selections for 2014 because, at the very top of the list was not a word at all, but the heart emoji.

It’s hard to believe that the Data Harmony Users Group Meeting starts a week from today. If I thought things were buzzing in the office a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t know what was in store for me. And since there’s so much to do, it’s definitely at the front of my mind.

I’m sure you’re all just like me and waiting anxiously to hear the results from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, whence this very day we will find out from Punxsy Phil whether spring will come early this year or we have to wait six more weeks (pro tip: it’s always going to fall on March 20th, or occasionally, the 21st). As ridiculous as the holiday might seem to me, though, there are things about groundhogs and Groundhog Day that are pretty interesting.
