'I like art, and love unusual sculpture. Some days when I need a pick-me-up, I watch the videos of Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests. These self-propelling plastic pipe structures use wind power to walk. I am amazed as one of these ungainly creatures catch the wind and walk easily across the sand. It is carefully designed alignment. Over time, these modern sculptures have become more resilient.

'I’m getting a little tired of articles about ‘big data’. Especially the extreme reports – ranging from panic-filled to euphoric – many of which are written by hardware and software suppliers, or by magazines that simply regurgitate what those companies tell them. So far, I’ve failed to discover the essence of big data. To me, big data is like a garage full of old newspapers: as long as you’ve got enough space available, it’s not a problem to keep them.

'I love retail research. While some gals would call it retail therapy, I actively converge my days of shopping with supply chain research. Let me give you an example. Recently, I needed new bowls for French onion soup. So I placed the same order on Amazon, Macy’s and JC Penney’s websites. I had some trepidation. The reviews on Amazon listed “in-transit breakage” as a problem, but I shrugged my shoulders and decided to give it a go.
