Kind mentor passes –
As wise as the oldest hills ~
Still learning from him.
[For C. Barry Long, RIP]

Boosted for Christmas –
Joining fellow pin cushions ~
A gift from Science.
Sorting through old toys –
Finding leaking batteries ~
Science, please sort that.
Looking at a rock –
One cannot just think ‘a rock’ ~
Geology brain.
For Prof. George Sevastopulo, RIP.
Little rotorcraft –
Beyond live remote control ~
Lifting our spirits.
A man of science-
Who still saw the hand of God ~
A poor student, helped.
(For Philip A. Allen, Professor of Geology, RIP)
…and when Death was near –
Archimedes drew the truth ~
Circles in the sand.
Ten Haiku About Analytics
Model
Our friend, regression –
Explaining so much, so well –
A model for Life.
Quality
New models are fine –
but there is no substitute ~
For better data.
Vision
Graphical displays –
Unlock Big Data ~ suits brains –
Evolved for hunting.
Relative
The traces we leave –
Are now so detailed and deep –
Better than cave art?
Insight
Suddenly, breakthrough –
Before lunch, the problem solved ~
A sushi reward.
Endless
Thinking of something –
Where analytics can’t go –
Can only be God.
Proof
A line on a graph –
Predictions validated –
The argument, won.
Segments
Moving point in space –
With others, in a cluster –
A herd animal.
Synergy
Ideas ~ open –
Science by lateral thought –
Broadens horizons.
Network
Ev’rything connects-
Patterns, repeating ~ Deep Time –
Unending cycles.
