As we move computing power to the edge, this talk resonates even more. Two - that’s two conversations just yesterday that I had where we talked about bringing the power of computing to your pocket.

Think about it - we glibly talk about the ‘supercomputer in our pocket’ - and we use it to ‘like’ Facebook posts, send messages and whatever else it is you do - but hardly supercomputer activity.

I don’t think it will be this year, but Jim will be guesting on the podcast. It’s going to be a great conversation.

Conversation two, I can’t say too much about, suffice to say that the work being done is moving the power of a Cray (for those that don’t know - the Cray literally is a Supercomputer) into your house! Get your head around that for a minute.

I am reminded of (what I thought was an old bumper sticker, but turns out is a real quote.
