hey all,

data rules everything around me, D.R.E.A.M. get the memory, giga gigabytes y'all
I grew up on them text files, default Excel styles, using BDAM was no jam, so little RAM, comp froze on man man, so then I moved Cloud-land, a young youth, letting my scripts loose, error proof, only way I began a day off was map-reduce and let's awk it like this son, greping on this one and that one pulling out stats for fun But it was just a dream for a screen, a data fiend Started scraping sites at sixteen and firing up Hbase, calculate page-rank, reduce dimensions of the feature space no question I could see, P of A given B, but the proofs made my eyes bleed. and no question I would seek it all to make n equal all, Slicing up DBs with SQL calls, But life got no better, same damn old measures, Insights are rough and tough like leather Figured out I went the wrong route So I got with some sick journalists and went all out Catching leaks from agencies, FOIA'n for DB's, every week we went to csv, so open command line, or fire up sublime, g-git-POW, and join us, wont you now?
