Some years ago, when the phrase “big data,” was first gaining currency, we decided that before we embarked on any projects related to this new silver bullet, we should figure out what it meant. So, we got on the phone and spoke with a dozen smart people we knew in state and local government, asking nothing more than for a definition of that phrase. It turned out that we got at least six different variations on the theme, and there was no real clarity as to what big data really was.

Will sent me an article about advocates concern about a rise in bicyclist related deaths in DC (" Through tears, a devastated mom demands DC do more to keep cyclists safe ," WUSA-TV). It's an issue in Utah too, although more wrt recreational road biking. Will made the point that given the " vehicular cycling " orientation that still is the dominant biking policy--mixing bikes and cars instead of separating them--the rise in deaths shouldn't be a surprise.
