I love your site and I LOVE your work! This is amazing stuff. BTW, I know the ZIP skinny link does not refer to your work, but since you asked for comments, I'd like to point out that zip codes are not a meaningful unit for socio-demo-geographic analysis. They were developed for the sole purpose of facilitating mail delivery. For the aforementioned analysis, the US Census's categories are far better.

Umm... I don' think the words of a washed-up hip-hop artist, talking over a montage of sexist video clips, would really turn the tide at my organization. I'm pretty sure the execs here don't view Hammer as a role model.

He's not gonna spec-u-late. He's not gonna let people lie to him. He's going to let the data speak. Hammer's as articulate, knowledgeable and passionate about analytics as Tom Davenport. I wish him luck.
Rob said:
Ah, but has it made his music any better? Is he more successful in selling his records? This table here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC_Hammer#Singles would suggest probably not.
Then again, maybe if he'd had a simple chart of income versus expenditure with projected surplus (or deficit) he could have avoided blowing $30m and becoming a bankrupt with $16m in debts.

This is hilarious! I do think people can learn a lot from this video: it is concise, it shows that Analytics can be used anywhere, and it is amusing. I believe he represents us, Web Analysts, very respectfully :-)
Eric said:
Hammer has made more money is web technologies than he ever did in the 80's with his music. He has co-founded a company called dancejam.com which is doing quite well. He is not looking to make HIS music any better.

DUDE! Relax!!!! *smh* the clip was hilarious ... great post Juice ... and it sounds like he's no fool in terms of analytics.

The point here, from my viewpoint, is that if your marketing leading insurance/software/financial/retail/manufacturing/... company isn't taking analytics seriously, but MC Hammer is, then just how out of touch are you?
