Timely. I did a "big data" presentation yesterday and hoped to convey how important it was to read original source materials to form opinions and avoid the hype.

Since slide decks get busy I moved my bibliography of links to a gist. So, while it didn't factor into my presentation I've now added this blog post. :-)
