Show Notes

Joining John Ladley and Mark Cooper at Rock Bottom is Jon Padfield. He is an Assistant Professor of Business at Indiana University, Columbus, President of the Business Reform Media Group, and proprietor of the very successful Business Reform YouTube channel. In the first half of our conversation with him, he discusses ways that companies collect and use our data that we don't often think about, fully understand, or knowingly agree to. You may think differently about clicking the software license agreement "I Accept" button.

We also have a new Archedataology artifact, Data Poetry Slam, and advice from the 8-Bit Consultants. As always, if you have a suggestion for an artifact to explore, a poem to share, or question in 256-characters, write us.
