It’s time for a few I-told-you-so’s (ITYS), some industry commentary, public policy ramblings, and just enough connection to IT leadership to justify the rest.

ITYS #1: In his Fatal Exception blog, InfoWorld’s Neil McAllister asks, “Is the SaaS experiment finally over?” (7/1/2010). Citing Gartner, which elsewhere continues to cheerlead Software as a Service, he points out that SaaS adoption continues to be both limited and disappointing.

No surprise here.

BIG/GAS stands for “Business Is Great/Government and Academics are Stupid.”

It’s a popular proposition among the shouting classes, but NASA — specifically Spirit and Opportunity — have, over the past six years, driven a few more nails in its coffin. While unpopular in some circles the two Mars rovers have, as of this writing, exceeded their planned mission lives by more than 2,500%.

Very few business successes play in that league.
