Topic 1: Prognostication request - Is shared workspace going to be the largest source of New Jargon in 2022?

Do you know what "Benching" or "Desking" are? You could probably guess what shared desking is.

We look at the possibilities of future workspace. There is clearly more than one answer.

Topic 2: Don't Gloat About Your Competitors' Troubles

Wherein we examine the difference between your marketing blog and your technology/security blog. You can be really great from the security viewpoint, but we discuss whether that discussion should leak over to the marketing side of the house.

Corporate marketing is not the place to talk about your competitors' security issues.

Topic 3: Karl loses a one dollar bet on driverless cars
