Final Friday

Okay folks, time for me to sign off for the year. Two housekeeping notes.  First, blog service will resume bright and early on January 6th.  Second, this will be my last-ever Friday blog.  Many of you have over the years asked how I manage to put out this blog every day.  The answer is that it is getting difficult for me to balance this with the growth of our business (it has been quite a good year at HESA Towers),

Hit Pause

All right, everyone.  It’s the solstice today, and that’s pretty much the signal for everyone to press the pause button and wind things down for the summer.  This blog is no exception.  I’ll be back on August 26th, unlikely to be rested (packed schedule for the summer already), but hopefully recharged and for another year of data analysis, global updates and snark in roughly equal proportion (the way you all like it, right?)

Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot

It’s the end of the year for us at HESA Towers today (at least as far as blogging goes).  I know in the Scottish tradition, you’re supposed to use the end of the year for memories, but I kind of prefer the Japanese tradition of Bonenkai, or “forget-the-year”: basically, wipe out as many brain cells with alcohol and start the new year fresh. So, with that in mind, let’s look forward to 2018.   What should we expect? Well, I think
