This week, we changed things up a bit for the news segment and Allie Mellen joins us as a surprise guest host! We discuss Cisco\'s Splunk acquisition and what it means for Splunk customers, and "The Blob" - Allie\'s term describing the negative forces responsible for much of the overhyped marketing, silly trends, and substandard products we see in the industry.
