Hey, njroute22.com here with another cheap wine reviews vlog. I was I filmed it already and then I realized that I wasn't filming anything.  Jesus, I forgot to press record. What a dope. Anyway, today we're talking about 19 crimes, the uprising. It's a 15% alcohol red wine blend out of Australia. And I went on and on in my previous take that never got recorded. Maybe I can make this one shorter. Anyway, first let me take a sip. That's my signature way of drinking. And I also have to drink a sip to tell you what it's all about. I said in my previous unrecorded video that there's another individual in the house here drinking this. That is a little bit of a snob when it comes to wine and they liked it a lot. It was I guess velvety and textured and it had more of I guess and a wine taste. But we're debating on whether it has additives or not. They didn't even tell you the grapes or what kind of brewing a fermenting process. I'm gonna taste this. Yeah, it's definitely not hobo wine. It's it seems definitely seems more sophisticated. Whatever they did to make it that way, I don't really care. I just worry about how I feel the next day. So one thing I wanted to say about this wine is that it's we're going to be talking a bit more about the other aspect of this wine, which is their ridiculously complex and unnecessary marketing procedure or whatever that comes along with this. It's it's not just wine that you buy and enjoy. It's it has a whole package that comes with it.  Oh, and the 19th, I'm not going to try and explain their marketing program here. It's it's not my that's not what my purpose is here. But they print there's a gimmick they print the crimes on on the wine cork. It's it's like a whole marketing thing. And what I said in my previous video, I'll keep saying that because I'm probably not going to be able to recreate the great snappy points I made. But you can't just sell a bottle of wine anymore, you have to sort of package something else with it. Does this add value to the whole experience? Or is it just something that that people now need to feel like they got more for their money?  I don't know what the going price is anywhere else. You buy it on their website. It's $150 for 12 bottles. So you do the math. It's like 11 or 12 12 bucks a bottle 12 times 12 is 144. So it's like 12 12 and change a bottle. But I can't find on their website. There's an ordinary web browser here I'm using. I can't find more about this one. It doesn't tell me the grapes or anything. Other than it was part of this wine, a portion of this wine has been aged for 30 days in a rum barrel. It could be 1% it could be a drop.  I could put a drop of this one in a rum barrel and put the drop back in. This is what I mean like a lot of stuff is incomplete these days. Like come on man to tell a complete story. So you can't really their website isn't about wine. It's not about wine making. It's just like this made up like fictitious kind of concept somebody came up with. Now notwithstanding the wine I think actually tastes pretty good. It's definitely better than a Rex Goliath 13.5 never drink the Rex Goliath 13.0. I told you I wasn't gonna mention anymore, but that was like my my standard. So I had a theory that that the reason they need such like sophisticated packaging and marketing behind a wine.  It may just cost him a million bucks a year hire a couple millennials to do some social media and then some good graphic designers and you have a whole big marketing program that can sell I don't know 50% more bottles. I mean, it's it's well designed. I think it's kind of cool. It looks like the label is burnt. You see it's like it was on fire. Wow, that's sure. It's not real. It's fake. It's a graphic design. I don't know do people need this kind of escape from from reality to just take them somewhere for five minutes or 10 minutes to escape from from life? I don't know.  Like I have a feeling that if this proves to be successful, one of these two guys are looking at each other here, that maybe that people just are just dissatisfied nowadays with anything that's just normal. I know I'm rambling on and on here. I'm just really upset that my first cup just didn't go through and I'm kind of at the remember what what what I was talking about. But we'll get back to that.  I just I just don't understand why it's even necessary. But I think perhaps and I will, you know, admit that that there are probably people that that do fall for it. The younger generation I would suspect or the really bored anyone else. Don't waste your time and this is a good wine. I don't know yet how I'm going to feel tomorrow. I'm going to maybe check back if I if I kick this bottle, which is about halfway done. And I get into bottle two. I mean, I think it's fair. I mean, I did mention that I was going to review do these cheap one reviews based on two bottles exclusively. I may have to relax that that barometer. Because I don't think I'm going to be able to drink two of these either. I'll probably stop somewhere down here on the second one. It's like almost midnight when I'm filming this now. So we'll see we'll see what happens. Did I really talk about much here? No, no, I did spend some time talking about this brand. And I think that's kind of important to know that there are companies out there that are putting a lot of effort into the packaging and delivery of a product. And they're not even really talking. Like I said, I went on their website on this laptop here, I cannot find anything, any more information about this bottle. That kind of bugs me. I just want to know what like what they have to say about it. But like I mentioned in my first introduction blog that the wording probably is useless. Anyway, I mean, do I want to be influenced by what they they're trying to tell me what this is? Probably not. I should be my own judge and present evidence consumption after effects report. That's it. I'll come back in a little bit and we'll talk more about it. Thank you. Hey, back again. I think I'm one and a half bottles into this 19 crimes the uprising social media wine. I just wanted to add a little disclaimer here. Here's my website. Please visit it. I worked really hard at creating it. So and I didn't pay anybody to do it. I just did it myself. Number two, this wine review for this cheap, I'm sorry, 19 crimes. This cheap wine reviews. I should probably add a disclaimer saying that today's I'm filming this on a Friday in August. I had one of the worst hangovers today. And in my original introduction or the one of the first videos I did, I said I should probably not review a wine when I was hung over or had some sort of previous I said the day I should take a day off before I review wine to see the effects because the whole point of this vlog is to to see how the effects are. So I had the one of the worst hangovers in my life today. And I but I miraculously, you know, recovered very quickly because I don't eat sugar. And that helps you recover very fast. And I also take milk, thistle, and a saw palmetto and all this other I take a bunch of supplements. And I kind of recovered very quickly today.  And then all of a sudden I felt great. And here I am again, one and a half bottles of red wine in my gut already. So refreshing man. So I don't know if my review is going to be reliable in terms of how I feel tomorrow. I'm gonna probably kick kick the two bottles. It's it's it's inevitable because I get this second wind or third wind or fifth wind or whatever you want to call it. I don't know it's like 130. I have no idea what time it is. Check my computer if it's like one or two or 12 or I have no idea what time it is. I'm probably going to kick the two bottles. Now bring my camera to bed with me so I can film myself in the morning. By the way, you see these shirts, I made them myself. These are tie dyes. Anybody want to make make some for them just let me know. It's easy. I love it. And this one's cool. It's I'm not sure I like the way the white came out up here. But these tie dyes I make myself. And I what I do is I sleep in my shirt every night. I never put pajamas on. So when I wake up, that's the shirt I went to sleep in. I don't know how many people do that. And some people are like all like, tight about bed sheets.  I just go to bed.  That's it. But I may come back one more time. I think I'm not sure if there's any other anecdote I want to add to this ridiculously long review already. And by the way, one thing if you're still with me, the five people that watch my videos at this point, if you're still with me, these aren't necessarily entirely and exclusively reviews. There's a lot of commentary and whatever stream of thought that comes to my mind, included in each one of these videos. That's why I hope I can get a collection of regular viewers because it's not just about this product. Okay. There's a lot of additional aspects to what I'm talking about. Like for instance, in this particular case, it was the the social media marketing and the whole packaging of a wine. It's not just about how do you taste like who watches wine reviews anyway.  Like if there's somebody you've actually like respected their reviews, and you can rely on them. And then over time, as you build a relationship, even though you may not be an actual relationship, but it is a relationship. It's just not interactive. It's just, Hey, that person, man or woman said something that I kind of can relate to. And wow, they said something I can relate to again and again and again. And I see eye to eye with them, we have the same kind of wavelength, you know, I mean, then that's that's why you follow people. It's not I mean, a lot of times it can be echo chamber material to like right, especially with politics.  And I like what they have to say because it makes me feel like good. But this is a little bit different because I'm talking partially about a product. And now it makes me feel physically. And then I add little things in into it from such as like the marketing and I find that either interesting or fascinating or new. And I'm almost talking with you here. Because believe me, I don't, other than a couple of seeds I plant in my head, everything I say here is unscripted always. So my hope is that over time, hopefully sooner rather than later, that I can connect with people organically, hopefully, that sort of have the same kind of similar mindset or open minded enough to look at things from different angles and see the facets of what comprise a single kind of entity. It's not just this is wine and this is our app. It's like, like, let's just ask why, why are you doing it? How did that come to be? Interesting. Like, this wasn't like this 10 years ago, or what's it going to be in the future, and so on. So the purpose of this, this cheap wine reviews vlog, I mean, like maybe perhaps I have to change the the cut the title of it. But I don't want to mislead somebody because everybody's used to one thing. And if I say cheap wine reviews, God knows, I mean, for all intents and purposes, there could be a million person like audience out there who just wants 30 second wine reviews, because they want to be told what to drink and what's good. No, I have a conversation with myself and hopefully with with the viewers that there is a conversation to be had and thoughts are formed in a very, like, slow organic way. And one of the problems with with technology and social media these days is that that the old school way of work, like your concepts and your beliefs were formed. Like sometimes over years, years where you would you would waver back and forth, you'd say, I feel this, I feel that. Oh, I got some new information this person personally, physically. Oh, I saw this, I witnessed it with my own two eyes in real life.  But nowadays everybody wants everything you want to know, is this good? And then once you like start following and what a lot of people are doing out there in this world, they instantly become attracted for some almost 100% of the time 99% of the time, psychological reason, like, like somebody's like attractive, or they have slick video editing skills, or they have great soundtrack, or there's so many little features in there that'll get you to want to become attracted or gravitate towards a personality or an opinion. It's, it's disturbing to me a little bit.  And then there was a reason for the back burner, it cooks slower. You didn't rush into things. I'm fascinated by that whole thing. And I didn't mean to turn this 19 crimes wine review into a philosophical rant. But that's the beauty of doing your own production. If you don't like what I'm talking about, or if you're this is like, well, what are you talking about? You could just click it and go to go to some sort of like rap video if you want. That's fine.  That's that's all fine with me. I want to do another one of my signature steps here. I almost took too much. But I'm hoping that like my little reviews here, and I just came up with this idea actually. Originally was gonna like, I did like some seven, eight, nine minute videos. And I said, I'm gonna make it two or three minutes. And I did a Rex Goliath. There we go mentioning Rex Rex Goliath again. Video that was like three and a half minutes. Like, I don't I'm not really sure yet at this point what I want to make of this channel. I mean, I think a little a wine review with a little bit of philosophy might be if something fun to do to have a little anecdotes of real common sense and real life included in there. Like, Mr. Rogers or whatever, like a conversation with another human being. And my ideas. And I hate to bring out the laundry of like, starting a channel. And I've only this blog, this blog has only been online for five, six months, five months or so. And starting a blog in 2018 is extremely difficult. I mean, almost next to impossible. Unless you have celebrity connections, or you spend almost all your time and you have a budget to market and do influencer marketing, which I don't like, because it's not real most of the time. And it's fleeting at best.  And I have nothing to give away. I really don't have anything to give away. Hopefully, at some point in the future, I can get some sponsorships and I can give things away. Maybe there's a wine store that might help me out where I can I can attract and get the dog ears like up about because people love stuff for free. You know what I mean? So it's got this this this vlog episode is gonna be over half an hour. I'm suspecting, especially with my morning hangover report. But I speak train of thought and stream thought where we might call it. I just I just want to have some success in this in this competitive competitive environment. It's hard because I believe a lot of people like I previously alluded to, or just want short, short and easy nobody like people hardly have enough attention span to watch a show anymore. Like, remember the DVR and everybody fast forward through the commercials. Now you have binge watching, you can sit then there's no commercials. There's no commercials on Netflix. Other than like in between episodes, you may have a 30 second promo spot. I don't I'm just assuming because I haven't watched Netflix in six, seven years. Anyway, I'm rambling here. I'll come back. If I have more, more exciting drink drink updates. But I think I'm gonna kick the two bottles tonight. And I can do a real hangover review in the morning with the footnote asterisk. By the way, how many people say asterisk? asterisk asterisk. And up of the same outfit on glasses hat shirt.  Or I'm like, um, you know, it's not so bad. Just like the last the first review I said, I did a only other video I did was the first one. I said, I don't feel so bad. Anyway, hopefully, someone can find some something appealing about this idea and my personality that that you could stay with me.  We'll we'll see what happens. Hey, it's like two a.m. I just poured my last glass of this. So I've done a two bottle review. Footnote asterisk. I was really feeling really horrible today. So my review in the morning might be influenced by my previous conditions.  Um, but I think this one was good. $899 $9 plus tax 10 almost $10 a $10 bill you could give give you a couple coins in your pocket. $10 a $750 is is is way higher than we like to pay. And I didn't get into that.  Ideally, again, ideally, I like to pay $5 a bottle. That that's about 19 crimes doesn't doesn't try a 1.5. If this is 899, it's nine bucks a bottle 1499 for a 1.5 that would be nice. It's it really is a good tasting wine. It really is. I don't know. I mean, I have a feeling if I if I drink one glass beyond two bottles, I would probably throw up. I mean, I can feel that coming. It's possible that because of the last night I had, wow, not feeling so swell. Okay, actually. The whole point is, like think about it, like, you could have a lot of money, and buying a 30 or $40 bottle of wine, bottles of wine, anytime you want. Or you could have a lot of money and just want to save your money. And then there's the people that don't have a lot of money and they have to pick from from a lower end. Like that whole spectrum is fascinating to me because, you know, the haves and have nots like the have nots who don't have a ton of money are typically limited. And this is sort of what what I'm trying to get at here. We can probably buy $120 bottle of wine. But I just don't see the logic in it. And like, even if you had the money to burn, you know, some people like light money on fire. And ha ha, I have so much money, I can burn it. That's, I don't know. I mean, I don't think even if I had like $100 million in cash in my house. I don't think I would ever burn it just because I could. I mean, I think that that happens when you run out of things to do.   That's, that's just one of the most fascinating concepts I have. And I'm trying to put together a piece about that fascinating concept. Like, if everybody thought that way, you know, like, oh, yeah, it's recording good. Thank God. Jeez. If everybody thought that way.  It's just it truly fascinates me. Like, it'll be a whole new group of people dealing with there are a whole new group of problems that we probably had something to do with. But and they know nothing about it. It just it just fascinates me how each generation or 100 year chunk of people and your generations are typically 20, 20 years, 25 years, generations, you know, the millennial, what are the other generations, boomers, Generation X, Generation Z, all this other stuff. Like, nobody really thinks outside the box. Nobody like how many people like I love I asked my father he's 95 years old, okay, 95. I asked him what he did when I was a kid. How did he raise me? Like, what were the conditions in life, you know, but nobody like alive today really asks, Well, what was it like when you were around? Or there's so little like interaction between people and just getting different perspectives and viewpoints.  But I apologize that I've maybe that's that that's maybe this 19 crimes uprising wine makes you into a more philosophical person. Perhaps I'll find out how philosophical I am in the morning.  Like, why did I drink two bottles? My apologies for the ranting, but I've already said that these wine reviews, I determined tonight that the wine reviews aren't just gonna be about wine. They're gonna be about wine and philosophy. Maybe I should change the name of the channel for the people that are watching this. But I think it's a fun conversation to have to have ideas just flowing. You know what I mean? Ideas. Like, I don't have an objective here. I mean, I do sort of I'm, obviously, I have an objective thing.  But I think for the fact that I'm putting out just body of work and having a conversation with a digital screen here, this digital screen is important because there may be some like soul out there that wants to hear somebody speak with an interesting shirt like that I made by myself. Iris of some kind, a weird alien eye. But I'm sure there's someone out there that they're just like, Hey, that here's a person on the screen. And I'm curious what they have to say. And you know, there's some somebody for everybody. Like, there might be somebody that enjoys my my vernacular or my or my behavior and my body language, whatever. Or I am guessing because this is the truth, that my kind of personality, just this open minded guy that just rambles on and talks about things in a very realistic and sensible way is is on the on the low end of the scale, because I'm not a fake type person. By the way, sunglasses, the hat and the shirt. That's not this is not my style. I hate to hate to throw the good thing is only like zero people will find that out because nobody will watch the entire length of this video. But I'm only putting this on so I'm not discovered out out in the wild. I mean, I don't wear this type of hat. I don't wear these type of glasses. I don't wear this kind of shirt. This is my like, YouTube, like the skies or costume or whatever you want to call it. Everything else here is real my face. That's all. I hope that somebody can or several or many or hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people can understand that human beings make this world go around.  So satisfying to take a big gulp of wine. Anyway, I don't know how this video is going to edit out. But I drank two bottles of this 19 crimes. Well done. Bye bye. See you later. Wait, when they're a little bit left. I got it all. Two drops. And there's more in here. Look at that. Wow. Anyway, it's a good wine. Nine bucks a bottle on the high range for us. I prefer to pay like 1012 bucks tops for two bottles. This was ended up being close to $20 for two bottles. Your money, your choice. I will try and do some sort of finale. I'm gonna sleep in the shirt tonight. I'll do a finale. Do like a handheld video type thing.  I'm tired. I'm always tired. I went to bed at the crack of dawn today. 6am and I woke up at 930, three and a half hours of sleep, screaming babies.  I really am rambling, aren't I? I'm gonna turn it off now. And I'll take a picture in the morning. Hey there, morning after. I have to say that the 19 crimes wasn't so bad at all other than being tired. I'm not feeling bad at all. So it passes the two bottle test. And that's about it.


Good afternoon, good morning, good evening, wherever you are in the world. I'm Mike Lambert, I'm a fellow at the Open Group and I am chair of the Open Group Architecture Forum, the forum that was responsible for the production of the new version of the TOGAS standard. On April 16th, the Open Group made some significant announcements. We announced, first of all, a revised version of the TOGAS standard itself, version 9.2. We also announced something that we call the TOGAS library. This was quietly launched in the middle of last year, but we're now making a lot more of it because we think it is the most important thing that was actually delivered this year. And finally, we've introduced a new credentials program to complement the TOGAS certification program. And I'm going to talk a little bit more about that towards the end of this presentation. So structure of this session. First of all, I'm going to talk about the standard itself. What changes have we put into the TOGAS standard? And I'll look at areas like business architecture, the content framework and metamodel, alignment with the ISO standard and security. Then I want to move on and talk about the TOGAS library and the significance of that with this particular release. And finally, I'll talk about the impact of this version on the TOGAS certification program, particularly TOGAS certification for people. Let's start off then by looking at the standard itself. The last time the TOGAS standard was revised was as long ago as 2011. In 2011, life was very simple. We published a big thick book called the TOGAS standard version 9.1. We built a certification program based largely on the contents of the big thick book. That has given us problems. That being a single monolithic standard, hundreds of pages long is really difficult to update. It mixes. What TOGAS suggests you really must do and guidance on usage and useful tools and techniques all into a single volume. And as I said, in trying to evolve that, we have found that that gave us a problem. Almost as soon as we published version 9.1, we had a plan. We had a strategy. And our vision was that we would separate the document up into a much smaller normative core containing the essence of the TOGAS framework, supplemented by a number of documents providing guidance, and one or more documents defining tools and techniques. The idea being that each of these could evolve in their own time scale and we didn't need to move them forward in lockstep. We had a basic principle and the basic principle was nothing was going to go away accidentally. Anything in version 9.1 would either remain in the normative core or be extracted to a free standing guide or white paper or if it was going to be deleted, it would be an explicit decision. There would be a proposal and there would be consensus around that. Well, we set out on this path and we actually found that this was something which was really difficult for us to achieve in one step. And in fact, two or three years ago, we realized that this was going far too slowly and importantly, there were areas of the standard that needed to be refreshed. There were one or two errors. There were some areas which were a little bit out of date and needed modernization. There are areas where we really could do with better information. So we adopted an incremental approach. And the important thing about version 9.2 is that it is the first stage of this strategic restructure. So there's new material in it and I'm going to talk about that in a couple of slides time, but we have started the process of moving towards that strategic target. So some of the guidance material has been extracted into free standing guides and in doing it, we've taken advantage of the opportunity to revise that material. Some parts of those guides remain part of the body of knowledge for certification and I will talk a little bit more about that later. The chapters describing the architecture development method have been internally restructured to put the normative material first and the guidance later. That will help us as we continue the approach of separating out the content into these three different categories. And that process will continue with future versions. So I showed you the Togat body of knowledge in 2011. The Togat body of knowledge in 2018 is very much richer. We do have the standard sitting in the middle. The Togat standard version 9.2. But now that is surrounded by dozens of other documents providing helpful guidance and advice on how you can make practical use of that Togat standard. We call this the Togat library. I'm going to talk a little bit more about that and I'm also going to talk about that term up in the top left, Togat series guides in more detail as we move through this presentation. If you look at the Togat standard and say, well, what has changed? Actually, the changes in the standard itself are relatively modest. That's why it's only version 9.2. Not version 10 or version 2018 or what have you. The value, the extensive additional material that's been delivered has gone into this thing called the Togat library. Lots of guidance, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pages of more detailed guidance separated out into in a structured way that will help anybody who is adopting Togat to make the best use of it in their context. So let's go back to the standard itself. What has changed? In summary, there's been some significant change in the area of business architecture. We've done a lot of tidy up of the content metamodel and framework. There's new material, more up-to-date material on security. We've aligned with the latest version of the ISO, IEC, IEEE standard. We've tidied up definitions and as I've already said, we've started the process of the strategic restructure. In a one-hour webinar, I cannot describe every single change that has been put into the standard. I did a presentation on that last week in London and it lasted three and a half hours. I've had to leave something out. However, you can get a white paper, W182, which is an introduction to version 9.2 and include a complete and exhaustive list of every change that has been put in. This is free of charge and you can get it from the open group website in the publications area.
