Kale and Kombucha

Could pass of as a limited liability partnership of accountants or bail bondsmen in Kampala, Uganda with Messrs Kale (a person of Maharashtrian origin and therefore more cerebral) and Kombucha (the muscle) teaming up in a good guy, bad guy routine.

But it is far from it.  Kale pronounced as Kail is a green leafy vegetable that has had a resurgence in the American health market as a super nutrient with loads of vitamins that might do someone good.  While a staple of some European diets in varying forms its recent entry as a superfood that can be consumed as a juice (assuming consumee has the right tools to juice a leaf) has drawn interest from a lot of yoga pant wearing crowd.

Add Kombucha to this.  This one is a mystery ingredient that is essentially a fermented goop arising from bacteria working on either tea or some form of seaweeds to produce what may be another cancer fighting wonder drug.

These two K's are now the new killer breed of bottled wonders that has America on the coast going bonkers.  I am not sure if folks in the Ozarks or the plains consume this stuff.  I know they do not drive Teslas.

Our government might be well served to ignore minting a trillion dollar coin to avert debt crises for now and invest in Kale and Kombucha futures as a means of jacking up another bubble in the commodities space.

Build large vaults that can freeze both ingreditents in volume rather than cooling data centers and we will be set.

I for one is going to now go and eat myself a large Haagen-Dazs - which is not a Dutch cake rather a popular brand of American made ice cream.

Costa Rica

 Our first foray into Central America. That elongated isthmus that forms the geographic boundary between two vast continents of North and South America. Specifically landing for NYE 2026 in San Jose, Costa Rica. Capital city for this region that does not have its own army, instead relying on its big bro the Estados Unidos to the north is a metropolis of approx. 500K people. Largely wilderness and with both a Pacific and Carribean/Atlantic coast the country is rich in bio diversity. In Spanish it means the rich coast so named by Columbus landing in early 16th century and being mesmerized by the local tribes sporting gold jewelry.   Our stay included visiting the foothills of a large strato volcano called Arenal and enjoying the naturally heated thermal baths for a while.  Lunching amidst lush forest and watching indigenous species of avian noise makers fly overhead. Toucans, some sort of pea hens, multiple song bird species completed the spectacle. Iguanas and a lonel...

Charges attract

It is said that opposites attract meaning people with contrary viewpoint sometimes find chemistry to be together.  But I'm referring to a modern twist where people are merely attracted towards a common place because their uber communication device aka smart phone is about to die.  The charging station. From airports to hotel lobbies or even bathrooms, when in need they are attracted to this power outlet like moths to a flame or a junkie to a needle. A whole new business of supplying these hyper connected folks is now born whose lifesaver product is a backup charge. Asian tourists perpetually carry a phone sized battery pack stuck to their latest Apple phone updating their status to folks in Hong Kong or Shanghai or Bangalore as they pose for selfies with weird facial expressions and fingers pointed out in a letter V. Vain? PS:  I dis'charged' my blogger duties making this insightful observation as my phone is about to breathe it's last and my flight gets call...

Back in DC

This time for a tech conference in the realm of what else? AI. But applied to an oft neglected space called Knowledge Management. The latter is a community of practice that focuses on analyzing, organizing and making available reams of data that have been gathered over time by various functions within an organization for anyone in the company to utilize. This function or process is ripe for applying AI agents (or agentic AI framework) and optimize for better outcomes. It was informative. More rewarding was getting acquainted with folks who practice this craft as well as learning of what they see in the corporate or public sectors. Since the venue was Washington DC it also afforded me the chance to take evening strolls albeit the weather was trying. With wind chill in the single digit it still is a glamorous place to perambulate through history absorbing what this country has been through since its founding days. I was able to visit the place Lincoln was killed along with his monument t...
