Euro Scam

One thing I noticed happening with regular frequency during this whole Euro Zone crisis is how many times the leaders of the socialist nations have traveled back and forth across their borders. With no results to measure.

It reminds me of the useless high end consulting crowd (stateside) that also does this same trick by traveling to and fro to their client sites each week and spin the same useless yarn again but with a new shirt and tie on. After all its perception in the eyes of the beholder. Cannot wear the same shirt or bra you see?

As these clueless talking heads bob around the continent they get a chance to get away from their own manic or depressed or both populace - the Greeks are probably cheering and will continue to enjoy the entertainment they offer to the world as it yo yos out of control.

Now what they could really do is book an oversize handicap toilet (the likes of which you see in any McDonalds in the US) where you could gather at least seven or eight people and play cards all night. Then these dolts should be locked in such a chamber so they could do their biological deeds too and not leave till they came out with a clean plan (and other clean items) to put this mess behind.

They can pick a neutral turf (one flight in - one out) like say IOWA (they have supersize toilets esp for handicaps) and lock em up. Feed them the best the US has to offer - ANGUS DOUBLE CHEESE BURGERS with extra onions so the stink they raise will also hasten the decision making.

McDonald share holders will also cheer the proceedings and be rewarded by an extra dose of dividends as they sell rights to all the international TV crews to film the scene of a closed bathroom door for hours. Reality TV at its best. Flushing will be broadcast live to an estimated audience of 1 Billion idiots on the planet. Only McD can decide who to sell advertising spots to.

Perhaps there could be Vegas bets on who needs to use the john the most (with an unbiased observer giving the count after the match is over). Now there is a Job for a John!

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...

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...

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...
