Puzzles and Riddles

Is UNESCO dead? Don't hear much about them anymore. If a famous author gets arrested do the publishers immediately issue a recall and update the bio to reflect - He now lives at Rikers Island Maximum Security Prison with his dog Fondue. If at any point the earth implodes where will all the (airborne) planes land? When is P&G inventing diapers for dogs? I am sick of people behaving badly. Can Bill Gates just walk up to the UN and one day buy Antarctica, Africa and Australia and be done with it? Then he can call it the Gated Compound and it would be easy for dumb kids in school to memorize only 5 continents. In fact if he is feeling really chipper he can partner with Buffett and they can pretty much buy the rest of the continents and a whole lot of bullshit history and geography will go out of school curriculums. The Gates Buffet Empire will rule planet earth and that is that. I am sick and tired of keeping track of different currencies and moronic governments and their flags and their kings and their queens and their stupid cultures. Most of all the idiocy of the EuroZone. Earth is run by Gates - Buffett and that is it. One flag (if you are picky) - one name - one planet - one rule. Screw the rest of the idiots. If you don't like it you are booted out to the Gates Space Station or optionally put to death (you get a choice of three ways to end it at no cost to you). Lets get creative folks and use all those billions wisely!

    Maybe that's what the 2012 prophecy is all about..the end of the world as we know it!

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...

Of Jims and Johns

Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...

On the go(zay masta) in Japan again

Cool cat the Japanese are Tokyo at dusk  My second visit to this land of the rising sun after almost a decade. Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...
