Day of Mourning

I live in California and today I felt saddened by what the media reported..this is not what I live for. 1. Rice contains arsenic and consuming it daily is going to kill me soon - now I have to go back to downing more alcohol by skipping all the fermentation that I was doing naturally by eating rice daily; 2. Zuckerberg is now the 36th richest (not paying attention or taxes) dude amongst all dudes and dudettes that live - see I hate to see my state lose the top 10 ranking in anything including the number of richest dudes in the state - cramps my style; 3. Neither contender for the top job as Pres has what it takes to fix this mess we are in..we are not even sure what we need.. for that matter we are stuck trying to define what a need is. Indeed. 4. There will be no shuttle - not the cock - the one that flies further than the cock variety - to the Intl Space Station and back. Last one is coming to roost in Los Angeles - interested parties can watch it fly piggy back on a Boeing (shuttle not the parties) in their neighborhood if they are part of the 99% and therefore jobless. There will however be parties to celebrate that last flight. 5. 99% of something believers celebrated a year of rallying and vigils about their dissatisfaction with something that is 1% of some other thing. On a separate note Romney announced knowledge of some other 47% that are neither the 99% or the 1% since the latter is physically impossible. The other 53% agreed that such comments were 100% moronic. I have 0% energy left to discuss anything anymore.

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...

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...
