Filing Taxes

I am not sure who files? Maybe a blacksmith? Maybe accountants? Maybe salons (as in people's cuticles); Maybe dentists (people's enamel)? I submmitted my earning and expenses to the government is what I did. There again like I have ranted before I am not sure why. As in why does the government want to disturb my peace and quiet to have me tell them what they already know. They get a full account of my monetary goings on the moment it happens. So why burden the poor soul(s)? It is retarded like many a thing in this country. I vote that its a jobs bill. How else could these accountants account and filers file? Not many happy returns but those that give grief. To provide income to those grotesque liberty tax funded 'lady liberty costume' wearing clowns by the roadside who will earn and not report because its not worth reporting. How else would there be bipartisan politicking and immense dollars to fund campaigns and lobbies and the like? How else could software be sold and taxes collected if it was not for the arcane tax code? Even the best cryptologists will find the US tax code cumbersome to the point where they may want to crawl into a crypt. Ideally I would like to see my taxes 'filed' if anything else to the point where there are none. Revert to my earlier pedagogical diatribe on how private enterprise can sufficiently manage the act of capital allocation.

    Maybe like the class act in India before they pay pension amounts, you have to prove you are alive by filing. So they don't feel like a dead duck when they pay your tax refund.

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...

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...
