Less is More

UnLess.  Well unless you do not know what to do with more.  More of what?  Well for starters another yo yo woke up and announced in a monthly mag that Americans are now waking up to this amazing context.  Spend less you will save more.  More to the point his thesis more or less points to how the natives are eating less meat.  Leaving more in their bank and not to mention more animals grazing instead of being slaughtered.

His argument is about how its healthier alternative which in turn is less trips to the doctor and more time to bask in the sunshine of which there is an abundance due to global warming.  May I be the voice of reason and say that the warming is a trend largely aided by all the cow farts that are now - you guessed it - not being eaten (the fart generators not the farts you dolt).

There was once the Bra Less trend that women in particular decided would work to advertise their plight or some such and to this day there is marketing and packaging that benefits from it.  Walk into any mall and it has massive signage followed by a Secret store that is not so secret what with all the massive signage and almost nude mannequins showing how less bra is more cleavage..

E-wallets promise to further reduce our need for leather as in those wallets that carried all the cash, leaving more cows more time to graze and ruminate,  chew the cud and also giving them extra time to regurgitate as they are wont to do.

You now have tank less water heaters so you get more hot water esp getting into hot water is your idea of fun.

You get the drift.  The less I say about this now the more it will make you think!

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...

A few good books

 On an informal mission to read one book a week as long as the eyes allow for such ambition. Fiction or non is not important as long as it entertains and /or educates. To that end the past few weeks have brought a bounty in the form of some wonderful and then not so engaging literature. Among the notables are - Non fiction category: 1. Good arguments by Bo Seo (how to handle a dispute or debate the most efficient way possible) 2. Genesis by Eric Schmidt (and former US Secy of State Henry Kissinger, who recently passed) - how AI might affect our lives as we know it 3. One in a billion - Zarna Garg (an autobiographical look at an Indian born American woman with a bindi narrated in a standup format - yes it is at times cliched but still funny) Fiction: 1. Personal by Lee Child (a vigilante story with Jack Reacher the giant, nomad protagonist of Child's novels goes hunting for a sniper) 2. Ramayana unraveled by Ami Ganatra (she might disagree about it being a work of fiction but oh wel...

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...
