Was Jesus Chinese?

Today is April 1.  It is also Easter Sunday.

What better time than today to discuss what may have been.  As in where did Jesus come from?  More importantly where did Jesus go?  And then where did he come back from?  What is the meaning of the word 'Easter'?

Such vexing questions are answered in the recent archeological digs in Beijing.  Now for those uneducated about what that is - it is the capital of China a large country in Asia.  Formerly called Peking it is where today's culinary delight like Peking Duck was born.  Not the actual duck which perished long ago but the name of the dish.

Now my readings of the archeological findings suggest that Easter comes from the fact that Jesus in fact was reborn on this Sunday (there was a Wi Fi enabled clock that was found in the digs showing the day stuck on Sunday 0/0/0000)  as well as some holy DNA found near a cave in Beijing (not to mention that there are still some holes in the theory).

To the uninformed Beijing is East of Jerusalem (Jesus' first abode).  Hence the phrase Easter Sunday.  Hence credence to the fact that Jesus was by second birth basically Chinese.

There has been debate on whether he actually had gone from Jerusalem and made his way all the way to Peking in 3 days but considering they had wifi back then although spotty (part of the reason he left the cave) suggests they also had high speed transport along the former wooded route (later called the Silk Road) where he found some duck to eat. So that suggests the bunny idea is a mere marketing ploy crafted by Hershey and Nestle to dupe the modern day kids and sell all the chocolate that they made after they stole the cacao pods from Africa.

In fact some crackpot researchers have gone on to doubt and debate the Peking idea suggesting in fact he made it to Kiev which is due north of Jerusalem (blaming it on a bad compass when Jesus in fact wanted to go east- after all that is where Buddha came from and he wanted to go learn his ideas).  Kiev is capital of modern Ukraine.  He therefore it claims feasted on Chicken Kiev another folklore dish popular today.  Again no bunnies.

That said it is confirmed that the bunny and Easter associations are false and that Jesus certainly was a Mandarin speaker.

Then again this could all be an April Fool's joke?

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...

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...
