World Politics

My understanding of any type of politics = Zero.  I know that I know nothing to quote a famous greek.  With that liberating disclosure I can proceed to expound on matters of gravitas that people with inflated egos have been churning out ad nauseum.

Based on recently released hot air below are the headlines.


  • Kim of North Korea has the world by its genitals.
  • Kim of North Korea has a change of heart and is weeping after noticing his people dying - low end vinegar spoiled all the 'Kimchi' causing food poisoning.
  • Kim shows the world media he has launched missiles.
  • Kim has called the Americans to come watch him blow up his bomb making labs.
  • Kim has the best hackers who can create any video they want and hack wherever, whenever.
  • Therefore one can conclude that Kim actually has never owned anything except cheap looking polyester suits and walmart style black glass frames (with no glass in it) and is putting up a fake melodrama for the world press to come and video tape.  He is simply going to blow up a bunch of dirt painted to look like bombs.  That is his calculus.  Notice both words - gravitas and calculus are thrown in for no apparent reason other than to inflate my ego.
In other news - An emissary went to Washington from Pyongyang.
  • Kim sent a letter to Trump asking if he wants a gluten free meal when they meet in Singapore.
  • Kim wants to shop in Singapore or his wife will divorce him.
  • Trump wants to shop in the same store that Kim will be shopping so he can show him how his new trade policy is making it easier to buy things made in the USA but in a mall in Singapore.
  • Therefore they end up buying Kirkland /Costco branded hot dogs on the cheap like never before and take that to the party.
  • Another part of the note asked Donald to bring the American Kim to the party.  Kardashian declined.  There was no room for two Kim sized egos.

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...
