Private Parts

Today we are faced with a dilemma.

To those that think it is a dilemma.

Every time a person stands for high office he or she gets scrutinized.  Most times than not the lead contender gets slapped with the most basic and yet poignant accusation.  He or she groped me.  Reached into my privates and violated me.  Mostly it is a man doing the groping.  Of a female.

Biden is up for nomination of the Democrats.  He is also facing this ultimate test.

Trump for his part was caught on a hot mike discussing explicit behavior he would recommend when in the company of the opposite sex.

We all know about Clinton and Kennedy and many many more in all the spheres of influence.

But amidst all this Me Too coverage I find something more fundamental not being discussed.  Is America's moral compass completely and utterly broke?  Can it even be repaired?  Is THIS OUR NEW NORMAL?

At this point if this is the best we got are we really the Best Place To Be?

Add to all this with the embarrassment of riches (the trillions our Fed can print) and the capricious behavior from our commander made evident with the Covid shellacking, I cringe every time a politician or business leader or media air head goes on live TV to say we are the Best Country or the Richest Nation on earth.

WTF does that mean?

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...
