LOL. SMH. ROFL. ETC. The western ideas of pursuing something intangible has been packaged and sold the world over.  Not unlike some religion trying to sell its ideology to gain access to virgins or whatever suits your lifestyle. The very idea of happiness and its pursuit came to a grinding halt with Covid. It seems within weeks the pursuer became the pursued. With the pandemic the stark statistics of where the bug spread shows lazier, poorer nations getting ahead of the curve or parabola or whatever shape we are calling it.  These guys knew they had a crappy healthcare apparatus and could never cope so they just told their junta to take an extended break - not alike what they are used to except now on steroids... HOLIDAY!  More tea please. Compare and contrast to the western or what are mostly thought of as advanced and richer nations - it showed their economies faltered.  Underlying thesis for that was pure hubris. A simple misplaced belief that we hav...

LOL. I got to thinking - you know idle mind and all. How are sales of Corona beer these days?  What with the Chinese malady being labeled coronavirus. Is there a virus in the bottle baby?   No crooner can make this shit up. What can Mcafee do?  Such questions come to mind.  Is there any intel inside? Coronavirus is just another genetic mutation that uncontrolled human growth begat for its brethren as it is wont to do time and again.  Few of our species will die as yet another microorganism takes control for a period of time until human ingenuity quashes its spread.  And the two football stadium sized hospitals that China is standing up in record time to house what it thinks will be thousands of patients. Meantime people are freaking out. From global stocks to local clinics and chat groups the phrase has lit up emotion and runs to the clinic. I was surprised to see an article actually claiming some of our species think that the virus is i...

Getting a virus was bad news.  In some cases it still is.  Think AIDS, Ebola, Hanta etc...not good. Of course there are those kinds that infect all known computing devices - from large mainframes to handheld devices - also causing serious side effects.  Getting rid of said viruses is big business. Then there is like this thing with like the new generation...where things you think or better yet would not even think of go viral.  Encouraging all to partake in this virology rather than eradicating it is also big business. Anything is fair game... a bagger in a store to cat clawing the heck out of a carpet to someone taking a dump on a highway or repeatedly vomitting... Access to technology in the hands of new generation - created by some of the best minds in Silicon Alley is causing massive amounts of data pollution that transcends all known logic. At the end of the day - all this twitting, facing, gramming and tumblering is so bizzare that it c...

This is not the name of a new saint nor a new pill for erectile dysfunction or to aid in digestion. Rather the three headline grabbing items in the past week. Start with BABA.  A new stock symbol for the world.  A Chinese school teacher who through enterprise and some luck created the world's largest online marketplace called Alibaba.   So now a famous Arabian nights character that not many knew about is made into a household name by a Chinese man going public on the NY stock exchange.   At least popular among those household's that delve into somebody's stock.  A 'khul ja sim sim' moment as the world awaited with bated breath (or whatever version of breath they were breathing) for the equity to begin trading on the exchange. Just like each decade has its blockbuster event - in the 70s it was ABBA for the 10s of this century it is BABA - the largest initial public offering by market capitalization. Initial public included all the black sheep in all familie...
