I try to keep my blog from being too political, but I sometimes can’t help myself, especially regarding Trump or Netanyahu. I am not sure this post is that political. It attempts to explain why bankruptcy could be in Trump’s future. Trump made his fortune at first from real estate and later as a TV … Continue reading

How a third party can put Trump back in the White House
Writing this post reminded me of how screwed up the US electoral system is. It is essential to understand how the presidential election works.

Space War, the latest fight for eyeballs
This post is about my thoughts regarding the evolution of virtual and argument reality. I recently wrote about Apple’s Vision Pro (I was not enthusiastic).

What do I want to do with my last ten years of life?
I have been thinking about death a lot recently, and in particular, my death. It seems that you’re not supposed to talk about your future demise. It makes people uncomfortable.

It was close to midnight. I went to an after-hours club on Bush Street (San Francisco) run by a Chinese woman. I was with my Japanese girlfriend, who and her twin sister were singers at a Japanese Club not that far away in Japan Town. Like her, I was 18 years old. It was 1963. … Continue reading
How Nethanyhu’s need for power results in the destruction of Israel
The situation in Israel is tearing me apart. I love Israel but despise the current government. It appears that Netanyahu will do anything, and I mean anything, to stay in power. He was only form a coalition by bringing in the most extreme elements, and there are many. He formed a coalition with right-wing fanatics … Continue reading
