It seems my recent post on the Omicron in Israel was overly pessimistic. It now appears that it is indeed much less severe than the Delta, although very infectious. Maybe this is what we have been waiting for. Everyone will get infected, although most may not even know it. Omicron may be the read to … Continue reading

The Announcement I wish Joe Biden Would Make
I wrote on Facebook a few days ago that I thought Joe Biden was failing at the tasks he faces. Lots of people defended Biden saying he is doing his best. That he was dealt a bad hand etc. I wrote back that none of that matters. That we had less than a year to … Continue reading
Report from Israel-I am getting a fourth vaccination
The bad news is the Omicron variant is very contagious. I was hoping that it would be less severe, but I fear the data does support this. The good news is that it will be over soon because everyone will either get infected and/or vaccinated. The scary part is what may happen to the hospital … Continue reading
Will we still have microprocessors in fifty years?
The first Microprocessor was born 50 years ago (the Intel 4004). I suspect it would not have been possible to conceive of the possibility of the Microprocessor fifty years earlier back in 1971. It would take another 25 years before the first computer would be developed in 1945. Thinking about this made me wonder if … Continue reading
My most outrageous blog post ever

I have watched with interest and concern how various governments, institutions, and people have dealt with this challenge.

Traveling in the Time of Covid
Since the age of 18, when I left San Francisco as a merchant marine and sailed to Asia, I have traveled extensively through the world. It was not always easy. The virus put a dent in that early in 2020, and I am just recovering from those restrictions. Right now, my wife and I are … Continue reading
These are the good old days
. Lately, I have been feeling very pessimistic about the future of humanity because we have so many daunting challenges ahead of us. But, generally, the leaders of most countries are only interested in their own power and do not want to take the required actions. I suggest you read this thoughtful article by Richard Heinberg, … Continue reading
Thinking Outside the Coffin
There is a famous saying, “think outside the box.” It means not thinking traditionally. Some people (I am one) are described as people who can think outside the box. Generally, it is thought of as a positive trait in the abstract, but it is often discouraged in reality. I call this kind of thinking “thinking … Continue reading
Saif Mansour
Saif Mansour, an amazing man, died suddenly a few days ago. Soon after I left Intel in 1999 and started The Avram Miller Company, I got a letter from Saif (we still got letters in those days). He was just 21 and finishing his last year at Brown. Saif asked me to consider hiring him … Continue reading
