I believe that there is a purposeful propaganda war being directed against Google and Facebook.

I am not sure who is behind it, but the Russians and Chinese both would have strong interest in doing so.

Right now, there is a huge controversy over the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court Justice. This is a enormously important political issues as it will shape Supreme Court decisions for decades.

I am a social liberal and a fiscal conservative… which in today’s political environment means I am very opposed to both parties in some ways and very supportive of certain policies.… read more “Kavanaugh Confirmation”

I firmly believe in free market capitalism,but I also believe in accountability for companies.

Companies that commit certain types of crimes should receive the death penalty and be broken up and sold piecemeal to ethical companies. Shareholders should lose everything. Executives and managers should get hard prison time.

For example, a company Theranos should be shut down, all executives and board members sent to prison, and shareholders take a total bath on their investment.… read more “Corporate Execution”

In my opinion, golf club official fittings are mostly a waste of money. I think that they are a way to push expensive clubs on golfers that they don’t really need.

I am a fairly new golfer and have tried a few fittings. Here is the results:

• Titleist did a free fitting of their clubs. They said I should have 1 degree upright lie, and 0.5 – 1 inch length extension on the irons.

Larry Page has been out of the public eye and hasn’t bothered defending Google in Congress. My guess is he has built true general AI and no longer cares about mortal human matters.

I had a serious knee injury on June 2nd. I was in the hospital until June 16. I started gimping along without crutches a little around June 25, and walking a little again by July 1st and got my stitches out around then.

I started to run shortly thereafter and have been improving my pace since then, here is a sampling:

• July 23 – 1.6 miles in 22 minutes (fastest mile 12:52)
• July 31 – 4.5 miles in 44 minutes (fastest mile 11:06)
• Aug 18 – 4 miles in 44 minutes (fastest mile 10:07)
• Sept 5 – 4 miles in 44 minutes (fastest mile 9:27)
• Sept 15 – 4 miles in 39 minutes (fastest mile 8:37)

My goal for this year was to reach a 6:00 mile pace by the end of it in outdoor running.… read more “Regaining My Health”

I’m playing out at Heartwell today. I think I am starting to figure out how to shape my shots. To draw, have the face more inwards and the path in to out. To fade have the face outwards and the path out to in. I can draw better with a grip rotated clockwise, the ball back in my stance, and by shifting weight towards my heels in my backswing.… read more “Golf today… How to draw vs fade”

I believe in only looking at the real world evidence in order to determine life philosophies and how best to live life… Not following your chakra or cult leader or book or pastor or what the crystals tell you.

There is a vast difference between real world peer reviewed research and the random and self admittedly not evidence based ideas of the millions of charlatan mystics out there.… read more “Morning Religious Debate”

One important thing I’ve needed to learn is that in order to be successful you cannot nurse grudges. Many people have really been dishonest or unethical in working with me and sometimes I’ll fantasize about all sorts of outlandish destruction for them. However, time spent on that sort of thing is almost always a waste of emotional energy.… read more “Acceptance”

I have gone through a number of sports hobbies through the years – I spent several years rock climbing, a couple of years doing Crossfit, a couple of years playing flag football. I enjoy finding fun activities instead of doing a mundane gym workout.

My newest sport is golf. I just started a couple of months ago, but try to get some practice in most days.… read more “Business & Golf”
