Some things in life are difficult and others not. Ever since the invention of the microchip (1971) we have been literally racing along exponentially with the invention and evolution of all things electronic. The correlation between how fast we can do something and how fast we can do something good is not a 1 to 1 . . . → Read More: Vuvuzela & CPU

Where to start? It is so true that as human beings emotions do rule, and true emotion has no words. Images and associations achieve to conjure and communicate where words fail, and that is why life and its experiences are so valuable. There are so many emotions that punctuate a new day, a new dawn. That . . . → Read More: Pregnant with possibilities. There is a common saying that there will always be more questions than answers. At some point should be stop asking questions so that the answers can catch up? We are creatures of habit, and habits get more embedded the longer we nurture them and get comfy with them. Comfort is a nice place and in . . . → Read More: More answers…. For some time now I have been sensing a growing anxiety in the population in regard to personal safety, and rightly so. In my own case I have been the victim of robbery at knife point at high noon on a busy street and several incidents of theft and home invasions have occurred on my street. . . . → Read More: Bogeyman Reflections of Fidel
THERE is no alternative but to call things by their name. Anyone with minimal commonsense can observe without much effort how little realism remains in the current world. When United States President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Michael Moore stated “Now please earn it!” That witty comment pleased . . . → Read More: The insanities of our era There are words in any language that we are aware of but pay very little attention to; and in the current Election climate I have become acutely aware of the numerous distractions that are employed in order to serve to steer our gaze away from troubling areas. Wikipedia uses the following definition of the word: “Distraction is . . . → Read More: Distraction Like it or not, we are driven by chemicals in our bodies and brains. Some occur naturally and some are artificial. The “triggers” may be somethings that we see, hear, eat, drink, inhale, inject, touch or even intangible thinks like thoughts, beliefs, imagination etc.. It really does not matter, the results are the same; our body . . . → Read More: We are all addicts! Reflections of Fidel AS the Revolution celebrated its 51st anniversary two days ago, memories of that January 1st of 1959 came to mind. The outlandish idea that, after half a century — which flew by — we would remember it as if it were yesterday, never occurred to any of us. During the meeting at the Oriente sugar . . . → Read More: The world half a century later I honestly think that we will never know, because we are even being brainwashed into thinking that we are not. Our lives are full of instances where “what we see is not what we get.” Marketing has always been credited with being able to “sell ice to an Eskimo” and the “snake oil salesman” and of . . . → Read More: Just how “Brainwashed” are we? There are many factors that contribute to a specific state. There are a few conditions that are currently creating problems in Trinidad (deliberately leaving out Tobago, since they are a bit different) one of which is the high crime rate and general lawlessness and corruption. There is a culture in Trinidad that everything must be easy to . . . → Read More: Linkages We live in a world today where everything can be justified because we observe “multiple standards” at any given time for every conceivable situation. What that means is that the question of right and wrong is far from being clear cut. These shifting personal standards have once again questioned some fundamental questions with shifting answers. Do . . . → Read More: Multiple Standards Has technology pushed our capacity as humans too far and subsequently forces us to try and operate beyond our natural abilities? This is the basic premise and I will attempt to dissect it with specific observations on various topics. All of us experience “information overload” when we realise that there is such a vast amount of . . . → Read More: Over Capacity? We have reached a point in our IT evolution where effective utilisation of our existing technologies is probably about 10% – 20% and is probably compliant with the 80/20 rule. Why is there a constant stream of new hardware and software if 80% of all technology is being used 20% of the time and 20% of . . . → Read More: What next? I simply have to take a break from exploring the wealth of information available on the internet to pause and digest some of it. It is simply overwhelming! In the interest of not adding to the “information confusion” on the internet, I would like to let you know about http://getmiro.comwhich is simply an amazing place that . . . → Read More: Information/General Awareness Whatever your beliefs, it does not hurt to read all . . . → Read More: Fidel Castro on the 5th Summit of the Americas I have just witnessed a calamity in computation at the end of the first ODI of the West Indies vs England in Guyana. Using the D/L method for computing scores the West Indies chose to stop the game short and ended up losing the game by 1 run (their own computation was incorrectly showing that they won)! . . . → Read More: Check and double check! There are at least two sides to everything. Making money is not only about increasing income, but also about decreasing expenses. There are many expenditures that lead to increased opportunity to realise revenue, and as such we always have to look at various terms and angles.
