Biden just drove by our neighborhood in San Francisco.

Crazy prediction:
- Trump goes to jail on Federal charges
- Biden won, and offers to pardon him if:
- Pass an amendment that disqualifies felons from holding any office
- Pass an amendment that effectively reduces the quantity of guns

Well, look at this! They are already trying to do it!

Stolen from Ian Bremmer's tweet:

Effects and their Causes

Costs <-- Failures

Failure <-- Problems

Problem <-- Bad Processes or Conditions

Better products and services fix bad processes and bad conditions.

This is why companies buy new and improved goods and services.

New idea: De-mining, autonomous drones

Drone (probably a rather large one) is fitted with a metal-detecting coil. It is set loose over a battlefield that is probably mined.
Drone runs a pattern over the field and transmits coordinates of where it detected any metal.

Another drone with a more precise metal-detecting coil searches out the hits and gathers more precise data, including photos.

Another drone is dispatched with grenades to hit the mines that are found.

New idea (that could save lives):
Thermite toting, AI-vision drones.
A little drone is programmed to find the barrel of a tank using an off-the shelf machine-vision camera. It inserts a thermite charge into the barrel and it is set off. The thermite melts into the barrel and causes enough damage that it cannot be used. Or, if it is used, will cause a premature explosion of the shell.
It is sent at night, so the MV camera is tuned to infra red.

@Render ?

9 days without alcohol
On a healthy, low calory diet.
Getting over 7 hrs of sleep each night.
9 lbs down.

Feeling really good.

Scary how different this feels from "normal".

Yikes!

I spent all weekend painting things at my shop using a sprayer. Lots of metallic silver/gold. All for the wife's vision of redecorating the living room and bedroom.

Exhausting.

Feels so good to just sit down and type on a keyboard.

Damn, this is both well written and entertaining.

Big turnout during the event launching this project.
Very insightful documentary as well.

Hey San Franciscans, please take a look at this letter that has been written by TogetherSF to encourage local politicians to fund solutions to the addiction and homelessness programs. The text can be read before you submit. Please also pass it along.

Life hack:
After drinking half of your morning coffee, scoop in some chocolate collagen supplement and fill it back up with hot water.

Delicious.

Moonrise over San Francisco tonight

I just spent three days doing a tutorial on Angular software development.

I don't think I'm going to be any good at this for a while.

I actually think I'm about about to do something really stupid like start developing a website using Angular.

I should really start with a glass of wine.
