Some Reflection and Im curious if you might want to meet?
You may have recently seen a post of mine referring to the passing of a former friend and colleague, Vijay Gill. His sudden loss shook me personally on a couple of levels. First, Vijay and I were within months of each other age-wise and the realization of that mortality has hit me pretty hard. The other is that this world (and more importantly his family) have been robbed of a wonderful human being.
I have come to understand that his passing was the result of a heart attack. Heart health has been at the epicenter of so much of the losses in my life.
So I have an open proposition to make the world a better place.
Any interest in meeting?

A little late on posting last weeks note as I have been sequestered in doing some deep strategy work at D&B.

KDE environments will be finding themselves without the milk or caffiene for their lattes. Bear Grylls takes on a different kind of fire and alot of excitement around the NFL Streaming Service!

Warning upfront – This post is a bit of a rant and ends with hope for new beginnings. But I just had to get this off of my chest.
It features my opinion of the general inelastic nature of my residential internet provider and why new services will eventually out-evolve the dinosaurs. First world, 1%er problems.

Tonight at 5pm the Biden administration will release the first image from the Webb telescope with a flurry releases starting tomorrow.
