Unitarian Jihad Name

My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Brother Neutron Bomb of Compassion.

I am wear this new name with pride and humility.

Tooting Horn...

Well, time to be a little self congratulatory. I have now lost over 100lbs. Somewhere there is another person that has vanished. I have lost about 9 inches around my waist. My hope is to be at 10 inches by the time I go on the cruise.

I need to start doing some stomach tightening exercises. Anyway, back to my regular Monday.

Anachronism?

Lately, I think I am some sort of anachronism. Either that or way out of touch with reality.

I do things and people dont understand. I say things and people dont see the same things I do. I act as I think a person should to another and I am told I am fool or wrong. I wish I knew what the hell to do.

Not to be too introspective, but I am really getting tired of it.

Yet more robots

The Japanese continue to advance robotics. Is it fluff and a toy, sure. More and more though the Japanese are developing robots. I think they will continue to lead the way in robotics to compensate for their rapidly declining population. The population projection for Japan is also very sobering. It mirrors our own in many ways. Currently, we have 12 people working for every person on Social Security. By 2020, we will have 5.

I hate to make generalizations too broad, but if you look at the declining population of the Western world(and oddly enough Japan is firmly tied itself to the Western world) the only way they will continue to remain competitive will be advances in productivity. Robots and AIs will allow that in ways that sheer manpower cannot.

Change is coming...

hrm, I might want one of these sometime

This looks cool. Not sure how practical it is, but it still looks cool.
