Monday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Russell Wilson wants to be a starter in the NFL and also wants to stick it to the Broncos who cut him. That's why I think he signs with the Raiders who play Denver twice a year and just have to pay him the league minimum of $1.31 million) with the Broncos paying the balance). Pittsburgh is the betting favorite to sign him right now but still say Las Vegas is the best fit... Congrats to Dolph Lungren, perhaps the most talented and smartest man in Hollywood, on becoming a US citizen.... Russia denied Olympic participation on appeal. Wonder if they'd be welcome at Peter Thiel's steroids Olympics?... The NFL is raising the salary cap by $30 million to $255.4 million per team while at the same time laying off 200 employees. I'm of two minds on this. This isn't the action of a successful venture yet Elon Musk shed 75% of the jobs at Twitter and saw the product improve... Fred Lynn sets the record straight on his departure from Boston. Not the story most of us grew up with... There’s a quote by Daymond John I saw recently that says, ”If you go out there and start making some noise and making sales, people will find you. Sales cure all.” When I first started out in technology and started by own company I firmly believed it was possible to sell yourself out of any problem. More revenue equaled fewer problems. Still not sure I was wrong… On this day in 1616 in history the Catholic Church officially prohibits Galileo from spreading the belief that the Earth rotates around the Sun and not the other way around. The infallible Pope turned out very fallible in this case… The CIA created the term "conspiracy theorist" 60-years ago to describe anyone who didn't think the Kennedy assassination was killed by a single man acting alone... So it’s 2024 and it’s widely accepted that Covid came from a lab leak in China, Google Gemini AI is hot garbage, and the Joe Biden is a crook with dementia. Anything I’m leaving out?… Is there anything bacon can’t do?…
