Looks like this was another mediocre month. I didn't accomplish a great deal. I did relax, so that is something.

I have come to a conclusion that I do not wish to go back to the casino and work my 20 hours a week-end. I know financially it would be the wise choice, but this isn't about money anymore. I have enough to live. This is one hump I never was able to get over, but now that I have lived long enough to receive my monthly Social Security check, I can survive. Thriving is going to be something I have to create. I can't do that slaving away in the casino.

The smoke is killing me. The working environment is sucking the life out of me. The time I have left is at a premium.
I can't waste it any longer.


This is a good article -- Dimon and Buffett Get Last Laugh.

Being someone who took a clean shot to the nuts, I can appreciate the tone of this story. I can say this. I did lose money but it wasn't out of ignorance. I like the action. I know a shot when I see one. I had a chance but I didn't pull my chips off the table soon enough. I didn't lose any money I could not afford to piss away. I do not take pleasure in parting with money I had to bust my ass to acquire, but it happens

I still have skin in the game. I am on a one to two year horizon. The streets are ankle deep in blood. Now is a time to buy if you ever considered playing the digital currency card.

While I am on the subject, another good read here -- 21-Year Old American Purported SIM Swapper Arrested for Alleged Theft of $1 Mln in Crypto.

One of Truglia's alleged SIM-swapping victims, San Francisco-based Robert Ross, was allegedly robbed of $500,000 worth of crypto holdings on his Coinbase wallet "in seconds" on Oct. 26, and at the same time a further $500,000 was taken from his Gemini account. West said the $1,000,000 was his "life savings" and two daughters' college fund.
The risks involving digital currency are far flung. People don't know what they are getting into.


I wanted to make this post in memory of Aaron Swartz's birthday. I am late, but better late than never.
People forget too easily the work that has been done to protect the rights of other people. In this digital world we are slowly getting sucked into, these rights are taking on the shape and forms of digital rights. Aaron saw this coming. He tried to warn people. His death by suicide was suspicious at the time. It still is, but people have forgotten this.

Please take the time to watch this video documentary on the contributions he made to the WWW. It was substantial.

The Internet's Own Boy -- The Story of Aaron Swartz

Aaron Hillel Swartz was an American computer programmer, entrepreneur, writer,
political organizer, and Internet hacktivist.
Born: November 8, 1986, Highland Park, ILT
Died: January 11, 2013, Brooklyn, New York City, NY
Cause of death: Suicide by hanging


CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WEAU) -- An infant in Chippewa County is dead and a 10-year-old girl is the main suspect.
A $50,000 cash bond was set for the girl in Chippewa County Court Monday morning.

District Attorney Wade Newell said the girl was in foster care at a home in Tilden,
which also served as an in-home daycare, on October 30th.
That's where Wade said the girl accidentally dropped the 6-month-old baby boy.

Wade said the girl told investigator the boy hit his head on a stool and started crying.
At that point Wade said the girl panicked causing injuries that resulted in the infant's death.

Wade explained, "She stated she was holding the child and that's when she dropped the child.
The child hit its head on the footstool and then the child started crying and she panicked
and didn't know what to do and didn't want to get into trouble and then she proceeded to stomp on the 6 month-old's head."

In court the D.A. said a medical pathologist believed the child's injuries were consistent
with a fall and also said the tread marks on the child's head match that of the suspect's shoes.

Let me see if If I have this story straight. This 10 year old girl accidently dropped a baby, and it started to cry.
She didn't want to get in trouble for an accident, so she decided to kill the baby instead.

This world keeps getting sicker by the moment.


I have been granted a leave of absence from my present employer. I will return to work January 4, 2019. This is a blessing. I have two months to regain my sanity, and finally get down to some serious computer science business. I keep kicking this can down the road, and time is running out. If I don't accomplish what I have been trying to accomplish all these years now, I never will.
