I Just Watched “Hidden camera investigation: Best Buy electronics (Marketplace)” on YouTube
This is a Canadian show titled “Marketplace” where they act as a consumer advocate for people who have issues with companies. I didn’t realize Best Buy had a marketplace with 3rd party sellers… I’ve seen that they offered refurbished units, but like the all of the people interviewed, it wasn’t clear it wasn’t actually sold […]
I LOVE 5G – I’m Getting Unbelievable Speeds
I’m really liking 5G, this is why it will be a game changer in the years to come… The lowest it’s been so far is 44…. I remember fantasizing as a kid running my bbs from a cell phone, as they called it then. My grandparents didnt like the idea of having a 2nd phone […]
I Just Read “Zillow’s home-buying debacle shows how hard it is to use AI to value real estate”
I’m not at all surprised. I’m actually studying a similar algorithm but it’s also laced with problems.

I Just Watched “Amelia Earhart: Queen Of The Air | Full Documentary | Biography” on YouTube
I just finished watching this on YouTube. She was 39 when she disappeared… she was declared dead in absentia on Jan 5, 1941. I wonder what she would think of the world today… or even in the 40’s and 50’s… a lot was going on in those decades as well. Her sister was interviewed (she […]
I Just Watched “World’s Longest Reigning Living Monarch | The Life Of Queen Elizabeth | Real Royalty” on YouTube
One of the people interviewed said the chances that Queen Elizabeth would be queen would be similar to Princess Beatrice becoming Queen today, it’s unlikely. She, nor her father for that matter, expected to become the King or Queen…. As we know, it wasn’t until his brother’s abdication that paved the way for Elizabeth to […]
