thoughts of the day

How we need the Krypton Factor as counter to dross like Big Brother. We actually celebrate being stupid in society so how good to see people with MBA's, problem solving skills, IQ's of 170 which is the total of the Big Brother contestants. Some of it is nigh on impossible but i get some of them..observations, anagrams, arithmetic.. you have to challenge yourself. Embrace the technology like Brain Training. And the assault course; it's true, when you're tired it affects you mentally, it's a test.

Glad that Bolivia, Venezuela have cut off diplomatic ties with Israel. The Israeli foreign minister was smiling on tv at a press conference; i don't think it was a nervous smile where she privately disagrees with the continued bombardment of Gaza as was suggested by the news channel. I saw Jewish people on Question Time shouting down others; they only see what they want to see. This is about 41 years of illegal land occupation; the Israeli protocol is to make irrevalent points and evade questions.

Steve Jobs from Apple is one of my inspirations. He said that you have to live every day as if it is your last, because one day it will be. Compared to this you can do anything. He is a miracle survivor who has taken time off to rightly put his health first, so get better soon.

I also like the programme Numbers; probability, algorithms. They talked about heuristics; that's a business school term i haven't heard since 1986!
