Passenger: I am in Tech.

Me: Do you know how to subnet?

Passenger: (blank look)Oh I have my engineers do that.

Light Heavy Weight 175 pound WBO put on a good show Saturday night fighting game but outclassed Cedric Agnew. Fight ended in a 7th round KO with a body punch to Agnew side. Kovalev is one of the most exciting boxers in the game right now, and one of my favorites I hope he keeps up the good work.
Here is a 40 second clip from youtube by HBO highlights of the fight.

Lyrics:

Born in the shed with the guitar on, we gammed the “schtik” to do for gigs.With the bits and pieces of the working thesis we jammed the “schtik” to do for gigs. We took me and D.Boon’s and Georges stench and put them up on stage. We’d fight at practice then go jam econo and spout the tourspeil. I dreamed I was E.Bloom but I woke up Joe Bouchard in some town out on the road.  With patent leather boots on (just like Richard told me),another hack on the “Spectors”  tour. Now you got your guitar and your practice amp you , you travel USA in a van and Troccoli’s counting on some situation but how are you going to write the song I demand? And with the guitar turned of and the gas tank empty and the type writer on but my head is empty and to really find me ,Ive got to look inside me and cut the tourspeil

NASDAQ city San Francisco. The stocks of the overvalued tech stock market such as Google, Apple, Twitter, Facebook have driven property values through the roof in San Francisco.

In a free market sense these companies are mis allocated capital.  In the sense of saving the US system and keeping it functioning they are short term essential to helping in the survival of normalcy in America.

The US sustains it’s economy by creating monetary bubbles. The last three bubbles that were blown are the first dot-com boom, followed by the housing boom, followed by this 2.0 tech boom in the Bay Area of California.

This monetary bubble can not be created with stocks that for most part have known earning metrics like Johnson and Johnson say set to grow at 7 percent a year , instead to create the bubble the system needs stocks that have no metrics or metrics that are difficult to gauge so a very large monetary bubble can be created. This money is distributed to society at large by the tech people in the form of going to restaurants and buying houses . In the Bay Area region though this creates imbalances such that the workers needed to sustain the infrastructure for the city  and provide services to  these wealthy recipients of the tech bubble are being priced out of the region.

I guess it is fitting in a way that the Ukraine has taken over global headlines in a scary way that on a more positive note one of its exports is one of the worlds best boxers in only his second professional fight.
Vasyl Lomachenko 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist will fight rugged 33 year old veteran Orlando Salido for Salido’s 126 pound WBO title this Saturday March 1. This fight is the one that I a most interested in seeing that has been scheduled this year.  I will be pulling for Lomachenko but I do think his people are rushing him a little as I think he should get used to the longer professional fight distances this fight is scheduled for 12 rounds as amateur fights are 3 rounds in length. The Usual time for top amateur fighter to fight for a title is usually about 12-15 fights though it sometimes happens quicker this is a especially quick learning curve for Lomachenko but I eagerly look to see if he can pull of the high wire act.

So what happens to the Ukraine? Does it get split down the middle new polity created in the west that is pro EU/USA and the Eastern half pro Russian country created that is eventually incorporated into Russia? With maybe Russia willing to step aside or throw the West a bone in some other region of the world? one can only can take wild guesses at the  volatile situation that is unfolding in that country.

This smart phone app, for ios and Android has really helped bring me a lot of business, and gets raves from customers. I can really feel the app picking up tremendous momentum.

The CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission.) Has failed to adequately protect Californians with it’s passage of weak regulation on TNC(Transportation Network Carriers)Companies like like Uberx, Lyft, Sidecar whose drivers carry inadequate insurance to pay for any liabilities they incur for more information see the sfbg.com article link below to an article explaining the situation of people being injured and not being able to get compensation for their injuries.
It is kind of ironic that by making such weak regulations, the CPUC has made itself irrelevant by basically saying anything goes and nothing can be enforced due to it’s unrealistic law of insurance coverage implemented on TNC’s and the ability to enforce the law it has implemented due to limited number of regulators.
 I suspect in the end the free market  in the form of insurance companies and state regulation in the form of DMV will step in to make a rule that people driving with insurance policies that are not appropriate will be stripped of their driving privileges.

When I want to know what the rich and powerful are promoting I turn to the San Francisco Chronicle for some biased PR..What a terrible newspaper.
