Two angels Misty and Karen

I have waited three weeks to write this entry. I believe in angels but where angels come from is another story, manifestation, helpers of God, an alternate reality or aliens. The only thing for sure is i know they exist. They are sensitive to the cry from the soul. I can't help being maudlin about this because i was in distress. To get to Kenya I split my flights. Instead of JFK to Kenya I booked jfk to Dubai. I met so many people on this trip it was amazing the two girls from azerbaijan, a man from Katmandu, a man from Kentucky who shared my love of horses, Jewish (monks) from Brooklyn..  And of course my two angels and the paramedics who fused over me. Anyway at 5am I am checking in to Gulf Air and before i know it my bags are returned to me. Unless I have a ticket out of Kenya they will not let me on the plane they say kenyan law forbids entry without return ticket. Now i have been married twice to Kenyan women have traveled 4 times to Kenya. So i go to buy a new ticket it is only $500 for a $200 ticket. I came with a hundred dollars extra so this was a crushing blow. I was now going to be homeless in Dubai. So i needed the internet to buy a ticket. The man from Thrifty (Katmandu) let me use his computer, they only support wireless at the airport. And of course I had none, computer yes. So I bought the ticket from Nairobi to Kampala for $207. But couldn't remember my password so i couldn't get the details and it was on a no name airlines. I go back to gulfair and the flight has left. I plead with the agent and promising to die in front of her has no effect. But another flight leaves at 10am but must check in at or before 9am i return to thrifty but his internet is down. I go to another ticket counter but everything is setup to force you to buy a high price ticket. I am now going between terminals frustrated as hell. I find a help desk and i plead my case and i admit tears flowed. And before I new it the paramedics were there taking my blood pressure pricking my finger and my blood sugar i think was 343 time to check into a hospital. So knowing that i refused anymore treatment. I lied and said i was fine with my heart condition i knew an ekg would for certain land me in the hospital. Meanwhile my angel has logged into the internet. the time is 8:50  by a miracle my password works and i get  the data for the flight. Karen then personally escorts me to gulf air counter she is determined to stay with me until i am on that plane. My bags are finally checked and Misty joins her and using there employee badges get me on the electric buggies and get me to the gate which is miles away. As i enter the gate waiting area they ask if i am hungry and I admit I am so they disappear and return 10 minutes later with two hamburger a fries and a drink from McDonalds. I offer to pay them but they refuse and I gave them a blessing for the rest of there lives. And so I leave my two angels much wiser as to the forces opposing me and those forces keeping me on my mission to save the world. For as Dana Quijote that is my mission no matter how foolish I seem to be I will struggle on and occasionally angels will take me under their wings and help me to the next gate in life.

How Software Engineering Became a Profession

Dear Mr. Davis,

I tried to read your book referring to the subject of this blog. But the term engineering kept getting in the way. I always have had little respect for engineers as programmers. As the joke goes engineers are ok but i wouldn't want my daughter to marry one. One of the important aspects of being a programmers is the ability to see beyond the forest. Programming is an art. Trying to render it a subset of engineering is like telling a famous artist how to paint. As a programmer i was a whore i did what i was told to do and of course 10 times more to fill in the spaces of the boredom. It is like someone wants me to paint a wheel and on the side i paint the ceiling of the Sistine chapel. I have to laugh at your standards if i were to live by those i would have died long ago in the basement of the Pentagon. I would give you a A for effort but an F for fantasy. Anyway my new profession is as a curmudgeon to you young people who disdain the 1968 programmer who lived the life eclectic and formed the world you live in today. Today I walk the streets of Kisumu Kenya Africa and children run up to me to touch the Muzungo(white man) just like the employers did back in 1968. I have stopped saving those giants from disaster after disaster and now i will try my hand at saving the world. When from nothing you create a program that does something you tend to feel Godlike. In the societies of the Third world the "Engineer is King" now lets see if I can kick some engineering butt. I was there when this technological world was built. And as in the tale of two cities i quote " It was the best of times, it was the worst of times "  

The trip through hell

Well I made it. I am now in my apartment in kisumu just $130.00 per month. 2 bedroom and a pantry turned into a bedroom for the boys. The first thing was arriving in JFK and finding my bag bandaged in Duct tape. The jet blue representatives were hard wired to say all we can do is give you a $30.00 voucher for future trips. Finally Walter surrendered and got my bag wrapped in plastic. Which allowed me to continue after the black women supervisor told me to get out of her face. First time for that. I guess I am a mean old curmudgeon after all. After that she settled in to paying her bills on the phone. Well after an accident in the bathroom and unfriendly Russians i settle down to wait for the flight and while charging my laptop 2 friendly girls from Azerbaijan who were going back home after spending sometime in New York with unhappy thoughts of life at home after experiencing the joys of a free society. Well finally onto the plane for nine hour flight to Moscow. The big girl was the stewardess for first class passenger and the thin heartstoping thin was left for us. They worked hard as there should have been twice the stewardess. Also there were a group of Jewish monks practicing there rituals in the back of the plane and were from Brooklyn.  An interesting flight. After that it was Moscow and then the flight to Dubai. I will do a separate one for Dubai.

notes on russia

well i spent my few hours in Russia and have these reflections. Moscow reminds me more of anchorage Alaska as the pine trees dominate the open horizons. Russians have absolutely no sense of humor so don't even try. The airport is massive but not built for people. Many tv's but no content. Finding my gate was a journey of frustration. After waiting an hour at the gate i was told to go to i find that i have to go to another just part of the unfriendly skies of Moscow. And a soda and cup of cabbage soup cost $11.00 My desire to return to Moscow is zero.

The Hairdresser

Well less than 2 days to go. Zainabu and her friend will meet me at the airport. Don't like going to a country without someone at the airport. When my first love began to stray I found a lovely lady Zainabu. So I tried to get her setup in a new salon. Well that met with disaster and fell through. After the second wife starting ruling me I escaped and ended up with Zainabu but found out she had a second husband. Now a year later I find myself in her arms. This trip is so uncertain I am actually very nervous. What will happen? But I will visit my old friend George and that alone is worth the trip. Also there is mwajuma (born on Friday) a daughter of Zainabu who speaks perfect english and Zainabu speaks swahili and a few other dialects. So the adventure begins. 

Lonely Road

After 9 months of sacrifice and support of someone i get the news she has found someone else. It is  a blow to the heart. Only seven days to go. If I stay here I die. Why because my A1C is 13. Sort of walking dead. But in Kenya the diet is perfect spinach, fish, fresh fruits. Also there I walk a lot. Also plenty of sun for that vitamin D. But now I have to walk alone, no one to meet me at the airport, where do i stay now in hotel find an apartment with no furniture and little money. So I guess this is the end either way. My Doctor said she is my friend but I soon realized it was only pity as I said I had no friends. But the reason I said that is because I am out of joint here. I love Kenya and when I am there I feel at home. Even though every woman I have known there is a liar.
I love the kids, Nicole, Wendy, Vanessa, little baldy, Majumbo and her brothers and little sister, and Everlines 4 children (Beryl,,,). When with the children I feel young again. And back to Hattie Mathews when I though I was dying she comforted me so I knew I could die in the arms of a black woman.  I traveled down deaths corridors being tortured in so many different ways. Dreams fade so fast but these memories are still fresh in my mind. Being tied to a bed and the nurse pouring gasoline all around as she prepared to burn me to death. These memories are there. So many, many memories. And now my last trip. To die somewhere in Kenya fighting wind mills.
What better way to die, instead of going blind if I stay here and getting limbs saw off by a surgeon as my diabetes grows worse.
So if I have a friend where is he/she now. The answer is simple he/she is in my future.

DESIDERATA

        GO PLACIDLY amid the noise & haste, & remember what peace
       there may be in silence.

        As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all
       persons.

        Speak your truth quietly & clearly; & listen to others, even
       the dull & ignorant;  they too have their story.

        Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the
       spirit.

        If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain &
       bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than
       yourself.

        Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.  Keep interested
       in your own career, however humble;  it is a real possession in
       the changing fortunes of time.

        Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full
       of trickery.   But let this not blind you to what virtue there
       is;  many persons strive for high ideals; & everywhere life is
       full of heroism.

        Be yourself.  Especially, do not feign affection.

        Neither be cynical about love;  for in the face of all aridity
       & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

        Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering
       the things of youth.

        Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
       But do not distress yourself with imaginings.   Many fears are
       born of fatigue & loneliness.

        Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

        You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the
       stars; you have a right to be here.

        And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is
       unfolding as it should.   Therefore be at peace with GOD,
       whatever you conceive HIM to be,  & whatever your labors &
       aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your
       soul.

        With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a
       beautiful world.  Be careful.  Strive to be happy.

russia

After so many years I will be in Moscow for a few hours as i go back to Kenya. Somehow I have all these comments from Russians and most are not quite understandable. My best guess is that a russian English class used my blog as a teaching tool. But on September 22nd i will arrive in Moscow on my way to Dubai and then Nairobi. So what does an airport tell you about a country. It give you a glimpse of how the society looks at visitors. Singapore was the best and Mumbai the worst. Singapore gave to the visitor internet, butterfly sanctuary. Mumbai no Atm's and rude airport agents and Military guards. Lets see how Moscow stands up. Let me not forget Qatar where they put me in a four star hotel and fed me. It took me an hour to figure out how to flush the toilet. So i will stop at three new airports, Moscow, Dubai and Bahrain. 3 days on the move, i love it as i will see new people and adjust my attitudes with a dose of reality.

As ever i remain

The debt crisis

Wow what an experience watching the congress juggle my ssi check. But such sadness  as the callers to cspan not once touched on the salient points. I can't comprehend how the people of the usa are so opinionated and run around with blinders. The debt is 14trillion dollars. When the grand children are ready for social security the 14,000,000,000,000 will be worth about 14,000,000,000 new dollars. As at some point the value of the currency will be devalued as each 1000.00 will become 1 new dollar. or maybe worse 1,000,000 dollars to one new dollar. US citizens live in a glass bowl.In Peru they went from sole, inti, nuevo sol. The 1000 sol became 1 inti. 1,000,000 ints became one nevo sol. Thus since my first trip to Peru the money has been devalued by one billion. If the same were to happen here the national debt would be $$14,000 new dollars. I have seen the value of my money decrease 100% in one day. Americans need to understand the real world. Inflation will continue. Look at gold $35.00 troy ounce now $1650 per troy ounce an increase of 4,714 percent. So cash will destroy u. Buy land, gold, diamonds things which have a finite supply and let congress play tiddle winks. 

russians

i wonder who these people are They flood my blog with cryptic phrases. Today one said i should commit suicide other called me an idiot etc etc Is this a class of students trying to learn English? No useful  comments just trying to push their web pages. Many years ago I worked with a Russian he was not like that. then here are the women scammers. If anyone could shed light i would really like that.

gold

Today I started reclaiming gold fingers from circuit cards. 2 parts peroxide 1 part muratic acid. The fingers r rising up to the top. One hundred sixty pieces maybe 3000 fingers. How much is it worth at a penny per finger some $30.00 stay tuned i let u know.

Paris

there was a wonderful interview Charlie Rose had with an author who wrote about the influence paris has had on our america. There was a great quote about history which was to forget dates just understand history and why things happened. Which is  my philosophy to a tee. My second wife Anne was a history buff and i always use to call her a revisionist historian which basically is true of all historians. I love Paris where they celebrate love and the right to be an individual which is being lost in our culture. As ever I remain Dana Quijote aka mr baldy

airship

In an article on why airships will never be part of our transportation infrastructure i responded:
Thank you so much for the history of the airship. I really appreciated it even if your conclusions were let us say a bit myopic. But in my experience engineers are always a bit so. After my death I'll tell you why. But again thank you and I really mean no disrespect because engineers are very necessary to making things where dreamers like me sometimes never get off the ground and at times even get lost in the clouds.
After doing much thinking about this I discovered something which makes it possible for airships to survive but to be the Saviour of our future. If we think about global warming and consequences we find that trains have a hard time underwater and so do trucks. Now airplanes will be able to fly but airports will be under water. Now a airship is very flexible in a world gone lets say mad. But I have kept my secrets a long time and it was over 10 years ago I discovered this. But how can you trust an old man who chases windmills and believes in rigid airships(whoops). Now for the intelligent reader obviously excluding engineers you might find a hint in what I am saying. So after I die I'll tell you all in my memoirs. Because at this moment if I had the backing I would be making billions proving him wrong. The world is safe because at the moment I am poor. But in the future maybe by accident I will break the egg that I am enclosed in. Now here is a though. When we become a human being we differentiate at certain times certain cells become part of us and latter on more sophisticated cells come along until you get us a human being. Now in jest I would say engineers are very early in the differentiation process. Now for some reason I haven't differentiated and so my 10 - billion dollar ideas lay dormant. I have always had fun poking engineers because they are so arrogant. But it is only fun on my part. And so here I sit in my egg waiting to differentiate and achieve my goal of first bypass flight to Alpha Centauri. Just an old man and impossible dreams, right? I mean it would probably take me 50 years to do that. I watch Nasa TV and I feel so sad. My GOD what are spacesuits for. I mean if you had to put one on to save your life you would be long dead. And the space shuttle is dying with nothing to replace it. America has lost its vision(obviously engineers have taken over). Oh well shut the lights out send the engineers home we are done with the shuttle, space and silly notions like scifi. I think my thread is done RIP NASA

being totally blind

A long time ago specifically 1968 i was working in Rome New York with my first wife Sarah. In the course of our relationship i hypnotized her at least maybe more than 50 times. Anyway i discovered 5 past lives. And over the years i have wished to follow up on this. Now I am pursuing helping blind women. Information on the blind I.E. totally blind is costly. A single article in Scientific american cost $7.95 and other sources want up to $100 for a book. With my retirement and supporting my wives in Africa I have very few dollars left to pursue this. But recently I have a question about dreaming. One theory is that unless a person has achieved between 4-7 years as a sited person the dreams will be mainly acoustical with no visual information. Now if I put the two projects together. Will past lives all be of blind people. Or will past lives include sighted individuals. If as the researchers believe u must have had sight at an early age then past lives of totally blind people will also be of blind people. I am interested in the brain as far as memory and visual content. The amount of storage for visual memory is staggering but for auditory very small in comparison. So obviously in researching totally blind from birth allows us to collapse one variable ie the variable of vision in the mind. I have worked with several phds on a computer consulting bases at Johns Hopkins Wilmer eye institute and at Wills eye hospital. Not that it gives me any special insight except for advising my second wife Anne on how to proceed with her eye tumor. The advantage I have at this moment is two fold. One I am retired and I work for no one except myself. Advantage two is that I am now a Kenyan and the rules in Kenya r different than here. Not the official rules but the tribal rules. And I can hire a blind person to work for me at $75.00 a month. I would love to have at least 10 people work for me so I can research many things. Dr Robert Massof gave me the most cherished compliment I ever had. He called me the most creative person he had ever met.
Now u may want to equivocate on this but my past record I believe substantiates this. So I am writing here because I would like to have help financially. At this moment I have about $400.00 and I need $600 more to return to Africa. So if u know of someone who would like to contribute I would greatly appreciate it. I could go to any number of charities to seek help but as I thought about it I could feel the chains tightening around my neck. I am to say the least untamed. The way I think and do things is not in the mold of NGO's or Religious organizations. My main goal is to explore the unknown and to help those people who have no champion. I am through trying to force my way as in my whole life it has never worked that way. I am opening my arms to the Universe to let it happen if not I have many projects and many ideas enough to hire 10,000 people but no project in my mind is more noble than to help blind women of Kenya.
As ever I remain Dana Quijote

bigotry

Hello again,
Bigotry. Why does it exist. The simple explanation is because when we r afraid we shout, we bluster. One night walking alone on a deserted street in Africa I found myself shouting. Why because I was certain I was about to die. In Africa alone on a street after about 10pm is as close to Russian roulette as you can get. It is not uncommom to hear screams in the night. Do I go rushing out on the street to help. Sorry to say I am just a common coward. Now if it was my family i would and if death should appear I would die defending my loved ones. So on the internet without any governor on decorum ur hear so many angry men and some women. And the worst is those scientist who assume they know everything and everyone else is stupid. Just because I have 47 years experience in computers doesn't make my opinion worth anymore than anyone elses. And my favorite saying "Once u learn the truth you shut the doors to other truths" Because no matter ur opinion the truth is relative to one overriding thing. How does this truth allow u to predict future events. Some truths r ok if u lived 1000 years ago but today help in no way because we as humans have learned that that way doesn't help us anymore. SO the internet has allowed opinionated loud mouths to rule the cyberways. SO to learn new things u really have to shovel a lot of shit first and other indignities before u learn something. But the big but is that it works. All we can do is dig out our logic tool kit and work our way through the bullshit till we find those nuggets hidden in there. And we hold those nuggets high for all to see and we progress a nano inch forward. And thank God for those who love to shovel shit rather those who love to produce it.
So I guess I can redefine bigotry as those who produce shit.
So to those of u out there shoveling shit keep at it because somewhere inside the mountain of shit is some gold.
As ever I remain Dana Quijote

68times around the sun

Hello i just finished lap 68 around the sun. I limp a little and my right eye is losing the battle but i am here still charging windmills. I am getting ready to go to africa my job here is done. I am excited about helping the blind. I have a new web site i am working pn www.withoutsight.com I have some new ideas which if i get some funds i will implement to help the blind. It has become my problem de jour. The quote from Lord acton has always resonated in my mind "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." To accomplish my goals i must have enormous power and i had the fear it would destroy me. For over 20 years i wrestled with this problem. Until I found the solution. So I will rephrase the quote. Power corrupts when the balance between power and responsibility becomes unbalanced. Thus absolute power must be matched with absolute responsibility. Anyway a new day has come and a cause has formed now i lay my cause in the hands of destiny.

My Dreams My Choices

Dear reader this is a nice book and flows gently along. Since I have been in Kenya I would like to explain a few things. In Kenya education is everything the whole society revolves around it with national test and ranking and children striving to be the best. In Kenya it is a common practice to bribe the teachers to get your child into her/his classes. And unlike the USA they have school fees. And if you don't pay they will beat your child. Anyway this book shows you the general scope of education in Kenya. But is far more brutal than she relates here. If I related to you the stories and heartbreaks I have encountered in Kenya you would be reduced to tears. As I often was. But I am an example of Clementine's spirit as at the age of 65 walking out of a hospital and getting on a plane to Kenya. And as I arrived the riots began but as a white man I was treated with respect but God help u if u were a Luo in Nairobi or a Kikuyu in Kisumu many people died and so many buses arrived in Kisumu with refuges. But I never regretted going to Kenya as I learned so much about my self. And as she says "be courageous, do what you have never done, go where you have never been, and you will see the change." I came to Africa and she came to USA different sides of the same coin. Read the book it is a good book and will not take you long to read. I downloaded as an ebook and don't regret it as it was a good book i recommend it without reservation.

osama bin laden

Finally at last the evil man is dead. The bombing of the twin Towers was an act of an evil man and the USA an innocent child. After ten years we have finally killed him but his legacy carries on. Although the planes killed 3000 people they also killed an innocent nation. Try and travel by plane and they say this may be bin laden until we prove otherwise. The innocents of airplane travel gone. Government dedicated to rights of the individual gone. Secret prisons, torture, murder the rise of the third reich maybe now transformed into the fourth reich. Yes bin laden is dead but the innocents of our democracy is now gone we now r in full grips of the ends justify the means. So bin laden won he has taken our innocents and we live with that inside our mortal souls. Like a child raped we will live with the consequences for the rest of our lives. Suicide bombers were born in the conflagration of the twin towers. This became the method of terror the rules changed. Now gentle Islamics are feared we all lost something that day. Can we now heal ourselves of this affliction. Wiki leaks showed the true heart of our government. Can we learn our lesson or shall evil continue to walk the land will this finally destroy america. I don't know but I fear it will. Where r our ethics? Religion has gone of the deep end. Instead of preaching love and giving help to the poor as a society we reach for the dollar not the soul.
What does it profit a man if he gaineth the whole world yet suffers the loss of his own soul
For each and ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
So now innocent people will be tortured and how can we say that is inhuman and those outside our domain will say u did it. I believe we as Americans r bigger than that we survive with our moral dignity and our ingenuity. We don't need torture what we need is integrity.
May the force be with u

Returning to Kenya

When u r flying on a plane and u approach the airport there is a point where the engines stop struggling and a peace comes about as if the engines have stopped and u r flying into heaven. That is where I am now. The mission has been accomplish the move has been made in 4 months to move a mountain accumulated over 25 years. Lots of things were tossed. But the books were saved. I estimated I have about 5000 books out on the porch and the little storage shed. Some r abused and one touch they practically fall apart but they have been my treasures and sifting through the rubble so to speak I find gems and I reread them. And the question in my mind is the blind. Everyday I say what would a blind person do. And knowing about computers and m dimensions i find of the blind i know so little. Do blind people dream in Technicolor and blind is sort of a misnomer because there r all grades of blindness. I worked at two of the most important eye hospitals I dare say in the world. I was referred to as a Doctor on many occasions because I would take it upon myself to learn what I had to do to make life saving decisions. My ex wife had a cancer(?) in her eye. It was my job to decide what treatment to take. So before the internet I was allowed to research at the hospital about treatment and finally we opted for a cobolt plaque sewn onto the eyeball for about 2 weeks. The treatment worked and she is still alive some 20 years latter. So where will I be in 30 days from now. My wish is to return to Kenya and my wife Cecilia and my friend George who lives nearby. George is legally blind but can see shapes and his warm greeting always warms my heart. Georges elder wife is totally blind and George would escort her to the bathroom some 100 meters away. My heart can hardly bear the sight of this and I have only admiration for George as he maintains his two wives. Now u think how wonderful having two wives but George believes sex will shorten ur life. So no sex if u want to live forever. We sit and talk of politics of Kenya and he use to work for the US embassy and survives on a pension of about $500 a month.He use to be Roman Catholic but changed to Muslim so he could save the wife of his friend who was turned out into the street by her tribe after his friend died. In Kenya as I have heard a man can legally have 4 wives. Anyway I miss George and wish to return. But blind people how do they survive? If I was blind now I could not survive. Being dependent on others for almost everything. So my dream is to help others who r blind. But I am not a philanthropist just a retired fool who never built saving for this day. But I am happy belonging to no one free to battle windmills. Because if I take myself to serious then I become a threat. But an old fool can be suffered by many where as an arrogant old man will be stoned at a moments notice. So I dodder a bit and don't shave often and this leaves my plate clean. I have so many inventions and no money to pursue them and I am afraid I will die with my song unsung. So here I am no money and the desire to return to my home and my wives and my children. And they all want to come here. Kisumu is paradise where u can find a spot of peace and yes challenge. But I find the dream of coming to the USA is such a false dream. To give up family and tribe to come here. Family is first and having been tossed a gold ring u leave ur family and friends and come to the USA where u know not ur neighbor. In 25 years at my home I never once met my neighbor.In Kenya i know and enjoy most of my neighbors. Old men r elders in Kenya in USA just fodder for the nursing homes. Why would I want to stay here (medical) that is the only reason. My son has his live in girlfriend his own trailer and plays games all day long so I am a burden to him not a help. But someday I expect him to come to Kenya and we will have good times. His mother loves him and she supports him so well I am not needed here. So I hope to put my roots in Kenyan soil and grow my family and help those who need help most the blind women of Kenya. I need people and constantly I am searching for helpers but they don't come. So lets us see if I can lift a few souls and start growing my roots in Kenya. My philosophy is so strange that there r few who can understand me. I don't need power or fame I already have done more in my life than any millionaires could so now I want to help people and some day save the world. Because the future of mankind lies in Kenya. The USA is like Rome in its last great days. Still great but given a kick will decline. But that is as always the history of mankind. So here I am with the wish in my hand and no money to go.

What is it like to be blind

What an interesting question. I remeber steve Wonder running onto the stage in Baltimore. Surrounded by his male friends he ran, a blind man running an impossible thought. But there he was. So in the scale of things the person on the bottom of everything is a blind black girl from Africa. Women r treated badly in Kenya so can u imagine a blind girl unable to defend herself from who or whatever. But on the other hand is Stevie wonder running onto the stage. My point being that with help from others we can do the impossible. As a child I was always in fear of my life from the other boys who used to make my life hell. So if I take that and multiply it by ten I am sure a bit closer to how these brave souls feel. So I want to help them and blind boys as well. I just watched a segment for Capital Talk a wonderful show from Africa and Jeff interviewed Irene who is helping the blind in Africa. So I looked up what she was doing and it was real. There are so many groups in Kenya who help the orphans and drive $40,000 cars and live in Mansions. It is a way to get money for themselves. So seeing her results makes me feel good and a few tears flow as I see her helping with computers in the school just outside Nairobi. So maybe my next mission is to help the blind? So now I will explore the blind character. I remember my social experimentation as a young boy. The beautiful rooster and the ugly rooster. I tied the foot of the beautiful rooster to a rope. And I was so sad as all the ugly rooster could do was spend all his time pecking at the beautiful rooster until finally the beautiful rooster lost his bravado and I let him lose. But the lesson was clear trying to create social justice doesn't work with animals. And in my life I have seen people act just like those roosters and I say to myself are we all just animals. And then I see what Irene has done and I feel so good here is a woman who has a heart and is giving a hand to those who are at the bottom of the scale. So I want to explore the envelope and see if I am wanted in the land of the blind. I don't know that answer but I can see a vision of me doing just that. The question is has the experience of being blind warped there soul. Are blind people the same as all those animals and when empowered will they seek revenge on those sited people. U see I see no limitations in being blind as in my future I may be blind as I am a diabetic and my left eye is slowly loosing sight. Now if u are blind I can here your objections, I can hear ur screams as to how I can say that. But I will smile at them and begin to teach them how to see. One of the most amazing man of the last 100 years was Nicola Tesla. He was the inventor of the ac electric current one of the most amazing discoveries of all time. But he had an interesting talent he could visualize foreign lands and visit and talk to people in his mind. He would design machines in his head and test them. Now does being blind stop anything. Since I read that about him I began to design things in my head and test machines before one visual thing was to be done. I was all excited about a gyroscope on the equator driving a boat. But with experimentation in my mind only I found it didn't work. So if I go blind will it stop me. Hell no because I live in my mind. I love my sight but if I should travel down the world of the blind I will fear not because as long as I have my mind I have everything. Look at Stephen Hawkins a brilliant physicist who can't talk but has written beautiful books and is one of the leading physicist of our time. I am from a time before the keyboard. I still use two fingers to type after 47 years in the business but I have always wanted to design a better keyboard and maybe just maybe I'll get a chance to do so. Also I have another invention perfect for the blind but that is another story. And so Irene this is for u let me help. And next time u see a blind girl slap the shit of some offensive boy u will say I bet she knows Kimball. Because that is my goal to make blind people better than sighted people. And I sigh now and say to mysell yes this is a worthy challenge as tears stream down my cheeks.

My other blog

How interesting. It seems that people have discovered a new way to advertise they respond to ur blog. Well my other blog has been discovered in Russia and now I receive all sorts of junk and a virus or two. I hate viruses just like I hate mosquitoes they are very annoying and that is one of the facts of the internet and the same way in Africa annoying. But that seems to be the way of things. Just like me I can be erudite at times but still chase pussy. It is the human condition as well as for every other mammal. Do u have to teach ur dogs, cats, horses how to fuck. My god at two years old they can do it. In each of us is the underling animal. The human condition has added a new feature. I am not sure what to call it but it rises above sexuality and becomes art, poetry and a few extras. And so many people feel guilty about sex when in reality there is nothing they can do about it except obviously worry about it. WE are a society so obviously we like to control it and make sure it doesn't destroy us. I saw the movie http://www.hulu.com/watch/222548/imagining-Argentina breaks ur heart to see the corruption of power on us who have no power. But the world has changed and for good or bad and we r now connecting. That is the internet, the web, the cloud, ...
Since I last blogged a wave of rebellion has crossed north africa and the arabian world. And Gaddafih is still holding on. By my next blog who know what surprise will happen. Look a Japan at this moment an estimated 18,000 killed by the earthquake. And what happened to there currency, I still shake my head at this, The value of the yen increased and reached a new high. Oh well I don't understand. Wiped my practice currency account out lost $50,000 imaginary dollars.
Sorry for rambling on but the world is now so interesting. Will the infamous six in Kenya ever be tried. What a suspense as in a country where there is no justice just raw power. Will these six and there friends turn away justice? Tune in next blog to find out.
Anyway I write my blog for me not u. Just trying to find me as I look inside the events and times around us. I just allow u share it for a while that is all. And maybe in the future someone somewhere will contribute to these threads which have been put on the web. we learn from discussions. I remember my wonderful time in Kenya as I conversed with George who knew the history of Kenya from a personal view. Wow that was excellent, a great adventure "TED"
Why in Kenya there is so many windmills I almost fainted from the experience.
I am now in the states charging my batteries ready to go back. In Kenya my maid receives 2000ksh a bed and her food. at this moment 2000ksh is $24.00
I have in Kenya 2 wives, 2 children and a maid. And I support them on my social security pension. For what I used to earn $50.00 an hour I could hire about a dozen people or more. So now the challenge is what could i do with 50 workers. For those of u who havn't read my blog I am a computer programmer see www.mrdana.com Now instead of loading registers I can work with people to build whatever I want. In a new country who in a few months will be like 1776 in america. I wish I had some fellow travelers but for some reason I am too far away from the main stream of things. I am sure the early explores felt the same way being the first is great for the ego but a very lonely place.
In the next few weeks I have to decide where I will go and what I will do. I have very little money and that is a good thing. Money tends to get in the way. Ever try putting the horse behind the cart it is difficult at best actually the best analogy is backing up with a trailer on behind.
First must come the ideas unfettered by the worry about money. After the idea is born then u get the money. We love to do things the hard way. We say we need money before the baby is born. I could ramble on for a month about money but the best advice is to forget about money and let the mind flow to find out what u need to do.

Until next time

Cyber War

Many of you out there are going to find the following uninteligible but this has to be said. I have been working on computers since feb 1965 according to my math that is probably 46 years. I saw a recent cartoon which said I have many years experience so I am right and the response was this is a modern age and u no nothing of the current computer systems. Of course both viewpoints are wrong.
Anyway I am going to put my opinion on the record right here. Of course doing so will put my life in danger but at 67 that is no great loss. But you out there are going to pay a heavy price as your wonderful instrument is going to crash and burn. And your electric grid and all those media things are going bye bye. I lived in Kenya for about 50% of the time since late 2007. I can live without electricity, no tv and a hole in the ground to shit in. We used charcoal to cook with. We got water from a well and when there was rain we used rain water. That is your future. Why do you ask? Because like most people we don't want to pay the price for our freedom. Governments all over the world are corrupt. Our education system is antiquated. We are looking at the last days of Rome. And who is responsible? I am of course as my 46 years has contributed to the success of the computer age. Maybe one millionth of a percent but it is there. Next in line is intel corp. Because the intel microprocesor went in a direction which has allowed the internet to flourish beyond anyones dream.My wife is in Kenya and everyday we communicate. Kenya is so far away that if you go any further you will start on your way home. The world is round you know. I was working for Systems Engineering Labs in Fort Lauderdale and guess what we did not use intel. But intel success has wiped out all the innovations of other computer systems Anyway after Intel comes Microsoft and Bill Gates building operating systems shoddy and barely functional.
You don't have to be a bad person to open the gates to hell just stupid.
And then we have the list of stupid people who work for the government. The only people in the government I respected were the men who worked on the submarines.
Again not everyone but 99.9999999% of the people are just plain stupid not bad just plain ignorant.
Now that I have insulted just about everyone in the world let me give you a solution to the up coming cyber war which will lay our society open to the chain reaction which will cripple every intel based computer on the planet.
We use to build computers where you could not introduce viruses. It was called ROM memory. You wrote a program and burned it into a blank ROM(read only memory) which meant you could not change it. Operating systems are now loaded into changeable memory and therefore enter all the nasty programs we have today. The analogy I can give you its cheaper to build a house of wood or cardboard but fire water wind and earthquakes will destroy it. But make a house out of steel and concrete, cost more, but will outlast the cheap house by about a 1000 years. Of course we will have to slow down the reckless pace of operating systems from one every 4 years to a new one every 10 years and our computers will cost a lot more. Anybody who uses the internet on the same system as a power grid will pay the price. Read cell by Stephen King actually more real than fiction.
My suggestion is go to some third world country and start learning how to live without all the technology because you will live a long life. Here you have less than 10 years before the Cyber wars devastate our society and billions will die just because our government is corrupt, our companies are more corrupt and no one calculates the cost and the guy who runs hell is coming to collect our souls.

Ted Williams

Hello World,

I want to report today of another windmill vanquished. Mr Ted Williams of Brooklyn New York has returned from hell. He is a match that has touched of a storm that shows from rags to riches. He truly has a voice of an angel. And the internet has already logged over 1,200,000 views of his video in just 3 days. This story is truly American the belief that no matter what we can rise from our own destruction the phoenix. Now even I want a piece of him to listen to his story hoping the flame that now burns so bright in him will some how kindle that same flame in me. He is so familiar to me he looks like Obama and acts like my cousin. But the heart of America is touched by his tragic story giving hope to mothers all over the world that the prodigal son has returned home.

The father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

So have we changed from being alone to being a community where in 3 days we all can share and rejoice. Ted Williams was dead but now he is alive.
I can only wish him well as I will reiterate the formula that brought him back from the dead.

The Universe is God to receive the power of God be grateful.

In case you have been outside the circle here is a brief synopsis of what has happened.

Ted Williams, a homeless man, became an Internet sensation recently after The Columbus Dispatch newspaper posted a video of Williams begging on the side of a road in Columbus, Ohio, using his radio emcee imitations.

The 53-year-old has since received new voice-over job offers with the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team and foodmaker Kraft and the world is amazed at his stunning instant rise from begging on the streets.

So let go and let God.

Mr Assange chief editor of Wikileaks

US embassies do not protect americans overseas. They are power hungry people who tell other countries citizens that the us laws don't apply to them. I know it happened to my wife as a consulate canceled my wifes visa to usa. Mr assange has shined a light into the embassies around the world. I feel ashamed of my goverment as they try to abridge our constitution. What an example we show to the world as we say one thing but really don't mean it. Please exchange the ambassador to kenya he is an embarrassment. Sweden is a laughing stock of the world where a broken condom is rape. The US has no way to prosecute Mr Assange the internet age redefines his role of news gatherers which he is one of and protected.
