Determination

The domain name MMXXII.com was first registered by me at Dotster more than 17 years ago. I was hoping that when the year 2022 eventually came around, I’d have something interesting to say on this weblog.

And then finally it got here; and even more surprising to me, I got here with it. So, starting January 1, 2022, I started posting and fiddling with an assortment of content ever since. Stay tuned to see if it improves over the next few years. You’ll see something new every day.

Here are my ambitious next steps:

  1. Find out about those SSL security errors on an iPad.
  2. Create a system to curate image files and save database records.
  3. Write a parser.php app to read traffic log files.
  4. Print business cards with MMXXII in Cochin font.
  5. Contact potential online/offline affiliates.
  6. Walk/bike around handing out business cards, talk to decision makers.
  7. Put up a keyosk at Bay Area markets to sell MMXXII tchotchkes.
  8. Kick off ShopCampbell.com, ShopLosGatos.com, and ShopWillowGlen.com into high gear to help with branding.

The task is great and full of responsibility. It is nothing less than that of leading the world out of confusion and back to order.

In The Hills Above

Venture capitalists expect some of the businesses they support to fail. If that never happens, they aren’t taking enough risks. Similarly, a government program aimed at advancing technology is bound to end up with some lemons. If it doesn’t, it’s not extending the frontier.

Silicon Valley is not an especially friendly place, but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Spectacular weather and scenery. Talent is everywhere.

Reflect on the spirit embodied by monks at the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. Their daily work period is for 3 hours until 12:40 PM. Asked of one monk what he does when the bell rings but he feels that his work is undone, he replied, “You get over it.”

Termite Castle Culture: Swarms of termites build castle-like structures without supervision or a centralized plan. Working independently without communication or a leader, they proceed using environmental cues.
