“A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit."
-Arnold H. Glasow
John Zingg and I played music together in college and were close friends during tumultuous times. Since retiring a year ago, John works on his music with daily discipline. His goal is to create original music after playing mostly in cover bands his entire life. Here’s one of his early instrumentals. If you enjoy the sound as I did, just let me know and I’ll get you on the list for his first EP, due out this coming year.
Editor’s note: In the spirit of Christmas, I’ll share this updated version of “Love, Love, Love”.
Money may be the root of all evil, but only if you are not honest about what it means to you.
Editor’s note: If you like history, spiced up by great writing, this is a can’t miss. It reads like a novel and yet I learned very interesting detail about man’s early quest to fly and also about a very interesting family. I was also a bit stunned to learn about the business and financial outcomes of their ventures.
Editor’s note: This mind blowing work, subtitled “A Brief History of Tomorrow”, gets a bit lost for me because of its ambition to forecast a few hundred years forward. Still there is so much to think about because of this brilliant author’s attempt to put some future form on emerging bio and data science. Essentially he sees the combination of things like artificial intelligence, the “internet of everything” and DNA manipulations putting Homo Sapiens in a position to become Homo Deus (gods). Man, having mostly overcome famine, plague and violence (good data on the truth of that is early in the book) has ever increasing bandwidth and so must inevitably come up with the “next big thing”.
