An almost Iron Man Movie Review

I wish I could write it. I went to the movie theater and a storm started. I got tickets, and then because of the storm there were black and brown outs, and all movies were stopped and they closed the movie theatre. On my way home, everything looked like a war zone. Trees down, branches … Read more

Ringworld by Larry Niven – Book Review

A lot has been written about Ringworld – it is like a cult book, with people analyzing it from all aspects, looking for scientific contradictions, plot inconsistencies…. I just like the book very much. It’s an adventure, with twists and turns, cool character and amazing ideas of technology, devices, tools, Aliens and their behavior and … Read more

Oil Prices

The Arab countries still have us by the balls. One word from Iran about sanctions and prices jump up even more. I don’t want to get into a discussion about Iran because I’m trying to stay calm. There are many who’ll argue about the price of fuel (blown up for no real reason, high tax … Read more

Restaurants

I’m not going to mention any specific name in this insert, but I’ll try and do some restaurant reviews (my kind of review…) in separate notes. Live 15 minutes from NYC, love food, cook myself, and visit a good amount of restaurants, and believe I have a good pallet for food – which of course … Read more

Sounds to me that in most cases there are motives other than the real issue driving things, lack of knowledge, or just not looking at the whole picture.
