Opportunity for Research

12/11/2021

 
I have to go to the dentist Monday to get a botched root canal fixed. Since the protagonist is going to be tortured in my new book, Better Than Even, it's a first hand opportunity to see what it feels like, and use that in the book

New Word-I Pity The Fool

11/13/2021

 
I'm always on the lookout for new words. Here's a new entry in Merriam-Webster:

FAUX-HAWK
No, this is not a peacenik in militant clothing, but a hairstyle resembling a mohawk (à la Mr. T) in having a central ridge of upright hair but with the sides gathered or slicked upward or back instead of shaved (à la soccer star David Beckham).​​

Think About This

11/7/2021

 
Online Gambling is now legal in Connecticut, so you can make a bet on a football game on your phone. I was watching a local TV News Show. A millennial man was being interviewed on the subject, and he said "It should be as easy to bet on a football game as it is to buy a stock on Robin Hood"
Analyze this statement. What do you think? Let me know.

Read Your Own Book

11/1/2021

 
I took this photo before we teed off this morning. Played lousy. One of my partner suggested that I should read my own book! I think he meant the golf book. We'll never know, I killed him with my putter

I use standalone Microsoft keyboard that plugs into my Mac to type my books. I wore the keyboard out, I had to order a new one. I'm proud of that.

Think You Have a Hard Job?

10/16/2021

 
I just listened to When the Air Hits Your Brain, by Dr. Frank Vertosick. It's the true story of the doctor's experiences as a Medical Resident in Neurosurgery. Curiously Fascinating.

Real Golf-Laid Bare!

7/2/2021

 
I know that's a lurid headline. My point: I'm writing two books at the same time. One is a sequel to The Bitcoin Gambit, the other is a Golf Book, called Hit Your Second Shot First.
In Hit Your Second Shot First I talk about what golfers think, as opposed to what they claim to think. Since golf was invented by Victorian Gents who majored in Hypocrisy at University, you're supposed to pretend that you always hope your opponent will do well. Quite the opposite is true, as underscored by this excerpt from the first draft:


It’s time to do your first admissions if you expect to improve as a player. Let’s face it: You hope your opponent misses that four-foot putt. You hope your opponent misses that two-foot putt. You hope your opponent hits the ball into the water. You hope your opponent hits a grounder off the tee. You can’t count on those things happening, and this isn’t college basketball, you can’t stand behind the hole with a giant foam finger that says: I’m number one and make a lot of noise. You need a different plan.

Crypto Mining

6/30/2021

 
-I've seen some articles on Crypto Mining. The articles are instructional in nature. Anybody can do it, here's your chance to get rich!
-I'm struck by the similarities to Gold Rushes--in California, Alaska, The Australian Outback. There were Silver Rushes, the Comstock lode was mostly silver, not gold. A Uranium Rush happened after WWII in the desert near Moab, Utah.
-The theme is the same in all these, including the current Crypto rush. Get Rich for the rest of your life with a few hours, days of hard work. It doesn't work out for most of the participants.
-Well, at least would be Crypto Miners won't freeze to death like many of the Alaska Gold Rush zealots. There may be overconsumption of Monster Energy drink (does a mention of Mountain Dew Code Red hopelessly date me?)

Founders of South African Bitcoin exchange
disappear after $3.6 billion 'hack'



Igor Bonifacic
·Contributing Writer
Wed, June 23, 2021, 1:46 PMCryptocurrency investors in South Africa may have lost nearly $3.6 billion in Bitcoin following the disappearance of two brothers associated with one of the country’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. According to Bloomberg, a law firm in Cape Town says it can’t locate Ameer and Raees Cajee, the founders of Africrypt. In April, the exchange told its investors it was the victim of a hack and asked them not to report the incident to the authorities on account it would “slow down” the process of recovering their missing money.
Some of those involved in the exchange hired Hanekom Attorneys, the law firm that said it couldn’t find the two brothers, to investigate the incident. It found that someone had withdrawn Africrypt’s pooled funds from the local accounts and client wallets where the coins were stored originally and put them through tumblers and mixers, making it difficult (though not impossible) to trace the money. “Africrypt employees lost access to the back-end platforms seven days before the alleged hack,” the law firm told Bloomberg. The outlet attempted to call both Cajee brothers multiple times only to get their voicemail each time. 
Complicating any recovery attempt is that South Africa’s Finance Sector Conduct Authority can’t launch a formal investigation into the incident because cryptocurrency isn’t legally considered a financial product in the country. If no one can recover the money, it will go down as the largest cryptocurrency loss in history, easily overshadowing the approximately $200 million CAD that disappeared when the founder of Canada’s QuadrigaCX exchange died while travelling in India.
