Very Few Updates For Awhile -- April 7, 2026

Locator: 50452BLOGGING.

The usual blogging may be delayed. Can't decide.

When the bombing started on February 28, 2026, I quit following the market and quit watching all live news (except the daily local weather report) including CNBC. I occasionally checked a few tickers and there were some other exceptions. But for the most part it's been xPerry Mason, blog links.

Now, with the deadline looming and news coming from Tesla, Broadcom, Apple, Google, Anthropic, etc., it is simply becoming overwhelming and simply too much news to post on the blog for archival purposes. 

So, at least for now, biking and reading.

This morning's bike ride was awesome. The weather was perfect, and absolutely no problem with pollen which suggests the next low pressure / cold front / precipitation is at least a few days away.

The Book Page

Yesterday I spend a few minutes with Capitalism and Its Critics, A History: From the Industrial Revolution to AI, John Cassidy, c. 2025, but at the moment seems quite irrelevant. having said that, it's an incredible book but probably better for the beach.

So, today, we're back to Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI, Anil Ananthaswamy, c. 2024 / 2025. Link here for notes
