A great article on the next age in human development
This article confirms what I thought.
Nobody wants to say it outright, but the Apple Watch sucks. So do most smartwatches. Every time I use my beautiful Moto 360, its lack of functionality makes me despair. But the problem isn’t our gadgets. It’s that the future of consumer tech isn’t going to come from information devices. It’s going to come from infrastructure.
Can technology solve the problems of the Caribbean?
As a Technologist, I wonder if the problems in the Caribbean can be solved by technology. The short answer is yes. For this reason, it is my mandate in life to implement technical solutions to various facets of my life and hopefully, those around me can learn and adapt to the new paradigm that the region will have to adhere to.
DDAO and the technology unemployed in Caribbean – rambling
<rambling>
Can Distributed Decentralized Automonous Organizations function in the Caribbean ? Yes, it can and will. It’s just a matter of what scale and what functions the communities will want to implement these systems. There will be resistance. But this will only by those who are part of the increasing technology unemployed with signicant financial debt. My suggestion would be :
- Become part of a community that is self-reliant and become free of any financial debt.
- Find the thing you love to do, because you will have no other reason to live, as it won’t be neccessary to work.

Ideas for the 21st Caribbean
One of my flaws is that I tend to keep my ideas secret, in the strange notion that only I can pull them of and to share them will negate the future opportunities for fame and fortune. I won’t get into the excuses that stopped me from sharing what gifts, ideas and dreams that I have been brought here to share. The only thing to know is that 2015 and forward is when I will “release the Kraken” !
Mobile communications economies in the Antigua – version 0.01
Visiting folks in Antigua posed a number of problems that knew I of for along time, but have solved differently based on my need for access to the Interwebs. On this trip I couldn’t count on Wifi at certain places, since I was relatively on the go.
Solution : A cheap android with a data plan that I could create I Wifi hotspot(tethering). It came up to $203 ECD ($180 for device; $20 for voice; $13 for 1GB/24 hours for data). About $75 USD.
The device is Alcatel Pop C2
The service is with LIME. Since I have 6+ hour layover in Dominica, I can breeth easier that I can still be connected to the Grid.
Assuming I max out my 1GB per day, I am looking at $5 per day. Rest of my trip will cost me $30 USD.
Was able to skype from my Sprint HTC with it.
More than worth it for the freedom to move around. Next trip will be less as I will have the device already.
If anyone wants more details, like on FB and Fav on Twitter.
Fixed a server with soldering iron
Some time ago, I was hired to try and revive a server that died. It was an old Dell server that running as a Windows Domain Controller.
This was the boot up screen.
After a lot of research, I discovered in a forum that the specific SCSI card was prone to bulging capacitors. Obviously the dust doesn’t help.
So being the true geek that I am, I went searching through my pile and found the specific replacement capacitors and heated up my soldering iron.
