Alert: New Executive Order We've been tracking the U.S. Congress for twenty years. Now it's time to track the White House.

For over a decade, I've been on the email list of GovTrack. It WAS a non-partisan government organization that told you everything going on in Congress and the Whitehouse. That department has been fired. But the newsletter needs to keep going. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gov... Please Support!

Last week, I had the honor to go to Davos for the #WEF2025. I met insightful people, heard enlightening talks, played with new technology, and connected on a level I had not before. 2 take aways: 1) AI Agents is how we work by the end of 25. 2) Planet temp increase now 1.6. The disasters amplified.

For the safety of your sources, you probably shouldn't say anything about anyone coming to you. Not that anyone did and not how many. Just the info they shared

I like Gemini for research. It's a great tool.

Yes. According to the article.

I Tried Google and Samsung's Next-Gen Android XR Headsets and Glasses, and the Killer App Is AI We got an early hands-on look at Samsung's mixed-reality headset and Google's glasses, powered by an all-seeing assistant.

And Goggle is in the XR hardware market. I'm excited about their AI integration into this headset. I can't wait to try it out.

I went to the Balloon Museum on Nov 6. I needed a lift me up, and this did the job. Beautifully. I had a blast. Went by myself. I have many more photos to post, but you get 4 here. You just need to go for yourself.

It's in downtown LA. Worth it. Just go. Balloonmuseum.world/tickets-los-angeles
