New warfare.

My friend Joe was reading a book that we discussed a few months back about modern warfare.  How wars have changed over the last 80 years, from hand to hand combat to suface-air missiles to nukes to… pirates?

Seems to be a regression than a progression, but militant/extremeist groups have been mobilized by the easy access to big weapons, and the ability to stay viable due to their small numbers.  And not only with pirates – Talibans, Al Qaedas, you know.  Needless to say, it’s clear we have yet to figure out how to deal with these sorts of small and powerful groups.  I think trying to woo other small militant groups with weapons and money has proven to be even stupider than it sounds on paper.  Not to mention emerging types of warfare, especially in the cyber realm.

US Navy – kudos x thanks.

So after a few misses late last week, I have been informed that the CBC Radio 1 interview will be on tomorrow after all my misguided and narcissistic plugging.  I spent 45 minutes with another interviewer last week who had trouble understanding my rationale for the song. RegardIess, I will record the track for all to hear demain.

Happy Easter Holiday.

More Shai Agassi.

I would be this guy’s coffee bitch.  I would also be his hair gel purchaser, his newspaper clipper, his dog poop picker upper, and his Croatian girlfriend breaker upper in case he was too busy.  I’m that kind of guy.

Here’s Shai Agassi on you and your dog trainer’s favourite website, TedTalks.  For those who aren’t overly interested in the electric car revo, Shai Agassi is a man with a plan.  His plan is to convince heads of state to go beyond petroleum, and no not the marketing-savvy oil company.  He’s talking about a fully integrated carbon-free transportation system.  Already starting in countries near you – Israel, Hawaii, Australia oh my.
