Where is Watson?

Instead of coding my new app, I’m sitting here, pondering the itches at my elbows that hint at a poison ivy infection picked up from hacking away the brush in the front yard ditches.

Brush?  A generic term, standing in for periwinkle (both Vinca major and its variegated leaf variety), privet, sweetgum, hickory, cedar, sumac, poison ivy, Virginia creeper, forsythia, deciduous ivy, and an unknown set of grasses that manage to push up into the sunlight.

Hackers aren’t just mainly guys who try to script their way into computer systems.

Speaking of which, where is that omniscient Watson computer system that can look at a person’s EMR set and determine one’s major illnesses?  Do I have to keep depending on the limited brainwave combinations of people to assess my father’s health?

Hey, I’m all about socialising in the moment, getting to know people and their motivations, giving back to them whatever makes them feel happy/wanted/needed/fulfilled.

However, I want most of all to put our social network to use for the sake of my father and his nuclear family right now.

Otherwise, I’ll open up the case that cradles the crystal ball and share with you the next few decades and centuries of technological advances that will make a subset of our global population very successful, including the means of complete ownership of political officeholders, with no cares about hiding how our population really works in every so-called enlightened age.

Do you know how many people’s backs, both local and foreign, you’re living on to create the time you call leisure and the objects you call luxury?

Do you know how many people, both local and foreign, are living off of you to support the time they call leisure and the objects they call luxury?

I’ll save those questions for a scenario in a future chapter of the story of our lives together.

Time to return to writing my app.  After all, so far I haven’t found a way to get apps to write themselves by reading my thoughts and figuring out exactly what I want and how to implement it on incompatible technology platforms, just like I haven’t found an automatic way to get doctors to act as one “the buck stops here” stop to solve my father’s medical problems.

I’ll catch up on thanking others soon.
