When all children receive a high quality education that develops their critical thinking and problem solving skills poverty, hunger, and slavery will no longer affect millions.

Education gives hope, confidence and curiosity. And that breaks the cycle of powerlessness that leads to suffering.

Safe AI for kids

I just signed an open letter from everyone.ai to support their effort to educate the public on the importance of building systems that protect children from the harmful aspects of AI, while leveraging the potential benefits in education.

I don’t normally post pictures of food but last night’s meal was extraordinary. There was also an almond soup that didn’t look like much but was delicious.

Sometimes peace isn't found in striving for more, but in pausing and realizing that you already have enough. The sunrise, the quiet moments, the people who have stayed with you—these are the true treasures we overlook when we search for "something bigger."

Feeling sad for the victims of the fire here in Hong Kong. I volunteer for Crossroads Foundation and I know they are already collecting furniture and clothes for the victims. If you can help, please use this link to donate.

Nelson Mandela said "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world".

I'm getting ready to interview Shai Reshef, the President of the University of the People, for my podcast and this is going to be a must listen episode. He is changing the world.

Trump could tell Pam Bondi to release the Epstein files anytime he wants but instead he is telling her to open investigations so she can refuse to release the files because of pending investigations.

He didn't flip flop. He setup Bondi to take the heat while he claims he is for releasing the files.

Did a day trip to Shenzhen last week and had our first experience riding the subway (MTR) there. It's clean and modern. The image is the map of all of the trains and stations in Shenzhen. With a population of almost 18m, Shenzhen has grown to be the third most populated city in China.

Sunset in Thailand. My son took this picture on a recent trip. I hope it brings some peace and calm to all my fiends on Blue Sky.

Google LearnLM - an AI-powered learning coach.
I took it for a test drive and published a short episode with my impressions. It is going to be interesting to see how disruptive this is in the EdTech market.

I'll say it again. Education is the great equalizer. The below post points out the negative effects of taking education away. I like to focus on the positive effects of providing a quality education to all children.

Channeled Apple Snails lay clusters of eggs that look like bubble gum. They are an invasive species in Asia and we saw these eggs all over the golf course yesterday as we walked around the Hong Kong Open golf tournament.

Don’t touch! The eggs are toxic.

Why do over 20k accounts follow @buseum.bsky.social ?

The account has 0 posts and only reposts Sanat Tarihi. I guess people just blindly add accounts to startup lists but it also makes me wonder if people have some monetization dream that drives them to pursue lots of followers here. Not me.

Celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary in Egypt. An amazing trip with the love of my life. Life is good!

Just got home to Hong Kong last night. Still unpacking and catching up on sleep.

Did you miss me? I was in China for a few days and Bluesky and all my social media apps were blocked. Now I'm back in Hong Kong where I'm not behind the great China firewall.

We had a nice trip with a group of 20 friends, and I'm glad to be home again.

I'm grateful for all those that have followed me. It isn't about reaching a number. It's about community. Finding like minded people, openly sharing ideas and positivity.

Thanks for sharing beautiful pictures and thoughts that brighten my day. I hope I can brighten your day now and then.

This week is the Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong and it marks 40 years since I met my wife in Orlando.

I didn't know 40 years ago how much my life would improve because of her, but finding the love of my life changed everything. I am truly a lucky man.
