David Brooks has articulated a compelling argument why Hamas must be defeated. This won't be pleasant or easy but I think David is right.

Join your vcard and rss feed to create a complete profile
So that's when I realized, if there's a widely used open standard for feeds, and another for profiles, why not join the two? By embedding an RSS/Atom feed URL in a vCard, it becomes a single file that has all the information needed to identify a person and follow their updates. Since it's a single file, it's easy to share it with others as well as store the vCards for all your connections locally.

This is pay-walled by the times but is definitely worth trying to see. Every one of them made me smile and the artist seems to be a joy and someone who loves the city.

You read an article by someone and you think this person is different. Alec Wilkinson is that kind of person. I read the first article (about learning math at 65) not knowing who he was but then I learned he was a writer for the New Yorker for the last 40 years. Here is a link to an article in the New Yorker about the jazz guitarist Julian Lage. If I could only be this cool!

This article about the production (and shortage) of 155m Artillery Shells is informative and brings you back to the industrial basis of war. The 10 minute video is worth the time and many readers will have never seen a close up of an industrial process.

Paper wings, all torn and bent
You made me feel that
They were heaven sent
Paper wings, not real at all
But they took me high
Enough to really fall
Your paper kisses faded too soon
Just like a paper rose
'Neath a paper moon
Paper wings, paper wings
Oh how could I expect
To fly with only paper wings?
Angels were singing, didn't you hear
If only I'd listened close
When they whispered in my ear
Paper wings, paper wings
Oh how could I expect
To fly with only paper wings?
I tried to fly but found
That I had only paper wings

Connecticut Business and Industry Association [CBIA] has a good article concerning AI, "Ten Strategies for Using AI in Manufacturing" I just recently learned about the group.

David Brooks has an article today in the NYT that is better than usual. It's about how to return to a positive-sum world of growth, innovation and peace. I'm all for that.
Michelle Goldberg also has a good article in today's NYT. America Must Face Up to Israel’s Extremism

Corby finished her Christmas puzzle. It takes a lot of work to complete these 1000 piece puzzles but she is pretty good at it.
