Joe Biden Projected Winner

Leave a reply

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are now projected by many of the news medias as the winner of the 20 Electoral Votes of the Common Wealth of Pennsylvania. And with that giving him the 273 Electoral Votes (279 by some counts) and the Win for the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. As someone with left of center political views I am excited by this news.

The fact that Biden might end up winning with more than 75 million votes cast in his favor is definitely something that I will looking at for a long time with great pride.

The fact that his opponent got north of 70 million votes in his favor is not something that I can, or will, ignore.

2020 US Election

Leave a reply

Last time I wrote about the US Election, it was about the 2016 US Presidential Election and it was focused more on the presidential election process. And it looks like I stopped writing / updating it on Oct 23rd. Wonder why I didn’t continue thru the end . . . .

Anyway, this time around I am writing, or at least I am starting to write, on the over all Election. I feel we have come to a point where we as individuals have to take some ownership in this whole political system. We have become so used to saying “it’s a broken system” without looking at what I can do about making this less broken.

Cloud Storage – Amazon S3 vs Google Cloud Storage

Leave a reply

I find myself at an interesting crossroad – for the first time I am considering Web Services from someone other than Amazon AWS. To be fair, I do find myself at this position because for the first time I am the one making these technological choices as opposed to being handed choices that were already made.

I have always wanted to try other services and this is the perfect situation.

I am choosing to deploy my react app on GCP with Firebase and will try to use both S3 and Google Cloud Storage to be able to compare.

    4 out of 10 people say they don’t have a single close friend who’s political views were different than their own

    That is what I think I heard on the radio this morning. Which cannot be a good thing, I thought to myself. And then I reminded myself that I am one of the 6. I have a friend who’s political views are polar opposite of mine and I can honestly say that I consider him one of my very close friend.

    But that brought up some other interesting thoughts.

    De surprise

    After both sign an agreement with a company that offers to end their lives when they least expect it, a dejected millionaire and a disheartened young woman fall in love and have to find a way to get out of their binding contracts.

    With a tag line like above, how was I supposed to start watching it. As I did, I realized that it was a foreign film and not the usual French or Italian or German or East European but Dutch. I don’t recall another Dutch movie that I have watched before.
