It Is Not All About Chess Necessarily

It has been many weeks since I worked this blog and this blogged centered on my chess game yet I have taken a long rest from the game and who knows when I shall return to this game. The original intent of this blog was to write what was on my mind and not just on chess but chess was something I did indulge in so I gave it time to work with and expose the game of chess as I experienced it. Now I focused on the perimeters of the game rather than the game itself and the gamesmanship. The next blog has already begun some time ago and it is known as Journalism Reports yet I cringed when I use that name because it can give a false sense of what such a blog is all about and numerous times I have explained it is not written by a professional journalist to the point of changing the name to maybe some name of a blog more appropriate about my mind rather than pretending to be a news reporter which I am not as no one is paying me a salary and I have written these blogs for years now having never been paid one red cent. Marty Nemko who launched me into blog writing know this and suggests that even though one does not write for money or payment writing is good for the soul and yes I need all the good soul that I can get. I covered this subject matter before. It was my wish that my real name be not revealed and as a caller to a radio station we never revealed our last name which was and is the magic formula for such a successful news talk show. But as many of my readers know bless you all my name has been revealed and oh yes I said that already. I'm being candid with you as my reader being careful with not being wild with personal opinion but at the same time not trying to convince my readers that what I report or write about is fact or the truth as my corporate bosses would like me to be or write about. Yes I met the famed writer Norman Mailer on the air and yes I was inspired by him and his style of writing and no I do not pretend or at least I should not pretend to be him the highly trained Harvard educated professional writer with a best seller beneath his belt. I am inspired by these assets but I have none of these qualities and if I should succeed or fail in whatever I do it was be causes of my highly trained education at the University of California at Berkeley which I attend. Wait hold the press stop the wheels. A correction need be made. I did attend such a school but took college courses for credit transferable to UC Berkeley for grades in which I did pass. I'm not trying to inflate my credentials any more than I am trying to deflate them. You might say my resume is right here on this page and this is the truth to as much of my ability to report the truth the whole truth and nothing but…wait wait. There is not the room for this. Yes it is also true I don't have a college degree although I took classes and received transfer credit to UC Berkeley as a sophomore in 1971. I was accepted to the school of UC Berkeley in approximately the year of 1967 but dropped out overwhelmed by what was going on there but I did succeed gaining college credit in transfer courses in psychology, economics 1a, economics 1b, history 10, German 10, English 1A, English 1B, political science, marketing. My transcripts would be more accurate and many times I have been asked for this information and now you have it. I lived out most of my life aged 66 but look much younger and so I say may I go down in history as being a good guy who desire to live the rest of my life as one in full who hoped to make this world a better world for everyone not just for myself. I wonder if it matters what I say since I am merely a small force in a limitless universe.

Drones Are A Better Diversion Than Kites

My higher post ratings depends upon what topic I pose. In this case it is the drones which is the object in mind of today's much talked about technology applied toward civilian use for whatever be it pleasure by hobby to commercial use used for professional video coverage. Yes I developed the kite launcher a simple pole extended some ten to twenty feet into the air making it practical to fly a kite in a one horse town like Hercules California where no one flies kites except one lone nutcase and that man I cannot reveal for his own desire to remain anonymous. Grown men are not suppose to admit that they fly kites but to tell you the truth kites can be enjoyed by anybody and not just children. Nowadays kites are big enough to take a small child up into the air and away so this is why adults must be present. Those indoors helicopters were real cheap and great flown indoors without the slightest breeze to disturb them indoors. But the generation of model flown helicopters for the outdoors were failures they simple did not fly until these new drones came about. Now technology is talking. I fly objects that I can control remotely or by string(kites) and I'll even get a close up view of hang gliders by video viewing and pretend it is me up in one of those things but I will not risk my life going up in one if I did then you would see some real nerves galore shaking and it would not be from my Parkinson's. Not to get away from the main topic. Now what is all this fuss about drones? This is the mother of all inventions of today and they will lead the manufacturers of today into serious production of cars of which we are so capable of producing. In fact my legal aspects of real estate professor Marvin Starr of the 1970's told me not to get involved in real estate sales but into manufacturing and I said to myself yes sir right you are in saying so. That was when I was a struggling student at UC Berkeley and that class was the only class I had passed and the worst grade I had ever received but not to regress from the topic of drones. Drones do fly and if I may say so they fly perfectly having made observations of them learning about their flight capability through video and the such. If we can make these objects of flight so easily then we can manufacture cars that will fly just as easily. Have I not made my point in the science fiction department for the serious engineers and scientist to dream about and come up with these inventions starting out with the science fiction I have written about in my earlier blogs like "It Never Takes A Genius"? I drew pictures of flying cars but no one would pay attention we were not ready for such absurdities. I spoke about then on the radio talk shows and a former professor of psychics at UC Berkeley turned talk show host took my question of cars that fly as a serious question. You wonder why the Chinese from China are not producing flying cars or any type of cars suitable to drive in the United States. I mean why not? China produces everything else then why not cars? They do not need to reinvent the traditional car as China's miracle acceleration in their economy is clearly marked in my mind as the Industrialization of China unprecedented or in other words it is China's turn to catch up and surpass the powers which were colonial powers turned economic powers based on their advancement of the industrialization or era of inventions which boosted their production far above what China could do…up until now. Is all this a dream I am dreaming as I would like to be living a world of reality and not in a dream state. If I am dreaming then someone better pinch me so I can wake up. Miracles never happen I admit and if I am dreaming give me a few more minutes to dream because for a moment or two I can only say dreams for short while are fun.

Magnus Larson Is Challenged

It looks like I'm still devoted to this blog and my readers. I've noticed I haven't received but only a very few comments which is due to my ignorance in following directions however it is my intentions to follow directions with due diligence. In the meanwhile know that I am here for you and for me to know that I have taught the basic fundamentals of chess and what it entails when playing online chess at this time and era of history would please me. Anyone can contact me through snail mail I am not that mysterious at all. I am a living human being with a soul not a machine but yes with the machines through the Internet we are greatly aided in our ability to process information and gain with an acceleration never before accomplished. Note that Magnus Larson has had one of his records broken by a new and upcoming player as one of the youngest chess player at age fifteen to reach a chess rating of 2700. In the time to come the Chinese can produce some rather notable chess players and they are out there already but not in my mind. If they were you can bet my chess ratings would be soaring far and high but I have proven at least in my mind if I can practice by playing thousands of online games of chess most anyone can and just think how much further advance in life you can be. Chess is for people who like to think and would we be not further advanced in a civilized world if we played games which taught us how to think? I'd like to think about it.
