Sarah Palin - The best thang to hit American TV since the Brady Bunch

Whether you like her or not, have to admit Sarah Palin's short rise to fame has captivated all of us. For a politician she has many unique qualities in a honor roll student + high school cheerleader kind of way. Compared to other female politicians who tend to look plain, simple and corporate, she’s attractive in a school teacher of way. She’s in great shape especially for a mother of a zillion kids and baby. She has the book smart, conservative, wholesome, good girl next door image of the 1950’s. She’s appealing, fresh, energetic, quick witted and obviously knows how to work the camera , behind her geeky yet stylish glasses with her subtle winks, pointed hand gestures, cool eye sweeps of the crowd, and warm smiles.

Even the big wig news hosts, Joe Scarborough (MSNBC) and Greta Van Susteren (FOX), who are usually hardnosed interviewers warmed up to her in their first interviews, tossing her soft ball questions instead of hard hitting controversial ones. Actually, she smiles more than Hilary Clinton who looks serious most of the time with her lukewarm, stiff and authoritative appearance. You can tell in her hardened face and forced smiles that she’s been through a lot, personally and professionally. And obviously, she just isn’t has attractive as Palin. In their high school days, Palin was probably voted as Ms. Congeniality and Best Looking while Clinton was picked as Most Intelligent. It’s a no brainer that if Palin and her husband (who’s equally attractive and fit) of 20 years are still married and making babies, then you know they’ve got it goin’ on.

She’s even on Tina Fey and Paris Hilton’s mind. Fey’s dead on skits have been such a hit that Saturday Night Lives' s ratings continue to skyrocket after being in long coma. Even the 20-something’s are talking about her. When the last time Paris said someone was hot besides her? Most recently, her involvement and denial in an ethics probe during her tenure as Alaska’s governor continues to raise eyebrows and valid concerns about her use abuse of power in government. Overall, Palin’s physical attraction and subtle sex appeal, hometown goodness, tireless spirit, quick wit and controversial background make for a heck of a long albeit eclectic laundry list that no other person can match.

In case you're wondering, I'm voting for the Obama - Biden ticket. Speaking (typing) of which, check out my "Political Clips on Helium.com". I debated how Joe Biden won the VP Debate hands down. Can't wait for the second Presidential debate!

Alzheimer's hits again

I just found out that actor Sean Connery, who passed away last October, died of complications due to Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's debilitates cognitive function. The cause of his death hit me three-fold: He was my mother's favorite movie star, they are both in their 90s, and she too has Alzheimer's. According to a recent   AARP feature story ,  I was shocked that the great jazz singer Tony Bennett has Alzheimer's. Tony was also another idol of my mom. She would always perk up whenever she heard his infamous "I left my heart in San Francisco" ballad. Photo by Dyna Lopez In 2017, one year after his diagnosis, my mom, brother, and I watched him for the first time performing in San Francisco to a packed audience amongst a sea of silver-haired ladies. He was 90 at the time and did not disappoint. He belted out hit after hit and showed no signs of the debilitating disease. She sang along to a melody that was unfamiliar to my brother and me. My brother asked her, ...

Obsidian Security's Ben Johnson - From the NSA to Emerging Cybersecurity Startups

I've worked at rapid growth companies and emerging technologies are always on the milestone. In the Cybersecurity space, tools in  security operations and analytics such as  EDR, NTA, UBA, SOAR, and recently, XDR have evolved into household terms.  So what's next?  CDR - Cloud Detection and Response When I heard about cloud security, I researched and came  across an online interview - "Frictionless SaaS Security" -  with Ben Johnson, one of the Co-Founders of ​ Obsidian Security, ​ a three-year-old startup based in Newport Beach. "Frictionless" evokes visions of seamless, smooth, and easy deployment and use.  Is it really possible to deploy an uncomplicated cloud security solution that will address a very complex problem?  This frictionless solution is the next emerging tool called Cloud Detection and Response.  I found the interview very insightful as it dove into Ben’s backstory from working for the NSA ...

"Self Absorbed" in San Francisco

I've heard about the SF Asian Film Festival for the longest time but have never gone to see a film. I guess I just took advantage of the fact that because I live here, there's always next year, yada, yada yada. The truth is that I'm too busy with my own life to care what else is happening outside my perfect shiny bubble (movie title hint). I kid. I kid. Now where's my dam mirror??? That changed Friday when my friend invited me to hang out with some filmmaker friends to see their comedy premier, "Self Absorbed" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3459B5wDuZI at Sundance Cinemas (former Kabuki Theater) in Japantown, San Francisco. The plot is based on a story about a secret group of people with special powers. A smooth talking, silver coated bagel monger and a petite, energetic blue mop (say whaaaat?) are not your typical superheroes. Marvel are ya paying attention? The whimsical and light piece is one of the many works featured in the 94 minute short program serie...
