Stark from Earth @ LS @tonyfromls@qoto.org

Got myself in an accident at home. The heavy bolo that was sheated fell from the top of my clothing shelf it slid from a rag and then it fell with the handle base hitting my little pinky on the right foot. Grunted hard and loud and the foot pinky is swollen.

I guess no running for a week or 2 since I'm using forfoot landings as it will hurt my foot pinky.

Did a run today, 15km run. I still need a week to get back to the 21km run.

Did a gym today and worked out the muscle groups I have not worked out yesterday. Took a bit heavier weight for the biceps and the triceps workouts.

Did a run for a supposed 21km but at 3.2km I got lazy so I decided to cancel it.

Resting today and tomorrow is still on software engineering review.

Did a gym workout today around afternoon and went home and slept the rest of the afternoon 😅

Was planning for a long run tonight but I got lazy and ate a lot instead.

I been away from MIT-OCW studies and I miss it but I still need to prepare for technical interviews hence still at the software engineering particularly in Java tech stack.

What a beautiful weekend. So some updates:

- I cancelled the plan on starting up a PMC company. The outlook isn't going well because I realized, it's hard to get into the industry without a solid network of contacts as the industry is well guarded by trust, network, and strong vetting.

- Not even a chance to work as a PMC operator. The vast market of the industry is monopolized by the US and Europe and UK comes next. The remaining percentage is very small. Security clearance is needed, infantry and or special ops work is required. Europe and UK has similar requirements. I tried submitting my CVs around but it seems it only got one look and it went to the trash 😅

- I am on track on studying course 6-5, and course 8 of MIT via an equivalent MIT-OCW courses.

- Decided to continue my journey towards a second degree but with the tremendous breakthrough in AI and the upcoming Physical AI, the local BSEE has become much more obsolete and BSCpE or BS Computer Engineering has become more significant. I will get on a BSCpE program and is fully asynchronous and online, which is also ABET.

- A solution on cybersecurity and a revenue for a dual use defense tech company is in the works but sadly my initial business partner whom I tried to onboard isn't interested maybe because she isn't a technical person and didn't appreciate and see the success for this idea, hence I am still looking for a partner who is good in business.

- Going back to Software Engineering and got a series of interviews already hence been busy reviewing the backend tech stack and getting my knowledge and skills back in shape. Some gray areas I still need to work on particularly on containers, CI/CD, and cloud, cause I forgot most of the commands 😆

- Physical workout is still maintained with a bit more focus on martial arts empty hand but the long distance runs took a rest for a bit.

- Got some enemies from the profession of arms because I called them out for unethical actions and then I was put into surveillance. For quite sometime they know my movements and my internet activity. After installing VPN they suddenly became blind. Looks like either my router in my sister's house far away from me, or my ISP has been compromised but they are blind now after setting up VPN.

Got surprised the second time around regarding the progress of AI these days.

The first shock was the advent of LLM spearheaded by ChatGPT and now with the recent announcement during NVIDIA GTC Keynote 2026 which introduced a new engineering paradigm approach to developing physical devices which is now coined as Physical AI.

I need to get back to studies but not formal anymore since the BSEE and BSCpE programs are either not keeping pace with the developments in Physical AI or that they are still far from MIT-OCW approach and quality.

My plan for a defense company will have to embrace the Physical AI and surprisingly, MIT has evolved their EE curriculum closer to Cyber Physical Systems which is the nature of Physical AI.

In this regard, is a big shift and a return to STEM studies but this time self-study and using the mapped courses of MIT to MIT-OCW both in course 6-5 which is Electrical Engineering with Computing and course 8 which is Physics.

That means I will have to put to the back burner the self-study in theoretical physics for now using the books of Susskind, Morse & Feshbach, Jeffrey and Jeffreys, and that of Watler Thirring. Prioritizing engineering physics for now with course 8 from MIT mapped to MIT-OCW.

Everything is aligning specially that I have decided to pull a team from my comrades in the PMC training to start our very own PMC aligned with the modern nature of PMC these days which blurs with a defense tech company.

We are not only going to provide both tactical and technical security, together with risk management services but also logistics, and systems which includes autonomous ones.

I forgot to toot about my progress.

Already finished the International Security and Risk Management.

Gym workout today.

Alright, So I have decided to rebrand my social media accounts and that all related to my "shadow" side remains at the shadows and this account should only reflect my STEM endeavors.

Political instability, terrorism, and insurgency topic is done.

Now at Organized Crime, Kidnap, Extortion, and Piracy topics.

Active surveillance last night while I was on my way home running the 21Km.

Was able to detect with counter-surveillance and avoid with anti-surveillance. Had to deploy Surveillance Detection Route to confirm presence of surveillance and emergency route was used.

Additional security protocols activated upon reaching home, had to sweep area with possible IED, active human threat, and surveillance device.

Intelligence Analysis of the surveillance incident suggest highly likelihood that it was from a VIP PSD team that I passed by flagging me as a potential threat hence surveillance teams were deployed against me.

At political, terrorism, and insurgency movements topic.

The good thing about ISRMP is that intelligence is in the picture and it helps shape strategic and tactical threat decision making.

Just woke up and continuing on threat levels topic in ISRMP course.

I'll be honest about this. The ISRMP certification is actually like a degree program without the minors.

The certification is broad and deep yet they still offered it as a certificate instead of a diploma.

Still best though.

Moving to second module of the ISRMP course.

2nd day successful Ramadan but I was only able to run 9km.

First day of successful Ramadan fasting and did a light gym workouts focusing more into Wudu and Salah and some Quran verses.

Going to study ISRMP or International Security and Risk Management Professional Course.

Later will also get back on MIT-OCW on Calculus for some review and on Theoretical Physics.

Still at the transition phase preparation from software engineer to tactical security operations and risk management.

Ramadan starts today for me and I need to focus and double time on International Security and Risk Management Professional Course.

All set for the 10km forced march with 32kg rucksack.

Evening forced march harooooo!
