AI Writes Seinfeld
The other day, I had a friend send me a video of a Seinfeld parody where the characters are from Mario Bros. Since the AI thing has become so prolific and it’s increasingly obvious people are just throwing anything at the wall in an attempt to “go viral”, my first…
Some Reason for Optimism!
After losing an entire night worrying about my family’s Dwindling reserves (and having a long convo with an old friend with a financial background) I settled on giving things a few weeks, then cashing out my smaller retirement account and taking time to finish projects and let things settle down…
Paid to Meme?

Not Impressed with the new PR Movie
The new Power Rangers Netflix movie came out recently and I kept meaning to watch it. Wife went to sleep early yesterday so I turned it on. It was an interesting take on characters who’ve been off screen for… two decades? But my overall impression was low enough I could…
Making Google Money
Every time I get one of these “your edit helped,” emails from Google, I just think, “I did free work and helped make Google $62 billion last year.” This is why, for the most part, I stick to editing on OpenStreetMap. Much less restrictive usage policy and it’s not directly…
