I got into Vickies   joy first, this is our adventure! maximizing virtousing resources Next week – a series about what seems like it’s…

Dreams A lot of cleaning, I was trying to get a broom so I could sweep my room and do yoga. There wass a kid in a vest who was helping my mom had the portable vacuum, there was a weird hardware store/warehouse in the basement or lower floor. We’ve come to a pinch point,…

I don’t think selling the videos is the way, the idea is to teach folks how to make the videos and foster appreciation, reverence and connection. In a year or two they’ll be AI enabled sex bots, so this is a window. But if we learn from Elon, make cars then shut down the car…

This all got started at the start of 2026, when the cosmos called me to have a test drive of Grok Imagine. I’ve seen profound changes in the art tech ecosystem since I arrived on planet 60 odd years ago, and what I discovered on Grok Imagine was as profound as anything, probably way more.…

Review of Orson Scott Card’s Speaker for the Dead 1985 Speaker for the Dead is the sequel to Enders Game and is a much more interesting story than the prior. The author himself says that EG was just the setup for SFTD, SFTD was the story he really wanted to tell. There is a lot…

John Scalzi’s Fuzzy Nation 2011 It’s an engaging and sparkling story, with lots of twists and turns and cliff hanger chapter endings.
