why i don’t like “ai”

This morning, I typed up the following because of reasons. I could probably write an entire book about this subject, but I’ll try to sum up my objections to “AI” as follows: 0. “Artificial Intelligence” is a misnomer.a. It’s not artificial. It’s made up of incalculable amounts of human effort and natural resources. b. It’s …

an apostrophe and a writing update

So. I recently had an epiphany. Lightning struck my brain, as an infamous hook-handed fellow once proclaimed. For years, I’ve said that I wanted to blog more frequently. Regularly, even. Hell, I’d even settle for semi-regularly. But no matter how much I want it, I never seem to able to remember to do it. Other …

let’s get dark for a bit, shall we?

I wrote this back in mid-September. I don’t know why I didn’t publish it then. It might be a poem. I don’t know that either. ____________________________________________________________________ Had a convo with Josh last week that altered my opinion of the USA. And by altered, I mean worsened. So. If, like me, you grew up immersed in …

the obituary of innocence says do not comply

This was going to be a handwritten entry in my journal, but I think it will cause more beneficial ripples if I put it here. The blogging format will unavoidably alter what I say and how I say it, but that might not be a bad thing. Maybe I’ll know for sure 20 years from …

oh, and i published another book; or: i am terrible at the marketing business

LONG story short, Elfled’s story is out in the world. Considering how much I love her and what I went through to get her here, I truly am not doing her justice. Sorry, Elfled. But I missed the window of making this post part of my all-too-brief book launch, so we’ll have to content ourselves …

what do you call someone who stands by these statements?

These statements are not comprehensive and are subject to revision at my whim. I frequently don’t know what I think about something until I have verbalized it either in writing or in spoken words. These statements are part of my attempt to figure out where I stand on ALL THE THINGS and how to quantify …

books i read in 2022

Well, this is a month late, but better that than not at all, IMHO. YMMV. 2022’s reads were more of a mixed bag than what I usually end up with in my reading year. Some of these were cramazing (***) and some were just so-so. I revisited a lot of books from decades ago and …

the one where brash louts crash my kid’s birthday party

Yesterday, we celebrated my kid’s 10th birthday with friends in the park. (Um. Let’s just take a moment to note that this small human I helped create, carried around inside my body for the better part of a year, and then expelled from an exceedingly small orifice in my body is now A DECADE OLD. …
