If you're really smart.... (I was gonna add the alt text but AI is high as a kite, talkin' about "a woman is sitting at a table in a living room holding a cat .") ... 👀

"What AI has not changed is accountability. Every line of code I ship, every pull request I approve, and every design document I author, still carries my name. If something breaks, that responsibility is mine, not ChatGPT's or Claude's or Gemini's. "

That Knicks game was waaay too close..

🙄🥱… Anybody who is truly “going analog in 2026” (call it what it is - highly priortizing offline activities) will not be on this bandwagon of making all these grand announcements (like so many other New Year resolutions that don’t last), they will simply be like the Nike slogan and “just do it”.

This day 57 years ago. Earthrise. A remarkable view of Earth hoving into view as the Apollo 8 command module flew over the lunar surface. That's us. That's home.

Be careful driving out there tonight!

I like to listen to and, at the same time, read articles that provide AI narration. This one sounds good, proving that the tech is getting better, especially when natural vocal inflections align with punctuation. I'll give this 95%, only because "robotaxis" doesn't rhyme with "praxis" & "relaxes".

Back to #Python coding.

I really don't want to get a new Mac for the home office but this one is 11 years old already and even FF and Safari lag sometimes....(and now the internal drive is nowhere near maxed out)....ugh

Yes, I will be getting a last minute gift tmr bc I wasn't tryna deal with the madness this evening....🙄

“…stay away from AI toys for the sake of their children’s safety…It’s very clear that these toys are being released without research or regulatory guardrails…One step we as a society, as those who care for children, can do right now is to boycott buying these AI toys.” DUHHHH, ya think?? 🙄

The combination of Apple's AirTag and the Find My app is so golden to me - great invention.

#19orwell84 ....smh....

I’m just one of those upstarts that stays two macOS versions behind because of stability.

Mine still works :-) www.cultofmac.com/apple-histor...

Happy Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year. These short days (less light, looking like it's midnight at 5pm) have been low key annoying me. Tomorrow the days will slowly grow a little longer, daylight-wise, so in the words of Sean Paul...

Cleaning up my blog roll and finding that there are less broken links than I anticipated.

Try this on my minidiscs and CDs, see how far you get ...😜

Presence as theme for 2026 Academics and students being present with research quoted Politicians and voters being present with each other Digital spaces have lost verifiable trust and truth

@vinterkarusell.substack.com has shared an excellent read with some context I recognized but never gave it much thought (ex. audio quality) and it made me post an addendum blog to it - my last one for 2025. Shout out to @dkwyatt3.bsky.social , we've had many related discussions about this over time.

I'm failing to see why there is all this hype over this Coldplay concert chick...waste of scroll space. You can make choices but you can NEVER choose the consequences...is that, like, an epiphany or something?

Archiving to DVD, then later recording to MD. Eating Cheez-Its at 1:08am, then going to bed...promise.

I always find it a bit ironic when tech is developed to help an individual “touch grass”, do you?

EtherealX aims to take on SpaceX's Falcon 9 with its fully reusable rocket.

Introduce yourself with four spacecraft.

Lazy…

Ugh, I go through this every winter wit these dry air winters in the DMV. Need to get some sort of humidity provision/sensor checks in this studio or else I'm gonna have to treat a few guitar necks and their frets....grrr.

@jamarmontez.com I read your post about "Light Years". Good one, a comment was left.

"Companies everywhere are scrambling to force AI into where it isn't needed, or wanted, and all it ends up doing is causing the complete enshittification of whatever it is." I could be wrong but it appears "opt-out" is becoming less common. Alternative browser recommendations are in the comments.

Gotta get the Christmas decorations up….

"Hey 19" (never had an AOL address).

Christmas cards ready for the mail carrier. I still like engaging in and having others do the same when it comes to receiving and reading actual Christmas cards via the convenience of the electronic substitution approach.
