Using AI As a Creative Partner

About a week ago, I proverbially kicked myself in the butt and decided I needed to get back to doing some writing. I’ve definitely wanted to develop more Pub Tales (it goes with the site, right?). Additionally, I’ve had an…

9/11 Is a Difficult Day For Me

Somehow, this time of year always seems to sneak up on me. I wasn’t personally involved with any of th events of that day in 2001. My mother used to work in NYC, but had retired. I hadn’t worked in…

Artificial Intelligence or Just a Superpowered Spreadsheet?

Note: This had been sitting, unfinished, for about a month while I was trying to find a good banner image to go with it (or, failing that, possibly get one made). Both activities failed, so – just enjoy the post?…

I’ve Moved!!!

No, no – I haven’t physically moved (unless you count puttering around my house – and you shouldn’t). Rather, I’ve moved electronically. Virtually? More specifically, while this is still the same Nowhere Pub you’ve been visiting before, just like the…

For a while, I’ve been annoyed by some of the quirks and foibles of the design of my site. I won’t get into the details of what I was annoyed about – it’s not important – but it’s been something…

Changing Myself

In many ways, this is a follow-up post to Finding Profound Wisdom in Fiction. If you haven’t read that one yet, you really should as you probably won’t understand some of the basic ideas here otherwise. Note that this post…

Other Fictional References

First off – Yeah, it’s been a while since I posted anything. I wish I could say I’ve been busy, but that would be far from the truth. The reality is more a combination of an extreme lack of inspiration…

Parenting Failure

Ok, so not really, but maybe just a tiny bit? One of the common activities of parents, at least throughout all of my early childhood, was the creation and assembly of photo albums as a method of documenting the early…

Cooking – “I Was Today Years Old…”

Well, maybe it was a few days ago years old, but it’s still a very recent revelation, What Are You Talking About? I’ve been cooking for well over four decades. Yes, I’m in my mid-fifties now, but I am Gen…

[See at bottom for update.] From my previous post regarding technology ahead of its time, I now jump to a current frustration. Within the last few weeks, I decided I wanted to migrate my “gaming PC” upstairs to be close…
