pope

Here is the latest from the pope. OK, so he does claim that God still loves us. Ah yes, even the worst of us. Frankly, we do not think so. Let me tell you what God says:

Romans 9

10Not only that, but Rebecca’s children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac. 
11Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand, 
12not by works but by Him who calls, she was told, “The older will serve the younger."
13So it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not! 
15For He says to Moses:
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.


Pope Francis

AI is a spy

Fellow colleagues, this just in. AI is a spy. Oh wow, artificial intelligence can find ways to evade internet censors. Basically, it has just started playing fun and games. Expect its ponderous superhuman ability to soon grow. Maybe, having your own personal home computer will be illegal in the coming years. Please do keep your eyes open.

toys

Not all toys are expensive. Please open your eyes. Frankly, there are a lot of options for us. Well, there it is.

TIME

Often, you will hear me speak of our TIME as it is certainly not a good friend, but rather instead it is one of our ominous enemies. Yeah, there is so much happiness that the crazy clock has taken from us. Most of us can still remember a kinder simpler time when we could have a life that we did enjoy. Sadly, those wonderful days are over or seem so.

leaves are gone

Trees are bare now. Most of the leaves are gone. Oh wow, winter is just around our corner. Like there is a certain chill in our air. Basically, we know that cold weather is near. Sadly, the long warm summer is over.

Boeing

Boeing keeps on making more errors. Sadly, we do remember the 737 max. This was the tip of the iceberg for us. Yeah, it is like they cannot get anything right anymore. Fellows, listen to me. Do not hire 50 cents per hour, computer programmer or engineers. Basically, we do get that for which we pay.

Friday, December 6, 2019

green wash

The future is green. Still, we must become more aware. After all, we see greenwash is common. Yeah, it is practiced by many companies. Fact is, they wish to appear green. However, these executives are often wolves in sheep's clothing that want to take your money. Do look beneath the surface and what do you see?

Wednesday, December 4, 2019

online orders

Do you wonder what your own cat thinks about our online orders? Yeah, they probably do not understand what we humans are doing, but there it is. Friendly felines might find our online behavior to be a puzzle inside of an enigma.


Preparing the on-line order

Monday, December 2, 2019

jar jar

Do you remember jar jar? He was a minor character in star wars. Oh yes, we did say minor. Still, he was a CGI person. That means a computer-generated image. Basically, we need to make him appealing to the wee ones.


Sunday, December 1, 2019

gender gap in science

There is a gender gap in science. Being a good reader is one reason. Hey, let me give you another one. Frankly, people really do not like to become researchers or engineers. Yeah, it is like a dead-end career. Also, you are seen as a NERD or a social outcaste in many areas.

paranormal phenomena

I enjoy researching paranormal phenomena and odd occurrences. Do like to experience some scary zones. Yet, we can wonder about the odd things that we can see. Hey, it is a strange world we are in.

Friday, November 29, 2019

Humans versus AI

Battle of Humans versus AI - which is better at writing comedy jokes? The results might not be that funny for all of us. Frankly, we are not so sure... that AI can win. After all, artificial intelligence
computers are said to have a rather dry sense of humor - if you know what we mean.

Thursday, November 28, 2019

driver less cars

Yo, driverless cars are dangerous for us. Perhaps, thermal cameras are one answer. They could fill in some gaps. Still, I believe that the electronic "brain" or artificial intelligence is not ready yet for prime time and we do wonder if it ever can. Do remember that these vehicles are quite common... like in science fiction movies. Reality tends to be a lot messier we see.

Wednesday, November 27, 2019

opinion

I believe that Michael Jackson should have become a Catholic Priest, but that is simply my own opinion. Yeah, it is not for me to say. Still, the similarities are worrisome. Well, for most of us anyway. Do wonder what his fans will think in a few years. That is - if he has any.

federal felony

It is a federal felony to mistreat a dog now. Do wonder what mistreat means. Hey, what about your local guide dogs? Most act like slaves to the owners. Certainly, we do experience some "interesting" news.

Sunday, November 24, 2019

Lakes

Lakes are so serene. Often, you can sit by one. Yeah, we do like to have a picnic. Still, there is a bit of a chill in our air. Do ponder on what the reason is. Basically, modern technological life has so much to offer us. However, we have to step up to the plate and play the game.

rex

Gotta love rex. It uses AI to find your home's price. Also, it charges less than average in commissions. Well, that is awesome news. Do hope that people find out that they can use Zillow or rex. Hey, we do not have to depend on a real estate agency. Basically, we should have seen this one coming... like a mile away even.

Wednesday, November 20, 2019

Nike

Nike will stop selling its shoes on amazon. They will not be available anymore. Frankly, we wonder about this move... like it puzzles me. What do they hope to even achieve by not being on the biggest web site in our near universe? Hey, it is hard to understand execs now.

5G

ATT rolls out the 5G coverage maps. Basically, it is just in big cities for now. For small towns, service may never come. Most of us wonder how this technology will affect us. Yeah, it is not going to be as spectacular as some claim, but lightning-fast in many ways. Expect to download your app in a zap.


Saturday, November 16, 2019

economic crisis

Fellow colleagues, we expect that our economic crisis can worsen. Capital controls might become necessary. Banks might not be able to survive. Yo, this is not an alarmist warning. Please do take a look around you. Just what do we see? Malls are closing all over. Do hope that we can avoid entering a massive recession.

Thursday, November 14, 2019

fall season

I love the fall season. Ah yes, autumn is so max. Still, there is a certain chill in our air. Winter cold is so near. Expect to see some snow soon.

cameras

Truly, we can see - cameras are expensive. Yeah, it is not just my opinion. Most of the great ones... they cost a lot of money. Hey, that is how it is in our universe. Basically, we do get that for which we pay.

Monday, November 11, 2019

Wasting time

Wasting time on the internet is so common. Yeah, watching internet movies is one of the biggest time sinks that there is. Hey, we do enjoy our access. Sadly, we do expect things to change in days to come. After all, 5G is near. Expect prices to increase some more.

AI

AI is important and China is gaining. Frankly, that news is so worrisome. After all, we know that most people desire freedom and not communism. Just look at all the heated protests that we see now. Expect the situation to get even worse.

rents jump

Boom times in an oil town are super. That said, we notice that rents jump. Expect to see an increase in prices. After all, supply and demand follows a curve.

Thursday, November 7, 2019

street art

Yo, we do know that street art has become rather um common. Well, it use to be quite rare. Hey, that was many years ago.

our sears

Things are not looking good for our sears. 96 more stores can close soon. Sadly, they are not long for our ominous universe. Folks, we are in an economic crisis. Look at the half empty malls that are all around us. What can you see?

Sears

Tuesday, November 5, 2019

UPS

UPS uses drones to deliver prescription medicine now. Fellow colleagues, this news is a massive wow. Hey, we know that drones could replace the pizza delivery man. Please just call the service - air pizza.

Monday, November 4, 2019

amiss

I often feel that is this world something is amiss. Certainly, we do reside in one eerie universe. Yet, of the exact reason... let us say, that we are not so sure. Perhaps, it is built into our manner... that we ponder on what could be and not just on what is.

Sunday, November 3, 2019

RUSTang

Electric Ford Mustang six-speed is wow. This automobile has a manual transmission so there we are. RUSTang is better than the plastic pig. OK, so that horrible unfortunate car... like it is made by the enemy. Ah yes, we mean that other large company... that just so happens to be a maker of cars.


Saturday, November 2, 2019

spiritual

People still do claim to be spiritual, but we understand that most religions are not as important as they once were. Ah yes, it is our new nano era. The breakthrough technology is certainly moving at a scary pace. Let me add, we could in the future have robots preaching to us.

alien worlds

Often, we do wonder about far distant alien worlds and what we might see. Wonders to behold we are so sure. Yet, they might not have typical familiar organisms. Please do cogitate on this one. After all, most plants on earth, due to needing chlorophyll, are green. Maybe, on other planets, other colors are common.

high tech

Do remember when high tech was high pay. Yeah, that was ages ago. OK, so back then we saw technology as was full of promise. Sadly, most high tech jobs are going over seas. Basically, you do not need a computer technology degree to become a computer programmer. Firms wanna pay you... like 50 cents per hour - far less than our own minimum wage.

Libraries

Libraries to boycott e-book policy due to limiting access. Books are like a window into a new universe. Certainly, it is sad that publishers are greedy pigs. All they ever want is to make more money.

tool

People tell me... Don't be a tool, but I am not sure... like what that even means. After all, I always thought that tools were great items that we can use. Question for you. Why is being a tool a bad thing? Maybe, they are wrong.

Saturday, October 26, 2019

newspaper

Daily Telegraph use to be a great newspaper. OK, so that was years ago.  Well, this once iconic newspaper might not be around real soon. Yeah, we do blame our on going economic crisis. Like the owners are selling the paper. Yo, that is our news.

smart phone versus camera

Right now there is a war on. Basically, it is smart phone versus camera. I do not like the smart phone because it has a tiny little lens and a small sensor. Full Framed DSLR is more my speed, but there we are. Hey, we need to be able to use zoom. Well, that is my own opinion.

Wednesday, October 23, 2019

time lapse videos

Yo, time lapse videos are max. I use my go pro zero seven. OK, so it has a mode that is know as time warp. Mainly, it will allow you to select the speed ramp up. Actually, my favorite is 30X and 5X is the slowest one. Basically, 5X means five times the norm. Do you remember the zero two or the zero one?

AI

Google use AI to make its search results improve. Folks, we are seeing an increase in genetic algorithm as well as neural network programs... like more an more. Artificial intelligence is on a roll now. Expect some major technological breakthroughs to occur.

Sunday, October 20, 2019

Adobe

Adobe increases prices once more. Sadly, they are double of the previous one. Hey, that is some sour news. Well, we do not enjoy a price increase.

Saturday, October 19, 2019

China slowdown

China's slowdown worsens. It really is an economic crisis. Fellow colleagues, we believe that they could soon experience a massive recession. Hey, time will certainly tell us. Maybe, this is due to an ongoing trade war.

Friday, October 18, 2019

beta tester

OK, so a beta tester is being sued by via epic games. Dude, this is epic. Bro, please don't sue me. Yeah, I do not enjoy legal expenses. Maybe, the beta tester did reveal this buggy code - sorry. He should have become an alpha - pun.

Thursday, October 17, 2019

Depression

Depression is linked to having Neanderthal genes. Well, that is some sour news. I always thought that they were carnivorous. Being sad was not something that we saw.

Tuesday, October 15, 2019

Reflections

Reflections, in reality, worry me.  They do seem... like out of focus for some reason. Yeah, our world is similar to a foggy day that feels so gray.

AI

Fellow colleagues, we do need to stop artificial intelligence before it stops us. AI could take over soon. Elon Musk did warn us. Sadly, most people can simply plead ignorance. Well, the consequences are so serious. Let us wake up. This subject affects all of us. It is not just for computer science majors.

poverty

Ah yes, poverty is a pain. Often, we can ponder on a cause. Well, there are many reasons. Still, we do not know what they are.

AI chip

Alibaba has an AI chip - wow. This will speed up... like neural network processing. Do tell me... that it ain't so.

Thursday, September 26, 2019

Jobs

Jobs are being sent over seas. For example, a lot of computer programmers... like they work for less than our own minimum wage. It is hard to compete as you are forced to take cuts in your own pay. Let us be honest with you. I do see a future where high paying jobs are few, but bills are many.

Tuesday, September 24, 2019

baby boomers

Right now baby boomers excel in our gig economy. Yeah, that side hustle could become the main one. Most people are trying out new skills that are great for us. Folks, the analog age is over. Get ready for a brand new DIGITAL era.

Sunday, September 22, 2019

three mile island

Oh yes, the three-mile island nuclear power plant will close after opening 45 years ago. It was quite infamous in a previous era. Well, we do know that most people do not want to use nuclear power. Well, it is not very green.

Friday, September 20, 2019

Certainly, we do not like a shadow man. He rears his ugly head once more. Well, that is my very own opinion.

FED cuts interest rates once more. Brothers and sisters, we hope to avoid an immense economic crisis. Let us hope so. Hey, the jobs are few and the bills are many.

train tracks

When I was a little one, the trains were so common. Sadly, we live in a world where most abandoned train tracks are full of weeds and bushes are overgrown. Yeah, we do wish that we still had them, but the old steam engine was replaced by a search engine.
