I have been busy lately. For that reason I did not have time to do anything special for President’s Day. I present a quote from an article I wrote about an interesting passage from the Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge: As I looked on him and realized that he personally represented the glory and dignity of the United...
I was sent a video of a deer eating a begonia. I thought to myself that begonias do not sound like ideal deer food. According to Coast Redwood Adventures, begonias are a deer-resistant plant. Granting the caveats in the CRA article that deer-resistant is not deer-proof, I have reason to question the deer resistance...
Quoted Viral Deepfake Demo Prompts ByteDance to Limit New AI Video Tool by He Qitong (Sixth Tone) Within just three days of release, Chinese tech giant and TikTok owner ByteDance has temporarily restricted features in its new generative video model. The company announced changes after a popular content creator...
Bookmarked The tool, the craft, and the joy by Wojtek Powiertowski (behindtheviewfinder.com) If your identity as a technologist is primarily defined by what you're against, against corporate exploitation, against AI, against whatever's new, then you've handed the thing you oppose the power to define you. You become...

Suffice it to say, I am a fan of the latter three Persona entries (I have yet to play...
Bookmarked Ask a Nerd: Does email length affect deliverability? by Ryan Farley (Buttondown) Gmail clips emails at 102kb (~15,000 words of plain text, or ~5,000 words with formatting). Other providers have different limits or none at all. If your footer gets clipped, subscribers will mark you as spam. Buttondown,...
I referenced Valve’s announcement that it would delay the launch of the cube-shaped Steam Machine in my recent article, which touched on AI-driven computer memory price increases. Before going off my my tangent on memory price increase (something I note as a sometimes computer-builder), I saved an article to use for...
I am used to seeing road salt in New York City before and after it snows. A couple of years ago (definitely during the Eric Adams administration), I recall having noted remarkable amounts of road salt in the street near Atlantic Avenue in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. We are in the midst of what I would describe as a...
I just published a NLJ article in which I made a reference to the murderous camera in Sonic Adventure for Sega Dreamcast. I described the camera as homicidal in my draft. But that did not seem right. While Sonic Adventure features Dr. Robotnik as a villan and human beings in its peculiar overworld, the camera issues...
