Although it can’t replace search engines, there is a case here for human curated search directories and blogrolls. Also a case for more search engines with their own index.
This morning the temperature is -3 degrees Fahrenheit (-19 C), and dropping. Windy too. I think I’ll just stay indoors, thankyouverymuch.
Perfect timing: my watch battery dies right when a snow/ice/wind/subzero cold storm moves in so I don’t want to drive around or even go out.
Just my opinion, but cars made today all look the same. Boring.
I think this is partly because cars are not being designed for customers, they are being designed for government regulations. That’s not all bad, but there is a difference.

“Our Enemies Will Vanish”, by Yaroslav Trofimov sounds like a good book. I just ordered it.
I’m Blockchaining AI with Multimedia Cat Pic NFT’s and razzle dazzle.
New Tears Eve supper will be a frozen pizza! I bought a fancier pizza than I usually get because it’s a holiday. That’s it. Can’t have too much fun on one night.

Random: If we could get corned beef and cabbage in microwaveable pouches, that would be cool.
Take a look at photos of living rooms from before the television era and you will see we arranged the living room furniture differently before TV.
I just ordered an air fryer. (Insert rationalizations here.) We’ll see how this goes and if I really end up using it.
It’s painful watching the slow death spiral of the social network formerly known as Twitter. It’s almost as if Musk is purposely trying to sabotage it. Does he get a tax write-off if it goes under?
Black Friday and Thanksgiving leftovers ,,, Pfft. These must not interfere with Frozen Pizza Friday which is part of the natural order of things
Mastodon just keeps getting better. It’s not the software, it’s about finding the right people and hashtags to follow.
I’m not looking forward to 2024 as an election year. It will be like crawling on broken glass. Every. Single. Day.
On AI Conspiracies and Disinformation
I’m betting that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be better at creating crazy, convoluted, conspiracy theories an...Today must be telemarketer day as I’m suddenly getting a lot of calls, some robo and some human. Both types are sales calls but I definitely categorize the robo calls as scams.
Anyone remember Girder and Panel sets? This let you build a city of International Style skyscrapers. Always wanted a set but never got one. #NewUrbanists need not apply.
