Last Sunday, Elgielene and I spent some time with my brother. And he told a story about a trip he took to Alaska. And his eyes lit up when he mentioned the boat ride through the blue water of the “inside passage” en route to his destination. Because he saw all sorts of wildlife and marine life, including whales, all sorts of birds, and … The rest of the story…

Just saw pelican landing in the water yesterday. It reminded me of a short memory I shared several years ago. It went a little something like this: I remember my first ferry ride across Galveston Bay in Texas. Yes, it was a long time ago. My grandparents were visiting from Oklahoma. And my dad drove them and the rest of the family to see … The rest of the story…

And why waste your time trying to get understanding when the price of silver is trending upwards. C’mon. Let’s be logical about this. After all, I’m sure you’ve seen the … The rest of the story…

Today I recall how much I enjoyed watching a movie, on TV, about the life of Harry Houdini. He was portrayed by another famous Tony. Tony Curtis. And Mr. Houdini’s wife was portrayed by Mr. Curtis’s real life wife Janet Leigh. I remember how much I enjoyed Harry Houdini’s daring feats. Apparently, he could escape from just about any set of handcuffs, most any … The rest of the story…
Computing at the speed of light, but is it good? And is it right? Well, to jump on this topic, here’s a little information I read and saw in a video clip. It said: We’ve hit a wall with silicon chips. Electrons can only move so fast and that’s what limits how quickly today’s GPUs can train AI.

Do you desire a big paycheck? A snazzy car? A status symbol house? All of the above? If so, do you think you’ll ever get ’em? And even if you’re well on your way, do you think there’s an ironclad guarantee you’ll get ’em all? There’s nothing wrong with self improvement. And you certainly don’t need my approval. Or anyone else’s for that matter. … The rest of the story…
So, let’s talk about your vortex energy generator. Sounds fun, right? I recently discovered that a man named Rudolph Steiner said the heart is a seven-sided regular form that sits in an imaginary box in the chest. And in case you don’t know what a “seven-sided regular form” means, it’s a three-dimensional form, and the “regular” part means the surface areas are all identical. … The rest of the story…

I just read a very short, very cool article that started out with this: For the first time in human history, scientists witnessed the precise instant human development initiates. What they observed wasn’t biological randomness, it was orchestrated precision. Of course, the term orchestrated precision piqued my interest. And since I’m one of those right-wing extremists who says we should abolish all abortion, I … The rest of the story…
