Artificial music is the last place you should look to find a new song. And AI companies that claim to help you “create” your “own sound” tell you right up front they don’t have new music. Here’s an example: This company says their AI is “trained on a catalog of 8 million music tracks and harnesses our database of 170,000 audio sounds to create … The rest of the story…

Here’s what I wish, today. And it might sound a little upside down from my usual upbeat emphasis on the power of God’s love. But it’s really not. And I think you’ll see that’s true as you read on. I wish the people who love God were the ones with all the great successes in life. And I wish the people who thumb their … The rest of the story…
Are you thankful Thursday is finally here? If you’re like most people, your answer would be something like, “Yeah. No.” Because Thursday doesn’t stand out for most people. He’s one of the T twins, Tuesday and Thursday, who sort of get lost in the mix. I suppose it could be worse for Thursday. At least he isn’t hated like Monday. But he also doesn’t … The rest of the story…
It’s a mighty mean world OUT there. But that doesn’t mean it has to be the same way IN there. And when I say “IN there,” I mean inside your heart. You have a great brain, designed by God, that you can choose to use or choose not to and lose. So, you can let Love win the day, every day. Or you can … The rest of the story…
Gonna talk about truth and mercy right now. So, get ready to take some mental notes. Yeah, put away those silly tablets and other writing accoutrement. Because I don’t want your brain distracted by an urgent need to jot notes. The value of truth and mercy is too important to miss. So, before I go any further, I know your brain is already distracted … The rest of the story…
Just for grins, here at the Funderbungalow, we watched the sequel to a shark movie. No, not Jaws 3D. This one was Meg 2. It came out last year, and it’s the sequel to The Meg. And the reason we enjoyed those movies is because of how totally believable the whole storyline is. And that’s probably because of the star power acting of The … The rest of the story…
And should you trust your gut? Search the internet and you’ll find plenty of books and articles about the power of intuition. Some say it’s real. Some say it isn’t. Others say it’s psychological. And still others say the research is up for grabs. But one thing’s for sure. The power of intuition isn’t in your actual gut. I’m sure you know the gut … The rest of the story…
I wield my superpower from a secret desk, behind a sonic curtain, high above the world, in my Blueberry Tower. And I focus this intense power on little minds of mush. So… Hide your kids. Or at least cover their ears. Unless you’re willing to let them be controlled by my superpower. Because I can activate their different brain lobes all at the same … The rest of the story…
I’m sharing an account of what happened on D Day back in 1944. And when you get to the end of that part, be sure to check out a comparison story. The sunrise on June 6, 1944 (D Day) brought with it wave after wave of landing vessels. And they carried more than 150,000 American, British, Canadian, and French ground troops. They were the … The rest of the story…
My DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) includes some awesome tools to enhance music clarity. And there’s a wide variety of software to help audio producers and songwriters make their music sound as clear as possible. But the music clarity I see in my mind’s eye can’t be achieved. At least not with gear anybody has here on Earth. Because the music clarity I’m talking about … The rest of the story…
It’s the second day of the week in the first week of the sixth month of the 2024th year of our Lord. Now, THERE’S an eyeful, earful, and mouthful. But the point is, it’s Tuesday. So, I’ll tell you a little Norse story about this second day of the week. Once upon a time, there was a huge wolf named Fenrir. And it was … The rest of the story…
Why, in the name of godzilla, would you ever want to identify with a lower creature? Why would you ever, ever, ever want, or claim to have, a lizard brain? And how would that ever help you tune in to your limbic arc? Or help you maintain balance in your emotional vectoring? Not to mention (but I will) your energetic posture. No reptilian brain … The rest of the story…
The longest bridge in the world spans over 100 miles. Can you imagine driving that far, and it’s all on one bridge. Well, that’s all I’ll do. Because I’m never gonna drive on any bridge that long. Much less this particular one. Because the longest bridge in the world is in China. And I have no desire to visit China just so I can … The rest of the story…
This is something good to share with the kiddos. I talked about this over 10 years ago. But since this kind of nerve health is an ongoing issue, it’s just as relevant as ever. And here’s what I mean by “this kind of nerve health.” Have you ever heard someone say “you got a lotta nerve?” Usually they don’t mean that in a good … The rest of the story…
“The State of Colorado Will Compensate Local Residents To Go Solar as Part of a Statewide Program (RPS).” That was the headline to a short advertorial I recently read online. And I have a long history with Colorado, starting at birth, so it piqued my curiosity, of course. But when “they” say “Go Solar,” it’s not a suggestion. No, they’re not looking to get … The rest of the story…
Rain started off our Tuesday morning weather, today. And it cooled things off a bit. But I like cooler weather because I feel more like moving around. But one thing’s for sure. The weather doesn’t much care if I like it or not. It’s gonna be what it’s gonna be. So, it really wouldn’t do any good to complain about it anyway. Right? And … The rest of the story…
Well, it’s the last Monday of the month of May in 2024. And that, of course, means it’s Memorial Day. The day Americans take time to remember fallen and injured men and women who served our country in the military. Here’s some history behind this last Monday of the month. I read this in an article this morning: “Americans began to recognize Memorial Day … The rest of the story…
When I was a kid, way back before gigantic TV screens (and even remote controls), the Wizard of Oz movie came on once a year. I don’t know exactly what my parents thought about the movie. But the kids sure got a kick out of it. But who knew the Wizard of Oz had so many double meanings? I certainly didn’t. Plus, I just … The rest of the story…
When you’re young, still in school, and ready to go barefoot, those summer days suit your fancy. You start to picture yourself in a sparkling, clear pool with your friends. Or maybe you see yourself walking down white, sandy beaches. But it seems like those days take forever to arrive. And you have to go barefoot inside while you wait. You do your best … The rest of the story…
Cow secretions and bee vomit. Yum, yum. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be goin’ back for seconds. Oh yeah! But first, here’s my desire as I share a little something with you today: Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As raindrops on the tender herb, And as showers on the grass. I can’t (and don’t) … The rest of the story…
