AI is not intelligent nor is it reliable. It’s not as reliable as Lassie. When Timmy fell down a well you knew Lassie would get help. With AI, if Timmy falls down a well, Timmy is most probably gonna die in that well.
new style, same simply.
It’s amazing how a simple change in font can change the feel of a site. I just completed moving to iA Writer Mono for the blog - hope you like it.
Thanks to Cassidy Williams for the inspiration!
an old thought and the new web
It’s early September, 2001 and there’s something new on the web - pop-under ads.
I’m sorry but when I hear Yahoo! or GeoCities, especially in the same sentence, my first thought is pop-under ads. They made me so angry back then, I created an initiative to take a stand against them.
The thing about the web is you can stake out a little place of your own - a place for expressing yourself (whatever that means to you) - a place you can call home - a place from which you might say your piece.
NeoCities is not ‘Yahoo! GeoCities’… it’s much better, thank you!

more than the doctor ordered
The meds I do every morning to manage my little collection of physical ailments don’t always do it for me. Sometimes, the pain goes far beyond what a few Tylenol (along with those other meds) can resolve. When I wake up feeling like total shit, I need something more powerful. Well, I tried something this morning after my usual meds and motherfucker, it worked!
Three songs in their entirety, one after the other was the magic formula I discovered this morning. Three songs. And I’m good now.
I started with Clive Murray’s Return to Gamut Street...
sample:
Clive’s guitar playing reminds me a bit of David Gilmour, which led me to my second musical med, Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb....
sample:
Then the third musical med smoothed it all out - Rich Woman by Robert Plant and Allison Krause with T-Bone Burnett on the guitar.
sample:
In the words of Mr. James Brown, I feel good!
Thanks to the miracles of modern musical medicine.
