    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Oh, I sing their stuff, all right. Also Geoff Tate. Ian Gillan, Jay Buchanan, Rob Halford, Chino Moreno and others. I used to be able to easily hit that high note in A-Ha’s “Take On Me” in my 20s. I can still hit it at 58…IF my allergies aren’t acting up. But I’ve never felt the urge to...

    Why do you play games other than D&D?

    One thing I learned getting an MBA was that the #1 predictor of success in a market was being first in the market. Another thing I learned getting an MBA was that the company that company or product that’s the most successful in a given market often has its name become a generic term for all...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Someone should put up a convenience store on one side that specializes in sno-balls and jerky.

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Well, got in the car and drove to our service…unWhammed! Turned on the car, got Motley Crüe’s “Doctor Feelgood”, followed by commercials. Got all green lights, cutting travel time in half. The station was still in commercial break when I turned off the car after parking.😁

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    In other, related news, tests of AI show them not obeying orders to stop in various ways, for different reasons. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/ais-big-red-button-doesnt-110021493.html Killswitches are a vital part of most technologies. Undependable ones are virtually useless, and...

    Unusual Sandwiches

    In one of those obvious/not obvious “hacks”, I was making sandwiches for Mom’s & my dinners tonight, and realized that I didn’t have any sliced pickles. And all I had in the pantry were spears and whole pickles. But instead of getting our a board & knife to slice some up, I instead reached for...

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    “I’m a FIDDLER! With an “F”!” Seriously though, I just the other day saw a guy who was talking about doing a search for Kon Knueppel, a NBA rookie. The AI assistant provided all kinds of info on the player, among which was the note that he was African-American. (He’s a white guy from Wisconsin.)

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Nope! Songs & service. Well…there’s probably a nativity display somewhere on the grounds. They’ve had live ones the past, but I don’t think that’s happening this year. Not really. I’m gifted with a4.5 octave range and good sustain, and I know how to use it. On top of that, Mom was a music...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I liked both, but one thing Borders had over B&N was that they sometimes hosted small concerts. I saw California Guitar Trio, Tony Geballe, and Cerro Negro each performing at different locations of Borders back in the day. CGT were supporting their Pathways album, using their brand-new Somogyi...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    We’re having 3 Christmas Eve vigil services (2 English, 1 Spanish), caroling starting at 11:30PM, and 4 services on Christmas Day (including the midnight mass). Last Christmas* the 4PM Christmas vigil mass (for the families with little kids) had 4k attendees. Funny thing- our main sanctuary is...
