Good advice to artists of all kinds, as quoted in this article on “Les Archives de la Planète” in 77 Stunning Color Photos Of The World’s Cultures A Century Ago:
“I ask only one thing of you,” Kahn said… “It is that you keep your eyes wide open.”

On Time and Trees
Posted in Holidays, tagged #365Ways, #365Ways2025, New Year, perspective, Thoughts, time on January 1, 2025| Leave a Comment »
On the first day of this new year, a short poem on the relative nature of time. And nature.
Do we seem as slow
To hummingbirds on the wing
As trees do to us?
Wishing you a happy new year.

What AI Needs

A thought: One thing AI really needs is a sense of disgust. So many of the images I see have some element that triggers at least a little body horror, at least for me.
One downside to not having a body, I suppose.

“What do you say, Pooh?”
Pooh opened his eyes with a jerk and said, “Extremely.”
“Extremely what?” asked Rabbit.
“What you were saying,” said Pooh. “Undoubtably.”

Should Strikes Again

You know when you need a bit of new tech and you spend ages researching what you want and reading all the fine print to ensure that everything looks good before finally hitting the Buy button, only to have it arrive and (fill in the blank).
Maybe the module doesn’t sync with the old system, even though it absolutely should. Maybe the form factor was altered in non-obvious ways that keep the new thing from matching the old thing. Maybe the cable that looks perfect mysteriously does not work.
A lot of things can go wrong, and it has inspired a new phrase: Should strikes again.
It should fit. It should match. It should connect.
It should work, dammit, but it just doesn’t.
Does it make me feel better to know that this type of problem is super common?
No. And yes.
A little:)
So the next time your best-laid plans backfire, remember, it’s not you. It’s just life’s little shoulds, striking again.

A fun short story from Andrew Jensen in Stupefying Stories:
The display of Screwdrivers I was admiring wasn’t the problem. The talking alien was.
