I’ve always wanted to write and illustrate a graphic novel. But that would be a lot of work. Too much for someone as uninspired and unartistic as yours truly. So I figured why not give one of the AI machines … Continue reading Rainy Season, AI-Imagined
Well, maybe I’m not thinking so much about converting one of my books into an NFT — that just seems too futile and heartbreaking an endeavor — but I am still thinking about and trying to understand this whole nutty … Continue reading Still kinda thinking about converting one of my books into a GIF and selling it as an NFT…
Or something like that. For all you computer nerds out there, this is an excellent read from Wired on the making, undoing, and remaking of a hacker. Tried to highlight some of the spooky goings on of the Dark Web in my last book The Good Kill. That stuff fascinates me in an horrifying, schadenfreude kind of way… Hutchins remembers mentally racing through every possible illegal thing he’d done that might have interested Customs. Surely, he thought, it couldn’t be the thing, that years-old, unmentionable crime… #alonetogetherwithmycommodore64 Continue reading And the geeks shall inherit the earth…
You know, I’ve tried and I’ve tried…

I have tried and I have tried to maintain a loving relationship with Goodreads.
I’ve done everything it’s asked me to do.

I only got through the fourth episode before running out of time.
Consequently, I can’t provide anything much in the way of a review. But I can provide a bit of feedback that might mean something about its watchability…
Which is… I kept falling asleep while watching it.
Now, full disclosure, I’ve taken some of my best naps during what turned out to be some of my favorite shows so my inability to stay awake while watching Westworld in and of itself doesn’t mean that much.
