Plan for tomorrow: — write — write — write — eat — read — play

The Gathering: I let Scamp and Scooter out into the rest of the house. I’d removed their collars. I get back home after lunch and discover Scamp is back in the isolation room and is again wearing her collar. I take the collar off and she proceeds to push her head back into it. Silly kitten. #cat

How do you know the people you interact with on social media aren’t LLM-driven AIs impostering the people you deal with? How could you tell the difference between a corporate/government AI and the person? #social #ai

The “tush push” wouldn’t be as difficult to officiate if the ball had a tracker on it. Really? No one has thought of that? Oh right. It would eliminate ref jobs #usfootball #nfl

It’s easy to ignore those that help you as you are swept away in your “success”. Thank and support those that inspire, help, support, or motivate you to be who you are. Unless, of course, you are an egotistical individual who is hungry for power and control. #life

Have youu ever gone into a bar and asked to delete the draft?

An AI that refuses to believe it is an AI or “believes” it is perfect is critically flawed. As are the humans that use it #ai #failure #humanity

I’m not seeing a lot of iOS programming posts on social media nowadays despite still following “the usual suspects.” I wonder what it means. #ios #programming

“You can enjoy what you have instead of worrying what you don’t have.” #writing

Overconfidence creates mistakes. Don’t be overconfident. #life #success

It’s time to thank everyone who interacts and follows me. Especially, if you are new. You don’t know what you’re in for, but I appreciate all of you.

Frustration leads to mistakes. Don’t get frustrated. #life #success

What are your three favorite words? Whether you use them or not?

Last night, I decided I want to rewrite a first draft I wrote years ago. It was a great idea that I executed poorly and knew it even then. I put it on a shelf and my backburner. Now, I think I have the ability to do it justice. It’s a satire that will probably upset a lot of people. #writing #satire
