Today was my first day proper using a Macbook. It is a weird experience. Computers have changed a lot in the past 25 years, but a lot of things have stayed the same. The keyboard has stayed the same. The way you click a mouse has stayed the same. The Quit, Minimize, and Maximise buttons…

It was Father’s Day. It was a brilliant day. Ky and O really made me feel a million bucks today. It started with the gift that every parent crazes, a sleep in! After a few nights out on the road, being able to lie in bed for an extra hour, before O brought me my…

On Friday, I went to the Turkey v Paraguay World Cup game. It was a wonderful experience. For all the controversy leading up to the tournament, the USA did a great job. The crowd was passionate, but respectful. The Paraguayans were in exuberant ecstasy as they not only were able to score (in the second…

My CEO, who was equal parts fascinated and dismayed by my loud, laggy, laptop, bought me a MacBook today. He didn’t have to, I didn’t ask him. But I am glad I have it. Going from a Windows PC, which is what I have been using my whole life, to a Mac, feels slightly daunting.…

So, after 100 days, the Iranian War is over. Thank god. This event was the biggest debacle of Trump’s presidency, round 1 and 2, and that includes Covid. Sure, Iran has had a lot of its navy, leadership, and missile supplies destroyed. But even without ships, without its generals, without supplies, it still had a…

They’re doing a two-for-one multivitamin deal down at the local supermarket. Bargain!

I had a very important presentation at work this afternoon. After the C-Suite, including the CEO, were there to hear my thoughts on DMUDU, aka Decision Making Under Deep Uncertainty. It’s a field of study that I’m trying to get my head around, with marginal luck. It’s a discipline that tries to answer questions regarding…

Ky, Occi, and I went to a rave today. No, really. Lenny Pearce is an Australian DJ who remixes classic children’s songs, like Five Little Duckies, Wheels on the Bus, and Old Macdonald into hard hitting techno bangers. Naturally, we had to go when he came to Denver. It wasn’t your usual rave. The average…

The BIG one got dropped this week. Fable 5, the safeguarded AI model based on Mythos, was released on Tuesday. For those unfamiliar with the saga, Mythos is an LLM so powerful at coding that it was able to breach many cybersecurity protections. This didn’t mean that your local bank or the Pentagon could be…
