Everyone talking about coding models fixates on the same number: how fast the thing generates code. This misses the point by a lot. The story isn't about how fast the model writes code I would have written anyway. It's that the model lets me do things that I might have done before but were...

…Now That’s What I Call Jamon Volume 1. I’m bored. I’m the chairman of the bored. So, with boredom deeply-rooted within my psyche, I decided to give myself something to do…by having a bit of a giggle and making a silly amateur radio-themed video. You can take a look, if you feel so compelled, by...

Like the title says. Another villainess show, but with the slight twist that it’s told from the perspective of the prince who’s fated to be with the heroine. It was adorable. They are all too precious. Storytelling – B – Well told. Voice – B – Certainly we’ve seen shows with the same premise,...

We’re never going to run out of isekai ideas, are we? I have to applaud the sheer creativity of the premise. They took the dumbest thing they could think of and they went all in. And it worked! It was an enjoyable, lighthearted show. It dragged a bit in the second season, there were possibly too...

Mismatched high school couples fall in love. The couples are cute, and I really liked the art style (felt more cartoonish than what seems to be in style now). I think the main problem might just be that I’m old. These high school love stories don’t really do it for me anymore. It was very...

Enemies to lovers, learning about different cultures, and just a touch trashy! It was enjoyable, if pretty predictable after the first episode. Decent sense of humor, and I did appreciate the trashiness. Very plausibly deniable. Enjoyed the visuals as well. Storytelling – C – Simple but...

The first flashback scene for Chapter 3. The title of this chapter is Together. Michelle is very guarded about her past. Of those early years. She only talks about what her life on Earth was like to the people she trusts. And those people are few and far between.

The enthralling quality mesmerizing is first attested in 1829, as well as its base form mesmerize. The figurative usage of mesmerizing as an adjective for something spellbinding or transfixing begins appearing in 1846. Today, we think of the verb mesmerizing as a synonym of hypnotizing. However,...

When is doing too little still doing too much? Executing nothing is a viable strategy. In some aspects of life the more you do, the worse the outcomes. In others, it’s the opposite. Let’s take a look at two contrasting examples, baseball and investing. I used to be a big baseball fan but I am...

Where do you look for the Abomination of Desolation. What form do you think it will take? Will it have a sign on it, or will a notification be issued? Or, perhaps, will you have passed it by and shook hands with it and perhaps danced with it along with your generations and saw it every day of your life. Perhaps when you see it, nothing will have changed, but you will see it because the scales have fallen off of your eyes.

I honestly hate Donny, even though I’ve never met him. Sometimes he appears in my dreams, not as a person but as a bloodshot streak of emotion. “My mother says hi, by the way.”
