Pastors are often told that the solution to better AI output is a better prompt. I think that is only partly true. A better prompt can help. But if you have to re-explain your church, your sermon series, your theological boundaries, your congregation, your voice, and your approval standards every...

Last week I took some days off for a family event. It was a lovely trip. It’s commonplace to dread flying in the United States these days, and so it was terrific that it was uneventful. In addition to family time which I won’t share, Kelly and I got to tool around D.C. and Virginia a bit. Kelly...

A law student uncovers a conspiracy, putting herself and others in danger. Continuing the John Grisham streak, this ie one of the few movies I knew about, but never seen. Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts in their prime do a great job at filling the roles, but the whole ocnspiracy thingie feels...

I have upped my Mac game this week with the arrival of a new M4 Mac Mini from the Apple Refurbished Store in Australia. I picked up a 16/256 for USD600 including Sales Tax. It’s for my amateur radio operators and I’ve written up a post on it. SDR Play says iOS and Android apps are on their way...

HA HA HA YES! Double Dragon undefeated. I’ll take almost any movie where everyone knows Kung Fu but how wonderful it is to get one that is so well made. This flick is not interested in character development because it sticks to its lane of noble good guys verses unique and in a few...

A gorgeous canvas invites you in. I cannot speak for those who paint or sketch as I have no such skill. But for the written word there seems to be an enormous chasm between note apps focused on the aesthetics of writing and all the rest. I find it somewhat ironic, or perhaps even tragic, that the...

Perhaps it is time for some reflection. That (or similar jokes and puns) is now the easiest way to poke fun at Donald Trump's absolute incompetence. Trump subscribes to the Silicon Valley maxim "move fast and break things," which you will note does not include "and fix things" or anything...

About three years ago, archaeologist Lee Berger and a number of colleagues published a group of papers claiming that Homo naledi, one of our cousins who lived in southern Africa around 300,000 years ago, intentionally buried their dead, and created engravings on the walls of the Rising Star cave...

Here we go again. DC Comics has added a new name to what feels like an infinite number of comic-book villains. It almost seems as if there are as many villains as there are drug commercials on TV. Some of these fiends even have names that sound like missed opportunities for drug companies. ...

The new lazy comment’s “AI-generated”. On Hacker News, every thread about a programming language that isn’t Rust eventually gets a Rust comment. It doesn’t matter if the topic’s C, Zig, Go, PHP, Elixir, or a database. Somebody will find a way to turn the discussion into Rust. We now have the...

The Power Macintosh we will be looking at today is the highly desirable Power Macintosh 9600, released in 1997. The 9600 was a flagship PowerMac and this is reflected in the incredible expandability of this machine, which we will see in this article. I picked up my 9600 several years ago...

Time for one of the most gruesome fairy tale freak-outs ever produced during the precode 50's, via the February 1954 issue of The Thing #12. And this one comes from dependable 'ol Steve Ditko, no less, demonstrating, as usual, his dynamically deadly, dense sense of panel packin' punch. I mean it...
