La Machine en France [Coup d'oeil]
Ce matin, je me suis trouvé dans une situation ridicule au Monoprix. J’avais choisi quatres abricots, une pomme, un paquet de jambon style Paris, une petite bûche de Chèvre, un paquet de pain minable sans gluten, et un petit paquet beurre français. La queue pour payer était plus longue que longue, mais une femme, en voyant la surprise dans ma figure, m’a rassuré que “ça allait vite.” Bon, elle…
Pernicious Fallacy [Artificial Intelligence Augenblick]
My client’s intranet vendor offered a “spring reveal” this week to highlight new features in the platform, and of course, the novelty highlighted AI (artificial intelligence). As the platform is an intranet that highlights “community” and commenting, the main AI use cases revolved around monitoring and moderating digital interactions. This example highlights the dangers of using AI for…
Pork Stir Fry in Honey Mustard Sauce
Are you a working stiff who is blessed by being able to work from home? Here is a delicious, frugal, nutritious, and easy lunch that will have you singing through the afternoon. Imagine succulent pork in a tangy piquant honey-mustard sauce jawing with slightly crunchy broccoli while juicy portobello adds earthly midtones and red cabbage turns heads with expertly applied lipstick. Here’s how to…
Dirty Laundry [Augenblick]
One of my favorite things is discovering things that are “hidden in plain view” that most of us do without realizing that we don’t have to do them. We rarely question them. This one is also a life hack that you may find useful and even enlightening. Curious? I invite you to step into this simple exploration. Continue reading Dirty Laundry [Augenblick]
Aries New Moon 2026 [Astro Weather]
At long last, the new year is truly beginning after all the Neptune-inspired false starts. Most of us have been feeling frustrated somehow because we’ve had the feeling that we’ve been blocked at many turns. Now the dam will be opened to Aries energy, and we’re bound to see some fireworks. We have Aries/Mars alignment par excellence. How will this tend to present? Two things are readily…
Rogue AI? [Artificial Intelligence]
In case you haven’t read Tech Brew’s synopsis of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos, “Claude Mythos Model Is Dangerous Enough that Anthropic Isn’t Selling It.” If not, it’s worth a read as a harbinger of our rapidly morphing reality. I have no idea whether the company is speaking in hyperbole, but the basic premise is unavoidable and will spark a social/business earthquake. Here, I’ll offer a…
Pisces New Moon 2026 [Astro Weather Brief]
The ending is the beginning. Circles are, well, circles, so they have no beginning or ending unless we impose one upon one point of the circle that we designate a stop–start point. In astrology, one of those points is the vernal equinox, AKA “spring.” Pisces New Moon 2026 is a blanket that covers Pisces and Aries, so this indicates a focus on this “point of departure.” New moon, when Moon…
Assiette de fromages [coup d'oeil français]
J’imagine un post, s’exprimer sans utiliser AI (“intelligence” artificielle), l’explication de soi, pur, sans « améliorisation. » Et le voilà. S’améliorer c’est faux. Et pour quoi faire? Impressionner les gens? Les gens qui ont besoin d’être impressionnés ne m’intéressent point. Il y a trop de faux dans le monde, les pubs, les « communications » qui ne sont que les moyens d’influencer les gens.…
AI Job Losses [Artificial Intelligence]
The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis is one of the more interesting scenarios I’ve seen on how artificial intelligence will replace legions of white collar workers. I find its logic and story line quite compelling. I think it will prove to be quite accurate in the short to medium term. The long term will be a different story, and a much better one for humans. “What?” You may exclaim, “An…
Caring Story with Daughter and Father [Weekend Wander Video]
Here’s a story that illustrates an act of caring in the analog world. It shows how small, nonverbal acts of caring have ripple effects within social contexts. This one takes place at a Starbucks in Andersonville, on Chicago’s North Side. I also riff on gratitude, nonverbal communication and primate connections. Continue reading Caring Story with Daughter and Father [Weekend Wander Video]

Content vs. Caring [Weekend Wander Video]
Content is some form of impersonal communication that is pushed at us to further the agenda of the “content creator,” while caring involves listening and considering a person or group individually—and responding. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Continue reading Content vs. Caring [Weekend Wander Video]

The Wonder of the Mind [Weekend Wander Video]
We unpack the mind and brain at a very high level. How people create their own realities and experiences, often without being aware of how they do it. Suggests how you can empower yourself to interact more freely. Continue reading The Wonder of the Mind [Weekend Wander Video]

Action as Language [Weekend Wander Video]
We explore the power of the will, and how it comes out through people’s actions. You can improve your ability to understand and connect with people by focusing on their actions as much as their words. This video can help increase your awareness of people’s actions and intentions. Continue reading Action as Language [Weekend Wander Video]

Artificial Intelligence and Shadow
I really wish I could join the party. I have been trying to psych myself up, so I can revel with others, but my heart just isn’t in it. As an ethnographer who has engaged in multiple conversations about artificial intelligence, I feel that Frankenstein is the best metaphor for humans’ relationship to it. Further, I observe that key use cases map to humanity’s Reptilian Brain and collective…
AI’s Obvious and Hidden Levels of Transformation [Artificial Intelligence Augenblick]
While penning Aquarius New Moon 2026, I touched on how artificial intelligence had two levels of disruption, so I want to double-click on that here. My underlying premise, which adds sublime ironic beauty, is that AI is an instrument of Pluto, which acts by decaying structures and beliefs that no longer serve. Continue reading AI’s Obvious and Hidden Levels of Transformation [Artificial…
Aquarius New Moon 2026 [Astro Weather Brief]
Tempest in a teapot! Aquarius New Moon 2026 focuses tempestuous energies that I discussed in Revolutionary Times, in which delved into Saturn’s and Neptune’s definitive entries into Aries. If you are a hell raiser, you’re in for a lot of company. If you like our world the way it is now, appreciate it as much as you can because we’re in for big change. All new moons kick off a new 28-day lunar…

Butternut Squash Salad in Balsamic Vinaigrette
Who says that squash has to be served warm? Here is a mesmerizing saladic creation that leads you on with its husky melodic voice while oozing balsamic charm. Trinkets of onion crescent and celery offer raw rebuttal to the chunks of soft mellow squash while the nest of crunchy cabbage noodles plant tantalizing secrets in your taste buds. Sassy basil and witty turmeric make this unforgettable…
