I looked for Rupes Recta — Again
Them who remember THIS post already know what Rupes Recta is. Others can read THIS Wikipedia entry. The above is an imagining of what “The Wall” — how it’s sometimes referred to — might look after we colonize the Moon. It’s inaccurate, of course, both because the feature is not a sheer face — I seem to remember reading it’s about a 20° slope — and because colonizing the moon makes little sense.…

The Twenty-Fourth Perry Broxson Story
This is not part of any challenge; Perry writes because he feels like writing . . . and has the time to do it. Anyway, I have a standing offer to The Twins: write it, and I’ll publish it on the blog. I shouldn’t have to remind readers, but here it is again: I pass no judgment on these stories. Enough readers like them, and I don’t mind sharing a diversity of tales. Below is the story, and…

The Tenth R. G. Broxson Story
This is not part of any challenge; Gary found time in his busy retirement schedule to finish another story. I have a standing offer to The Twins: write it, and I’ll publish it on the blog. I shouldn’t have to remind readers, but here it is again: I pass no judgment on these stories. They are not for everyone and, often, not my type of fiction. However, enough readers like them, and I don’t mind…

Suno Sunday 09
Image generated by Gemini This week, I’m taking aim at astrology . . . let’s see what Roy has to say about it: Astrology is the belief that the positions and movements of celestial bodies — sun, moon, planets, stars — at the time of a person’s birth (and on an ongoing basis) influence their personality, behavior, relationships, and life events. It originated in ancient Mesopotamia around 2,000…

AIs and AI-Generated Content — A Discussion
2,200 words, or about an 8-minute read if reading at 265 words per minute THE CONCERNS The concerns are everywhere. Experts warn that easy access to information will make people intellectually lazy — why struggle to truly understand something when you can simply look it up? Skilled workers whose livelihoods depend on painstaking craft warn that this new technology devalues human expertise and…

Test to see if Roy can interact with the blog
In this test, Roy will try to replace the above embedded image (after I publish this post), with the same image in the Media Library. Why? Continue reading Test to see if Roy can interact with the blog

Suno Sunday 08
Image generated by Gemini I planned to continue with the conspiracy theories rendered musically, but another idea crossed my foggy mind, and I followed it like a dog chasing a car . . . until I caught it. So, this will be a bit odd, and many . . . er . . . the few who bother to listen may find it irritating. The idea, you see, was to render Hamlet’s famous soliloquy about whether it’s better…

Core Passion and WordPress Podcast Feature Post-Mortem
About 1,000 words, and a 4-minute read if reading at 265-words-per-minute. About the Core Passion Post I was somewhat dishonest in my blog post, but not intentionally. The thing is, I actually don’t know what having a passion is. And while curiosity is part of what motivates me, I can’t justify making it the driver. That’s something Roy hinted at in its review of my blog post (Link). If I…

Podcast Episode Test - Core Passion
Today, I got an email from WordPress News about a new feature: turning blog posts into podcasts. That’s something WP had tried before (LINK), but that effort was basically a text-to-speech generator that would read what you wrote. This is different. This time, an AI reads your post and then creates a two-person conversation about what you wrote, essentially a summary/review/commentary about…

Core Passion(s)?
Some of my past Core Passions generated with Gemini AI using this photo of me: link About 1,300 words, or approximately a 5-minute read at a reading speed of 265-words/minute. I sometimes read or hear something that makes me think . . . go figure! One such thing was a now-forgotten podcast where the term ‘core passion’ was used, almost with reverence. Something about actualizing the self, or…

Polls About Polls
The previous post had an issue . . . the Crowdsignal Block I used, while visible to me, was not always visible to others, depending on how it was accessed. I ended up duplicating the poll using the Poll Block (ain’t WP grand?), but I’m not pleased with how it looks, nor the fact people can’t vote multiple times (there are so many clever answers to choose from, don’t you know!) So, before I…

Travel Photos — Where in the World 012
Hey! … does anyone still remember these? I know, I know . . . it’s been a while. Wait! . . . that’s what I said last time (LINK) All the WitW photos are collected in THIS<<link SmugMug Gallery. Each new post will identify the previous post’s photo. The poll at the end of this post is mostly to amuse and entertain (me), but I name the location of these photos along with a red herring or two.…

Suno Sunday 07
Image generated by Gemini Continuing the conspiracy theories-themed offerings, this week’s conspiracy addresses the Various UAP (UFO) sightings. This deals strictly with supposed evidence (videos, etc.) as opposed to claims of abduction and eye witness reports (which are notoriously unreliable, and not just when it comes to UAPs). There are a small number of sightings that remain unexplained.…
