So machine learning artificial intelligence has really been blowing up this past month, probably because of ChatGPT and all of the fascinating things that people are doing with it. I’ve been getting into it myself, using it to help write or improve my book descriptions, and also experimenting with it for writing stories. At this… Continue reading Why I’m not worried about AI replacing writers

Can this video possibly be more Georgian?
All it needs is a couple of old men playing backgammon on a folding table by the side of the road… although that’s something you see more of in the town, not the village. For goodness’ sakes, it even has a rooster crowing at the end!
The Babylon Bee Guide to Every Christian Denomination
Saw this video a couple of days ago, thought it was hilarious—especially the parts about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: “Mormons? Just kidding—we said Christian denominations!” And then later… “Unitarian Universalists? They’re atheists. We’ll even take the Mormons over these guys.” Although, to be fair… if Joseph Smith’s first vision was real,… Continue reading The Babylon Bee Guide to Every Christian Denomination
Are vaccine-related deaths decimating the SF field?
This is an extremely polarizing and contentious issue right now, so I’m going to try to make this post as fact-based and non-sensational as possible. Full disclosure: I never got the covid shot. My wife and I both had covid before the “vaccines” became available, and decided that our natural immunity provided enough protection for… Continue reading Are vaccine-related deaths decimating the SF field?
I suppose I should post something here
So it’s been more than a week since my last post. Don’t worry, I’m still around: it’s just that this blog is always the first ball to drop when I need to get things going. The post-holiday season was actually harder on us in a lot of ways than the holiday season itself, with insomnia,… Continue reading I suppose I should post something here
My Wild Predictions for 2023
I played this song to my two year-old daughter. Now she’s a Valkyrie.
…also, she grew a beard.
Quick update
So I was going to post the next blog post in the Grand Conspiracy series today, but this week between Christmas and New Year’s has been unusually hectic for us. Long story short, both of my families (extended in-laws and my own extended family) are in town, so I’ve been juggling family obligations between the… Continue reading Quick update
The Grand Conspiracy, Part 2: Creator vs. Creation
A couple of months ago, I listened to this really fascinating interview between Daily Wire host Michael Knowles and a former occultis/astrologer who gave all that up (including a profitable podcast on the subject) to convert to Christianity. It’s a super-long interview, so here’s the TL;DL: if you don’t worship God, you will ultimately end… Continue reading The Grand Conspiracy, Part 2: Creator vs. Creation
The Grand Conspiracy, Part 1: Malice or Incompetence?
Remember the time before the pandemic, when “conspiracy theory” was still a dirty word? It still is in some quarters, but for many of us the term is now closer to “spoiler warning.” After all, what are we supposed to believe: that Epstein hung himself with a bedsheet that couldn’t hold his weight, from a… Continue reading The Grand Conspiracy, Part 1: Malice or Incompetence?
