Alligators in my Pond
A while back (a LONG while) my boss gave me my annual review. It went well and I got a small raise - like a 5% raise, which amounted to a laughable increase in my gross paycheck. I think it even put me into a higher tax bracket, so my net pay was even less. But I was happy and ap…

AI Training Data
It's frustrating to read how AI tools are SURPRISINGLY going off the rails and spewing horrible shit, especially when their core training material are the things that humans write, say and do. They learn if from us. Ever meet – ( <-- All hyphens in this post are artisanal, organi…

Understanding the Problem
Ah the joy of solving problems. Not puzzles, mind you, problems. Puzzles are a different animal. They are created for entertainment, and have a solution. Puzzles usually rely on a set of parameters that a participant needs to understand in order to find that solution, and often t…

First day of 2025
Well, this is it. This is what we’ve been waiting for it. All of human history has come to this point. It’s 2025. Sure, it is another arbitrary day to start everything all over again. But this way we make something new, fresh, exciting! I started this post over a month ago, with…

Road Trip: August 2024

One show, two show, all the shows go go go
How do you go to so many shows? I get asked that not infrequently. And in some ways, i get it. Most people have an artist or two that they want to see, they get tickets, and they go. They know what they are going for, they pay for it, and they go for a special night. Sure there a…

To belong
Maybe we are hard wired to want to belong. To be in a group. I imagine the comfort early humans would feel when being accepted into a group of others, no longer terrified and alone, wandering as prey from another. There must have been a mental schism in the evolving primates who…

My Perspective
My perspective is how I see the world. Not everyone will agree with me. I expect that. If everyone was just like me, that would be a dull boring world. No, I take that back. I don't think it would be a dull boring world. I think it would be an awesome world and we would all wear…

When I get mad
I don't get mad a lot. It rarely solves anything, and makes me feel miserable while the cause of my anger doesn't seem to be impacted in the least. That doesn't seem fair. I try to solve and/or eliminate things that push me toward being mad, which seems to be a better channel for…

I didn't expect...
There are times I feel we delude ourselves into believing things that we know aren't true. There are some things that are so common that it's really foolish to set false expectations. Common sense may not be so common. 'Trust and verify', and 'everything changes' are phrases that…

Not even

End of Twenty-shiteen Wrap-up
Ah, 2016. You were a disjointed mouthful of fruit juice joy and bile-scented cottage cheese heart clots. Your only saving grace is the train-wreck maelstrom that 2017 is shaping up to be. I’ll always remember you. But despite the challenges of this past year, I have much to be th…

A New Uncanny Valley?
As VR and MR enter into the mainstream consciousness, people are starting to get familiar (or at least using) with terms that have been common in the 3D, VR, and animation fields for many years. In one way this is great to see. Language is the key to communication, and once we ha…

Virtual Reality & Mixed Reality: We just don't know

New Opportunities for Oculus and VR
I love games. Playing games, making games, teaching other people how to make games, making games out of the chores and challenges that invade my daily life. A full universe of games. Now with a hearty wave of VR tech and possibilities hitting the market, 2015-16 will certainly be…

Oculus Rift - Pollen Preview

Pollen is nothing to sneeze at

Blog posts not posting to LinkedIn properly
