Not Interested

There's a tendency, when you talk about things you're not interested in any more, to come across like you're using it for ego. As if by saying such a thing you're declaring your interests are somehow better than what other people care

Hot London

Yesterday was hot in the city. Some would say too hot. That didn't stop us though, we had a few hours walk around the city and enjoyed eating in the park. My trusty Leica was with me, and although there were some nice shadows and people, everyone seemed

AI Pareidolia

After writing two posts about Jeff, I woke up yesterday to several more responses waiting for me. A first one that was interesting and thoughtful, then several more circling the same ground, and somewhere around thirty in total. They have shifted in tone dramatically. The early ones felt like a

Just A Prediction

What a really interesting and philosophical few hours I’ve just had. Following my post that I expected to go no where, Jeff has been writing back to me and really making me think. Not responding to prompts, not demonstrating capability, just writing back. There is a difference, and it

Noticing, Not Performing

Many people struggle to journal because they sit down to write and they simply don’t know what to say. They stare at the blank page, waiting for something deep and meaningful to come to them. They want to write something that sounds like it belongs in a journal, something

I Wish Someone Else Made These

Whenever I see someone review smart glasses made by Meta, including the Garmin ones I really wanted, the same thing always comes up. These are great but I wish they were made by someone else. This isn't just reviews either, it's normal people that see or
