I don’t wish a drought on any place, but… remember a few years ago when Lake Mead dried up exposing a bunch of bodies and prior crimes? That was a fun side effect of something horrible, if something horrible has to happen.

Bravo to the rockstar on the Farming Simulator team who every year is in that meeting like, “This year I was thinking of a tractor shot, sprawling farm and cloudy sky,” and the entire team is just in tears giving him/her/them a standing ovation. You are an inspiration of minimal effort to us all.

I work at the Eastmont mall in Oakland. A few years ago our building had a rat infestation big enough to hit local news. So this year I decided to dress up as an Eastmont rat, complete with an employee badge and all. Happy Halloween, everyone!

Ten years ago (almost to the day) I lost an aerial drone in the Arizona desert. The sting of the loss was amplified by the lost footage. I decided to use AI to imagine what that footage might look like. And, per the AI song included, there was a musical witness there the day I lost the drone. Enjoy.

I have the chorus of an old Ja Rule song stuck in my head. So no, it is NOT a good morning Well-Intentioned-Coworker.

I know our county is on a limited budget, but hear me out... we install sensors on all employee toilets and urinals, and if people walk away from either without flushing, a camera takes a picture of said person, and that photo gets placed on a Wall of Shame for at least one quarter. And…

Took some famous photos and paintings and ran them through ye ole AI machine to turn them in to videos.
I also like doing these to point out that AI isn't perfect. It took some creative liberties with many likenesses (among other errors).
Anyhow... happy Tuesday, everyone!

I mean… if I’m FORCED to say something nice about these people… I guess it’s that they give absolutely zero fucks about what people think of them and their small pee-pees. And I guess that’s somewhat commendable.

I’ve lived more years in California than Arizona, and I like California far better for MANY reasons. Somehow Arizona still feels like home. I took some pics from online from around the state and animated them with AI and set it to an AI created song.

For some reason the other day I was thinking about the stereotype of white people thinking they can handle spice at ethnic restaurants then failing horribly, and then that somehow jumped to wizards and potions.
Anyhow... this is how I spent my day off! It's not perfect by any means.

I just think that as a Music Factory, C&C was not exactly producing the amount of content I would associate with that sized facility. In the end maybe C&C Local Music Shoppe may have been a more apt moniker.

For some reason, the song Cotton-Eye Joe entered my headspace this morning. So, I asked ChatGPT to examine the lyrics and tell me more about this figure. Some of the highlights of that analysis include… (1 of 2)
