The Voice of Maiku reads "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell

As an act of showing my contempt for the 2017 inauguration, I read the entirety of George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and uploaded it to my alt YouTube channel. So if you want to hear my annoying voice for over 11 hours, here you go.

After seeing @councilofgeeks.bsky.social post about AI claiming her channel to be dead (it isn't), I decided to check out an AI summary of myself...
I want to clarify I am not, never have been and never will be, a fan of Hatsune Miku. I would never knowingly play a game that features Hatsune Miku.

I really can't stand these AI videos of Mister Rogers popping up in my feed. Seeing him giving Tupac Shakur advice on rapping and making a "deez nutz" joke at Richard Pryor makes my skin crawl.
Mister Rogers was a decent, caring human being. Stop using his image to make crass videos.

I finally managed to do something I've been wanting to since I was a little kid. I've never had the time or funds to do this until now, so I can finally say after all this time...
I watched Hayley Mills' "The Parent Trap" in its entirety.

Please take a look at Vera's video essay on self-censorship on YouTube. I think the points she makes are valid.
This form of self-censorship is how "newspeak" begins.

One of my favorite Yes albums is 1980's "Drama", in which the lead singer and keyboardist both split, so the band got Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes of The Buggles ("Video Killed The Radio Star") to sub in.
Way better than it has any right to be.

I know I should be grateful that my stuff is still being used in #talkhaus projects, but it does bother me (more than it should, I admit) when my contributions are incorrectly titled. It's been ten years, peeps. That contraction has never been part of the title.

Spent Mother's Day with my in-laws watching the Michael Larson episodes of "Press Your Luck". It was interesting to see my FIL and SIL debate on whether or not he was cheating.
(He wasn't. He just memorized the patterns.)

He lived a long life, worked into his late 80s, is inarguably the basis of every single game show host caricature you have ever seen on cartoons, sitcoms, and commercials, was friends with Elvis Presley, and in his later years became the mascot of a fun YouTube channel. Not a bad little career. RIP
Wink Martindale, the king of the television game show who hosted "Tic-Tac-Dough," "Gambit" and "High Rollers," died Tuesday. He was 91.
