@rasterweb WTF is the thought process on branding. Anyone who knows associates it with music, and anyone that doesn’t has no idea what it is. If someone actually paid for the name they’re a moron. And fuck AI.
So today I've got some pain in my left foot (started two days ago) my elbow is acting up (dislocated it twice 14 years ago) and my neck pain is back (did PT for it 5 months ago) also, new today is shortness of breath and abdominal pain. I will also add exhaustion where I think I could fall asleep in minutes if I lied down.
@rasterweb I’ve got something going on with my elbow. Seem to have it under control. My neck is also messed up. I have a massage gun that greatly helps with that. Thinking of going for sports massage and stretching. I will say watch those other issues closely. Especially shortness of breath, I’ve seen too many heart attacks with people our age recently.
@rasterweb I road the Fox River trail by my house today. It runs through the wetlands. One place one the trail had a foot of water so I got wet feet. That kind of sucked. 12.4 miles. Would have been longer but wanted to avoid the water.
Had an idea to take an old song I wrote and meld it with an new one I am working on. It worked! Took the guitar part and made it the bass line. Once it got the tempo correct it was all good. #MakingMusic#HomeRecording#LogicPro#Guitar#Bass
@rasterweb that’s a great question. The guitar/bass part is a little difficult so I need to practice a bit. Some guitar stuff and vocals to write. I’ve got time carved to do it. A couple weeks maybe?Planning on putting it up somewhere once finished.
I felt pretty good this morning so got the bike out for a ride and managed to get 5 miles in under 30 minutes, which has been a goal for a while! Finally got my average speed over 10mph. Whew!
For the past few days I’ve just felt exhausted every morning… besides my bike ride and short walk over the weekend I haven’t had any energy to got out and do anything. I did yard work Sunday and that exhausted me. Maybe I should see my doctor…
@rasterweb just got back to working out, bike ride tomorrow. Had a headache for a few days , realized it was my neck and shoulder muscles. I’ve been treating that with the massage gun and some icy hot, success.
@rasterweb How many search bars already use AI but just call it out for marketing? My guess is many, and if you want to call it Machine Learning go ahead. Apple has had ML for years.
Someone told me that Chat-GPT saved them hours of work...
My response: If Chat-GPT is saving you hours, are you now able to work less hours and instead spend that time doing other things? That should be the primary goal of AI... Give humans more time to do as they please, not just cram even more work into the same amount of hours.
One time I asked a guy working in the produce section of a supermarket what his favorite apples were, and he said 'Pink Lady'. After buying some that day, I have to admit he was right. They're the best damn apples I've ever tasted and I've been hooked ever since 🍎
Every time I am at the grocery store or Target, I find shopping carts in disarray. I mutter to myself every time “what the hell is wrong with people” as I put away the stray or disorganized carts. #MoralCharacter
As I work today I'm listening to the soundtrack from the 1982 Conan the Barbarian film that was composed by Basil Poledouris. Things are feeling fairly barbaric at the moment here in the Arizona desert
I am begging people to stop blogging with substack (email bookclubs aside).
every time I click a link it bothers me TWICE to sign in. TWO different pop-ups. I am not accessing these illicitly (well maybe #Substack thinks so) these are not subscriber only articles. I just want to read the article you are sharing that proves your point.
Get a blog (not wordpress though) with an RSS feed. Or at least use a less obnoxious service. No, medium is NOT less obnoxious.
I beg you.
@lapis Suggestions of what to use instead of what not to use? I’m on self hosted Wordpress and have been for a long time. What’s my alternative that’s as easy to set up and use?
