I feel compelled to document errors on ads for gaming apps. Of course, I’m torn—it’s like wanting to tell a bot or scammer what they did wrong to point out their mistakes but at the same time not wanting them to fix things which would make it harder for us to figure out what’s aContinue reading “Typooooo!”

“You Are The Killer!”
This past weekend we had the premiere presentation of our interactive murder mystery, Whispers in a Dark Manor. I’d venture to say that it was overall a success. When talking with a local hotel to use their conference room for a performance, they expressed interested in doing a murder mystery dinner. We agreed, and IContinue reading ““You Are The Killer!””
I Like Your Ensemble!
These ads for mobile games (that appear while I play other mobile games) continue to march across my screen. Most of them are lame or unwatchable, a few are utterly fascinating and confounding (how do I get an AI GF to be an effective dominatrix? I’m not making an in-app purchase to find out!), andContinue reading “I Like Your Ensemble!”
I’m a To-Do Lister
Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. Sing the title to the tune of “I’m a Girl Watcher.” Yeah, I know, the rhythm’s a bit off, but that’s how my mind works. And I am a to-do lister. I’m very big on making lists, and I find tremendous satisfaction in crossing items off.Continue reading “I’m a To-Do Lister”
Before the Apple, There Was The Texas Seed
Write about your first computer. In 1987, I touched a Macintosh mouse for the first time, and was immediately hooked. I loved the graphical user interface and the ability to create with HyperCard and MacPaint (even as limited as that was.) It was a revelation to me, and I have used Macs ever since. ButContinue reading “Before the Apple, There Was The Texas Seed”
And….Action!
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? When I announced my retirement, people asked me what I would do in my free time. “Travel and creative projects!” I would say. There hasn’t been as much travel as I would have liked because, well, let’s face it, arranging a trip is often likeContinue reading “And….Action!”
Cirque du Soleil Neat, Please
I love the works of Rick Wakeman. I still have my original vinyl copies of Journey to the Center of the Earth and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. I would love to have seen him live—although I likely would not have enjoyed the King Arthur concertContinue reading “Cirque du Soleil Neat, Please”
Wasting Nostalgic
I know the usual cliche is “waxing nostalgic,” but I thought this variation would be amusing to my readers as I dive back into the world of AI. I hate to ever waste anything, so after my last blog entry (about nostalgia), where I mentioned considering using ChatGPT to create a post for me, IContinue reading “Wasting Nostalgic”
The Bigger Threat
I read this in the online version of The New York Times and felt the need to comment. Powerful tech leaders — including [Sam] Altman, Elon Musk and the Google co-founder Larry Page — were developing A.I. systems for years before the technology went mainstream. The men bickered over whether it would end up harmingContinue reading “The Bigger Threat”
You Have 10 Seconds to Come Read
What technology would you be better off without, why? I’m currently working on something I’m calling my Digital Tech Memoir, the story of how I began—and still use—computer technology in teaching and performance. My time with tech has long been experimental, and I played with some of the newest software toys when they first cameContinue reading “You Have 10 Seconds to Come Read”
