Only once have I ever experienced a moment of despair. In my optimism, I hope that most people never have even one, but I may be misguided about that. Mine occurred during the healing process from my retinal detachment. I had avoided opening my eye since the surgery, and for the most part from lookingContinue reading “A Glimpse of Despair, Glimpses of Enlightenment”

Surreal Doodle
I’ve been in many boring meetings in my time as a faculty member, and before that I spent much time in occasionally boring classes. Somewhere I developed a doodle that I find to be a lot of fun, and hopefully you’ll find it interesting. It’s the graphic version of the Surrealist’s automatic writing exercise. There,Continue reading “Surreal Doodle”
Mission and Passion
What is your mission? In a bad poem, the two words of the title of this post might be thought to rhyme. While I would not try to force that onto any of my verse, I do think the two terms go hand in hand. I’ve often mentioned how, when meeting students at college campusContinue reading “Mission and Passion”

And then realized that that’s theContinue reading “Medium Awesome”

Sorry, that’s a remnant from my less socially aware childhood. It should be Native American chief,Continue reading “I Profess!”

My blog post yesterday was a metaphor/fable entitled “The Hamster and the Hummingbird.” When I finished pasting it from Notes where I had composed it, I thought, “Hey, wouldn’t it be great to have an AI-generated graphic to illustrate it?” It would.Continue reading “Commentary on AI Art”
The Future!
What are you most excited about for the future? Are people still excited about the prospect of flying cars? I always worried about them because if you crashed in the air, then you’d fall to the ground and crash again. That seems like a bad thing to me. Also, maybe we should be more worriedContinue reading “The Future!”
