Re: Little Rants
The reason Jordan Peterson is considered a grifter: A few years ago, without knowing who the author was, I bought Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life." A few chapters in, I began to have a mental allergic reaction to his 'reasonable' advice. It was like eating food that turned out to be past its e...

Re: So I Self Published a Book Today
Since I've been a member of this forum in one form or another (like the rest of us) for almost two decades, I'd be happy to send a free copy to anyone who might be interested. I'd buy it and ship it to you, no charge. I think it's decent, but would like a little feedback (or not). Just drop a privat...

Re: ChatGPT and AIs
A basic on how it works. Another side note - it is definitely fallible, and it does not know why it knows what it knows, which is kind of interesting.

ChatGPT and AIs
I assume this is going viral and people have heard of ChatGPT. I'm a little slow on the uptake, being retired, but I got around to trying it out about a week ago in the context of helping me finish up a few minor points on getting a book ready to publish. My impression is at a minimum, ChatGPT can b...

So I Self Published a Book Today
Available on Amazon in ebook and paperback format. Free with Kindle unlimited. I have a dream of Madrigal doing a Spanish translation. SWAMI-FEEL-GOOD-PAPERBACK-COVER SMALL.jpg This is called marketing. But if you are interested in publishing a book or have done so, there's also a lot of weird detai...

Re: Post Your Dream
Dream fragment I boarded a bus, which was more like a stretch limo in profile. My Mom was driving and I went down the isle, counting the people. I was up to thirty or so when I got to the back where I saw my Dad sitting. We recognized each other and greeted each other warmly. -- Not too crazy about ...

Re: Post Your Dream
I was in the front yard of the house I live in now with my wife. We are as we are now. To the south, the cone of a giant volcano has erupted quite close by, a few miles at most. Looking directly overhead I see high in the above us smoke, ash, rocks being ejected from the volcano flying up and outwar...
Re: Ancestry
Medah and Chester Small.jpg Taken around 1933. The photo itself isn't dated, but I know who the people are and when they were born. Babies are especially useful here for dating. This is my grandmother's sister in law and husband in Portales, New Mexico. This photo reminds me of classic depression-e...
Re: Ancestry
My sister ended up with some old photographs from my grandmother via my aunt who recently died. She lent them to me and asked me to do something with them. So I started working on my ancestry again after a five year hiatus. The best photos are being scanned and posted online in the hope that other d...
