Asbestos is a group of naturally-occurring fibrous silicate materials (amosite, chrysotile, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite, and anthophyllite). They’re flexible enough to be woven and heat resistant, so at one point, humans used them in…well, just about everything. From car parts (brakes, clutches, transmission parts, etc.) to packing materials, heat-resistant fabrics, and even toothpaste, asbestos has been…

One of my recent hobbies has been reviewing open source tools created with AI, and determining the relative safety (or lack thereof) within them. I really liked the idea behind supermemoryai’s Claude Supermemory, but I didn’t love that they forced everything to write to their servers. With a long history in online and affiliate marketing,…

From AI Skeptic to Strategic User: My Journey of Changing Minds on Artificial Intelligence Change is uncomfortable, especially when it involves admitting you might have been wrong about something you felt passionate about.

I’m not gonna sugar-coat it, I did not expect to revisit a post from 2014 today (High Treason). Nor did I ever think I’d see conservatives assailing 2A rights, especially after they were so vocal when Kyle illegally crossed state lines with a rifle he couldn’t legally own and used it to kill protestors. I…

I’ve promised myself for the last few years I would bring this blog back…there aren’t a ton of posts from the past, and some of them were written in the frustration we all know when we find a problem that doesn’t have a clear solution… After consideration, I’ve left them as-is; while there’s no need…

Ho. Lee. Fuck. Two fucking days. Two mother-fucking shit-eating stupid-waste-of-time days… Technically, the last couple of hours of one day and all of another. Lost. Gone to the great timekeeper in the sky. There’s something about “assume” and “making an ass out of ‘u’ and me…” Where does this come from? Thanks for asking! Thomas…

If you’re familiar with gun laws, this cartoon is laughable. If not, it might really make you frustrated and want to lash out at the GOP. Now, even as a registered Republican, I have to say I’m not re-registering with that party until they get their heads out of their asses. I may never register…

I was thinking about the mess with California Senator Leland Yee today, and the way in which things are handled in politics. Just last year, Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) accused Edward Snowden of treason for leaking NSA secrets. Pelosi is the Minority Leader of the US House of Representatives and was Speaker of the House…

If you haven’t heard yet, Chrysler Group is demanding a number of early (and even some pre-production) Dodge Vipers crushed. As a longtime fan of this marque (I was 15 when they came out and it is my all-time favorite automobile), I was brokenhearted. Cars get donated to schools and destroyed after their useful lifetimes…
