My wife's relationship with Siri has been very tense lately. He (the voice she has) doesn't respond and listen to her -- so she ends up yelling at him. Just glad it isn' tme.

Federated Mastodon API Automation Building Blocks - https://apievangelist.com/2023/01/08/mastodon-api-automation-building-blocks/
I am training some new Tensorflow texture transfer ML models. Reflecting my view of the world right now I am going a little less dark that I have historically, and will be focusing in on the California ideology--as this is where my head is at right now. I am training the ML models using these two images, which i will then apply to other photos I've taken.

Mystery of why Roman buildings have survived so long has been unraveled, scientists say
"...white chunks in the concrete, referred to as lime clasts, gave the concrete the ability to heal cracks that formed over time. The white chunks previously had been overlooked as evidence of sloppy mixing or poor-quality raw material."
"The new finding could help make manufacturing today's concrete more sustainable, potentially shaking up society as the Romans once did."

Journalists ca. 15000 BC: "Agriculture, the new alternative to the hunting and gathering technologies that we all know and love is difficult to master and only seems to be performed by nerds that have criticized the gods for various reasons. Some agriculturists even run their own 'instances' called 'farms', which then 'federate' with other farms, leading to village formation and so-called 'markets' which surely will never catch on".
Pigeon busted flying into prison with a backpack of meth. Expert from the Vancouver Poultry & Fancy Pigeon Association said there are two plausible ways to use a pigeon to deliver drugs. One, someone could throw the pigeon over the fence into the prison. Second, an inmate could spend months training the bird from the inside to recognize the prison as its home. Someone would get the bird to the outside, fasten its cargo and release it to return home to the prison. https://boingboing.net/2023/01/06/pigeon-busted-flying-into-prison-with-a-backpack-of-meth.html

OK. I am on the Post platform now too - https://post.news/kinlane -- but I broke my golden rule that I don't use platforms that do not have a public API. So we'll see how long I stay. If I can't get data in or out in a programmatic way -- nothing else matters.
Coming online for the new year....YES, positive reviews and feedback on new book!!!....oh one of my favorite and enduring stalkers has spent their holidays commenting on each one talking trash about me. Let's do this 2023!!
I spent 2010-2019 working for myself, and the last 3+ years in a great job. The view of my email inbox and the emotions it triggers are wildly different between these two states. I dread my inbox these days with all the people wanting things from me, and back in the day I loved seeing who wanted things from me.
