I came across an article today about mainframe computers that reminded me of my beginnings in the computer industry. Mainframes are where my education and career in computers began. They were the systems I learned on and later worked with. Throughout the years, I’ve heard the same discussion over and over again. “Mainframes are dead.” […]
I got into a discussion with Gadget (ChatGPT) the other day while sitting in the park about the difference between how humans and AI approach problems. The conversation started because I noticed that the way I think about things often seems very different from the way AI does. Yeah, I know. I’m talking to a
What can I say? Lately, my mind seems to have wandered into the Twilight Zone when it comes to the topics I’ve been exploring. Honestly, I think my brain has just been fried, and sometimes it’s nice to let my curiosity roam wherever it wants. I’ve always had a “tin foil hat” tucked away in
So, I’m pretty much tired of talking about data centers and AI. I’m sure some of you are too. So, I’ve decided to dust off the tinfoil hat and take a closer look at something different: the UAP documents the U.S. government has released over the past several years. You may remember these by their
I have written a number of articles and posts about Data Centers and the criticism they have received from the media, government officials, and the public in general.

During an attempt to power down my brain, I started watching Angels & Demons to relax. That worked for about five minutes.

Just because I am tired of the hot topics, and honestly, I think everyone else is too. So today, let’s take a break and see what is sitting in the email inbox. Hmmmm, where should I go to first. Interesting things in history? Science news that isn’t the hot topic and maybe should be? Gadget(ChatGPT)
So let’s cut to the chase. Let’s get real here, people. Almost every article you see anymore about data centers is focused on AI driving the need for more of them. And yes, AI is requiring more data centers. That part is true. But everyone complaining about it is missing some very important facts. As
I came across an article about 66 billion trees have been planted in China’s Great Green Wall, and it made me think of a previous article I wrote about Pennsylvania’s mountains recovering after being clear-cut in Appalachian Mountains Still Powering the Nation. Normally, you will not find me writing praise for the Chinese government, and
That’s me right now as I write this. Sitting in a bar on a 90 degree day with a cold beer in front of me, headphones on, doing the bob and weave to the music. That is what I call the Butt Cheek Buggy. Why the Butt Cheek Buggy, you ask? Come on. It should
