I have a new blog post to share!

PSA: If you live a black community, there's a good chance your waterline has lead in it. If your home was build in 1970 or earlier, the paint has lead in it. Same for schools, churches, etc.. If you boil lead contiminated water, you make it worse.

Chicago must warn residents about toxic lead pipes but has barely started - WBEZ Chicago
Months past a federal deadline, more than 90% of at-risk Chicagoans haven’t been told their drinking water could be unsafe. Of the 10 cities with the most lead pipes, only Chicago has confirmed it hasn't finished sending out notices.

I created a game engine for interactive stories, in Rust, as a tool to introduce my kids to programming. You can read about my development process in my new blog post. Additionally, the link to the game engine is near the top if you want to jump straight to that.

AI generated content looks great for the first three seconds you are looking at it. However, after the tenth second, you'll miss the quality of human made content.

You can remove an artifact, but the history behind that artifact will always persist.

Having a dot floating in a void of whitespace feels wrong. It should have to attach to something. At least for readability.

Life lesson: Don't buy the "luxury" brand. The "made in China" version, is the same product, made by the same people, in the same factory. Or better yet, buy local. Save your money.

Have they ever once stopped to consider that DEI done respectfully, actually works better for innovation, social harmony, and the average standard of living in a society, than the alternatives?

It's interesting how we can see conjoined twins with 2 heads on 1 body, & not question it. While most of us don't understand it, we accept their uniqueness as a fact. However, the moment someone comes out as transgender, we immediately question & deny everything! Where is our humility & compassion?

Farmers are careful to maintain the genetic diversity of livestock, to prevent defects from entering our food chain. In other words, we have DEI for hamburgers, yet we can't have it for people? #DiversityIsOurStrength

Genetic diversity in farm animals--a review - PubMed
Domestication of livestock species and a long history of migrations, selection and adaptation have created an enormous variety of breeds. Conservation of these genetic resources relies on demographic characterization, recording of production environments and effective data management. In addition, m …

If you are against Diversity, Equity, or Inclusion, what does that make you? America is regressing horribly. What happened to "love thy neighbor?"
