I thought MAGA was isolationist. No more foreign wars. I am curious how they will react to the incursion into Venezuela and the toppling of Maduro.

Watching the Stranger Things series finale! My prediction: Vecna forces them all to sing, so it becomes a musical theater episode. #strangerthings

And maybe I am in a better area for architecture than England, but I find Toronto's newest buildings have the best architecture, whereas they seem to see modern architecture as the worst ever.

I really enjoyed this conversation between philosophers Alain de Botton and Alex O'Connor on the built environment getting uglier: https://youtu.be/_eMnq3LtXd8?si=hUxR6PxOW_cLhyyP

I know I am old now because while watching Christmas classics like Home Alone and The Simpsons Christmas specials, I identify more with the parent storylines than the kid storylines.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: if you're a business that gets exposed by a journalist or YouTuber, the fallout isn't the result of the exposure; it's a result of your business's shady policies and behaviors. You just delayed it through secrecy.

2026 Prediction: AI appliances will be marketed B2B for businesses whose policies, client contracts, and regulations make cloud-based AI impossible. Edge AI with lightweight models will be most of the AI computing in the end.

2026 Prediction: Hype around AI will transition from replacing white-collar work to monitoring (security cameras, IT systems, sales data, etc.), report writing, and human-in-the-loop intervention.

Few word review of Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man. Very enjoyable. Storytelling through lighting and color was extraordinary. The surrounding light and color changed what the characters meant. Very watchable. Clearly presented visuals and dialogue. Likable characters. 5/5

I wish I had the means to buy an Olares One off of their Kickstarter. This does everything I have struggled to get a home server to do, plus local, private AI. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/167544890/olares-one-the-local-al-powerhouse-on-your-desk

As I get older, I appreciate a genuine conversation more and more. A lot of the time, I talk to someone and get their NPC dialogue tree.

Micron to flush its Crucial consumer DRAM brand and its 19.6% market share down the toilet to free up capacity for the data center / AI market. Unbelievable. https://www.reuters.com/business/micron-exit-crucial-consumer-memory-business-2025-12-03/

As a father of a 10-year-old, the schools need to do better, and we'll have to provide extra support in math in particular. My kid, our kids, can't be left behind.
