According to the U.S. Geological Survey tectonic summary, the earthquake occurred because of “oblique …

Posted By : Mitch TobolAs spring approaches, many of you might be looking at your grills wondering what you might be cooking this year. For me, I'm a year-round griller/smoker but the better weather allows me to smoke longer with more consistency, not always having to tend to the fire. I was asked last night for my recipe for smoking baby back ribs. So here it is (d …
The Bear
Posted By : Mitch TobolIs anyone else watching this on Hulu? It's a tragic comedy based in Chicago. I think this is a breakthrough series, similar to "Breaking Bad," that will change how series are made. It centers around a family in Boston and starts at a specific point in time, but goes into the past, filling out reasons for relationships through the exploration of t …
Merrily along
Posted By : Mitch TobolI had an unusual teaching experience this past week. Instead of the entire class on the screen, the format was a Zoom webinar. So I taught for two hours seeing only myself without images of the students or even hearing their voices. What I did was open the chat window and encourage the students to ask questions, comment, and respond when I aske …

Posted By : Mitch TobolIt's nice to walk into a restaurant and have a rapport with the staff. La Parma on Roslyn Rd, is such a place. A solid southern Italian restaurant where Jerard, the owners son, works and Rollie is the operations guy. It's our go-to spot after the Sparks program, where the ambiance, the genuine connections, and the authentic southern Italian cu …
Are we done with winter?
Posted By : Mitch TobolIs that it? I can't help but wonder if the sparse snowfall we've experienced is all we're getting this season. Climate patterns are shifting, and with them, our expectations of seasonal norms. Only time will tell. I may have to move to Buffalo.
Text into video
Posted By : Mitch TobolWe are in the midst of the lightning fast changes in Artificial intelligence. Right now I can type a simple sentence into only AI video apps such as invideo.ai and in a few minutes, it creates a 2 minute video. As an example I just created this video about Gotham starting at 7:15Am this morning. It took 10 minutes for the software to create and pr …
Card Day?
Posted By : Mitch TobolValentine's Day is around the corner...start getting your cards, flowers, and chocolates orders in :-) I thought it was initially started by Hallmark or a flower company but actually there are several stories how this began. According to the most famous, Saint Valentine was executed for secretly marrying couples to spare husbands from war, defyin …
We’re putting the band back together!
Posted By : Mitch TobolThis hasn’t happened in 3 years…my nuclear family is getting together. To facilitate this, flights must be arranged and coordinated, hotel rooms booked, and activities planned. Lest I forget, COVID tests and an abundance of caution taken prior to the weekend. To have everyone in one room is worth the work. I’ll have to make sure my phone is ch …
Full or Empty
Posted By : Mitch TobolIs it better to be an optimist or a realist in life? Is the glass half full or half empty? Being an optimist is like wearing rose-colored glasses finding joy in the bleakest situations, transforming obstacles into stepping stones. On the other side, realists walk with their feet firmly planted on the pragmatic ground, ensuring decisions are wel …
I pixared myself
Posted By : Mitch TobolA new AI app I found in the new GPT store (everything seems new:) called Cartoonize Yourself will turn your photos into Pixar-style illustrations. Always enjoying trying new things, I uploaded the following picture; After about 20 seconds produced this... Looks just like me doesn't it? (Love the full head of hair :)

She ate it with such vigor I started bringing two. The first time I brought two she ate both but the second and third time, no-go. I figured she may have gottent tired of …
