I had worn down tires and needed some new rubber. There was a choice, the same Continental's that were on my car or switch to a set of Pirellis. Since the Pirellis were cheaper I decided to take the chance on a new brand and it's a total game changer! It’s remarkable how fresh rubber can transform your driving experience. Now, every curve and cor …
No not some person or animal named eco but adopting an eco-friendly diet. This occurred to me this morning when I tied up the garbage bag in the kitchen. We throw out so much even though I'm an ardent recycler. I found this...something to think about when you go shopping. Start by choosing locally sourced produce, which reduces transportation …
We are at the cusp, an inflection point and Mustafa Suleyman, the AI CEO at Microsoft, has a new vision for the future of AI that is worth listening to. I would suggest watching this YouTube video to hear his point of view and the impact this technology will have. https://www.ted.com/talks/mustafa_suleyman_what_is_an_ai_anyway?
Waking up on a sunny Saturday morning, brewing some delicious coffee and venturing out my back door to feel the sunshine and listen to the sounds of suburbia waking up. I found a video so you can share in my experience. (BTW, there were three of them in my neighbors yard)
A silly family poem I heard every year growing up. Spring has sprung The grass has riz I wonder where dem boidies is Dem boides are on the wing Isn't that absoid The wing is on the boid
Did you feel it? I was in a meeting in Pelham NY when it happened. I thought it was so cool. People 300 miles from the epicenter felt the tremor which happened around 10:20AM yesterday The epicenter was about 4 miles southwest of Gladstone, NJ. According to the U.S. Geological Survey tectonic summary, the earthquake occurred because of “oblique …
In the warm embrace of Key West's sunlit grace, Fred, at eighty-two, stands in time's embrace. A decade's journey, with each year a marker, Mile 82, a testament, his harbor. Happy Birthday Fred :-) The photo
As 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 …
Is 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 …
I 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 …
It'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 …
Is 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.
We 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 …
Valentine'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 …
This 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 …
It's Saturday...and anything goes.
