What is New Year's Eve?!
New ideas are forming that seem to elicit various kinds of feelings for myself as well as others. New Year's Eve is a time to celebrate it seems, but for some it is a time to think and reflect as well as celebrate the past and hopes for the future. Some wonder about the rights and wrongs of society and how things may or may not change over time, but why should one worry for we all need to take each day one at a time and live that day no need to make resolutions that don't keep anyway. Peace.

Coming back after the Holidays
The holidays the chance to spend with family and friends to be sure. But when you work as a freelancer at this time of year it's hard to think about work and I proved it for I am way behind in my reading and writing. Even though I have been jotting down writing ideas from time to time and sharing a few of my Christmas colorings I have been lax in my daily work.

H/Jack
Introduction I will be honest, when I saw this advertised on Apple TV the only things that grabbed me were the fact Idris Elba was in it and the title "H/Jack".

Autotune Tears
Digital Tears and Ghosts in the Studio The script has become a seasonal awards-show classic: an established artist, face solemn and trophy in hand, uses their acceptance speech to denounce the latest technological heresy. Today, the monster is artificial intelligence (AI)—a soulless threat, a soul-less automaton poised to usurp human creativity and devalue artists’ livelihoods. Yet this moral panic is not new; it is merely the latest chapter in the music industry’s long, repetitive history of resisting progress—a predictable cycle of fear, rejection, and, inevitably, assimilation.
