Truth or Fact
What do you see? A light? A bulb? Darkness? What does the human eye see first? Do you see the reflection of the light illuminating off of the wall and the shadows of lines that it creates? Do you see the details and the intricacies of the bulb design? Or do you see the whole picture itself and nothing stands out to you?

Medusa
This is not your average story of Medusa, in fact this is not her story at all, more like our stories alike and what she stands for in my life. It starts off as a little girl where I loved Greek mythology. I loved it so much I was practically studying it. I learned of a character named Medusa. How Poseidon, Lord of the Ocean, fell "in love" with her and "kissed" her in the temple of Athena. The angry goddess punished her priestess, Medusa turning her into a monster with snakes in her hair and the ability to turn people to stone by looking at them. Why would Athena make such a being ever exist? Only did I later discover that this Poseidon, his "kisses" were "deadly". She did not want them, they were poison to her and it left her grief stricken and considered as an infidel by the virgin goddess Athena. But in a different version, Athena felt bad for Medusa, but could not go with out punishing her, (because Greek myths). So this once beautiful priestess, Medusa, was gifted with the ability to turn intruders (particularly men) into stone, because she just wanted to be left alone to grieve out the rest of her days.

The Lotus Blooms From Mud
This is a story that grows from the darkest days of my life. These days smell of putrid swamp, sound like buzzing flies, appears to be purgatory on the Styx, and I burned incense incessantly, covering the smell of rotting trash. Looking retrospectively, I know these days were not all dark, and now see bright sparks of light that allowed me to persevere to finally learn gratitude and the manifestation of abundance. These dark days lived between 2015 and 2018.

Review of 'Raised by Wolves' 1.2-3
I just watched Raised by Wolves 1.2 and 1.3, on HBO Max. It's all that is available there now (along with the first episode that I saw and reviewed here the other night), but the three are more than enough to convince that this will be a major science fiction series, with a complex, multi-level, intriguing narrative.

What is Machine Learning and How Does It Work?
The world of artificial intelligence is vast, contentious, and sometimes confusing, so it’s easy to find the terminology dense, particularly when words like “algorithm,” “machine learning,” and “neural net” are often used interchangeably by marketing departments trying to keep up with the changing world of smart computing. Of these terms, machine learning is perhaps most frequently conflated with AI, but they're not the same thing. Keep reading to learn what machine learning is, how it differs from AI, and why it’s so important.

'Star Wars: The High Republic' Concept Art Reveals A Younger Yoda
As the Star Wars universe has expanded (or shrunk once Disney made everything outside of the films and The Clone Wars prior to mid-2014 non-canon, putting them under the Legends umbrella), we get to see more and more backstories for our favorite characters. One might make the argument that we do not need as much backstory as we have gotten. The prequel trilogy has shown that not every question about backstory needs an answer. At the same time, however, it is interesting to see more of the characters we know and love.

The Call of The Shadow
The fires raged in the forge. They echoed the power that lived within Valen. With every flicker of the flame, the magic within him raged. It poured out like a torrent of mighty water in a rushing river. Raising his hands, what was once unmarked skin became pocked with scars. They hurt.

'Star Wars: The Lightsaber Collection' Reveals Rey's Yellow-Bladed Lightsaber
The majority of recent stories told within the Star Wars canon have been books and comics. One such example is Thrawn: Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, which was just released by Del Rey. Back in early January of this year, we got the announcement of The High Republic, which will introduce readers to an all-new era set 200 years before the films set within the galaxy far, far away. During the gaps between films and even TV shows, the books have been there for the fans so that they may continue exploring new stories set within the galaxy far, far away. However, we are also getting another type of book that is sure to please readers who want more details on certain weapons that we have seen in the various stories.
