So, I was just sitting here writing a post about my expectation for a strange visitation tonight. I went on to say that I turned on my bedroom alarm clock again after more than 2 years with it being off because I was tired of seeing the same number sequences all the time. Seeing the…
CleanTalk Addresses Several Self Hosted WordPress Concerns
I first learned of CleanTalk back in early May 2022 when a 3rd party email solutions provider wrote to me with concerns about the amount of spam email attempts going through my site. Fortunately, they also provided CleanTalk Anti-Spam as a recommendation to help mitigate the shear volume of email spam. Taking a closer look…
Amazon’s Wheel of Time Series
The day finally arrived and I, like so many others, could geek out and get our WoT on, and didn’t it feel good! Damn right it did up until the first episode. Almost from the first scene problems for the fans of the novels popped up.
Personal Update
I know that I haven’t been too active on this blog for the better part of a year but what can I say, this pandemic has left me oh so uninspired. It isn’t like I haven’t been busy this whole time as I have been. I really didn’t want to do a lot of writing…

Turns out that…
Global Warming and Carbon Tax and Geo Engineering – Oh My!
Here’s a thought for you. Mainstream media sounded the alarm bell for global warming and what has the result been? The creation of a do nothing, transfer of wealth, tax on carbon. Turns out that the rise in air temperature, what most people think of global warming as, is not the thing that humanity should…

Voice Forensics in Artificial Intelligence – Who Knew?
We’ve all heard various things about AI or artificial intelligence. For me, AI was being developed through the collected information via search engines and then social media. My personal position has always been that the big breakthroughs in AI would stem from companies like Google. In fact, the accumulated personal data recorded by Google over…
