Two months ago, I upgraded almost all my computer components except for the SSD, PSU and monitors, because I was getting tired of how it was beginning to show sluggishness. I could choose to step down the heavy usage a bit, but also felt a little bit money could do the trick. One thing led…

while searching for photo shots with asians latinx and black students in Adobe Stock Images, I see plenty of white students or white+black students but barely any latinx or asians. And like 99% of Asians I saw were women. Lol what decade is this stock library from? I even tried searching “California classroom”

Neat.. the fitness center I started going in November last year has already made it to the top 13 of all places I’ve been to, since like 2010. Top 1 and 3 are current and past home. Seeing how my church does not make it into the rankings, and how some of the numbers are…

My Pixel 3 phone has this feature where it can filter through potential scam/robo/ad calls by going through an interactive script with the call using voice synthetizer, and the phone holder can monitor the conversation live (if they want) via text through voice transcription. Google calls this “AI Call Screening” I got one such call…

The southern Indian Ocean is huge. When I learned that there was a small set of islands smack right in the middle of it called the Kerguelen Islands, with the apt alternate name of Desolation Islands, I was strangely hooked. I kept thinking of how cold and helpless the place was, and how lost it…
