You probably don’t remember 110 film. It doesn’t come in a cylindrical can like 35mm film. It comes preloaded on a roll that looks a little like an old phone receiver—two small, black cylinders connected by a long piece

I got bit by the publishing bug in 2013. I was applying to graduate schools and I didn’t have a writing sample from my undergraduate days that I was happy with. So, I decided to write a new paper. With the help of a phil

Glen Powell hosted SNL last weekend. It was one of the best episodes I’ve seen in awhile. (Beware, spoilers). In Powell’s opening monologue, he tells the story of the first time he was supposed to host the venerated sket

It’s easy to be vindictive, to be to be selfish. It’s easier to burn bridges than it is to mend them. The quotation that keeps coming to mind is from Julius Campbell in Boaz Yakin’s 2000 classic, Remember The Titans. In

I was writing something this week that caused me to look up what movie contains the line, “I’m gonna look out for myself, and I’m gonna get mine.” (Do you know the movie?). I consulted Google search and the Gemini answer

I was at Google’s headquarters (The “Googleplex”) in Mountain View, California last month for the Imagination in Action conference. There is plenty I could write about—a Distinguished Researcher at DeepMind who talked ab

When I was young, I used to build those plastic model airplanes you can find at hobby stores. When they were finished, instead of putting them on a shelf, my dad helped me to hang them from the ceiling; so, it looked lik

When I was about 8 years old, my family and a bunch of other families from my church participated in a jog-a-thon. We asked friends and neighbors to support us by pledging a certain number of dollars per lap that would u

My Grandpa used to do a magic trick with his dog, Halley. He’d tell gullible audiences (usually us kids) that Halley knew how to count. Then he’d hold out a milkbone and tell Halley, “count to eight.” Halley barked at th

The global AI phenomenon we are all living through began in 2022 when OpenAI launched ChatGPT, a chatbot based on a large language model called GPT-3. Within months, ChatGPT had gained 100 million users, making it the fa

There’s a line in C. S. Lewis’s space trilogy that sticks with me. In Out of The Silent Planet, the first book in the series, the protagonist, Dr. Ransom, is speaking to the villain, Professor Weston. Weston is a world-r

I pushed the throttles up slightly, increasing power and I banked ever so slightly to the left and then back to the right. This put a little extra lateral space between me and the lead aircraft. As I passed him—another T
