Red Rising; Thoughts on the Society I recently finished reading through the full Red Rising series, completing Light Bringer just a few days ago. After sitting with all of these wonderful books, I wanted to dig into some of the bigger topics the series raised for me. I’ll try not to post spoilers, but that’s hard to...

Agree as well, regardless of if you’re having LLMs help with coding or writing. It’s your word/voice your putting out there. So you better be able to back it up. — in response to On Using AI in Blogging

Day 50, Write about a news event from when you were still in school and how it made you feel. News events in the 90s were a little different than now. You didn’t learn about them until you got home and turned on the news. Which is kinda slow. Probably the one event that impacted me the most, dating me a little, was...

Day 49: Do you have a set of rules or guidelines for your life? Did you write them? Why do you use them? I don’t usually bring up my belief system, but since that’s the point of this prompt, I’ll share. I identify as a Humanist because their rules and tenets make sense to me.

Day 47, Have you ever had a brush with celebrity? Write about It. I’m pretty sure I met a band member from White Snake while on a smoke break in Denver, around 2013.

Day 47, Do you consider yourself to be an international person? Why or why not? If so, write about people you know or have known from other countries. No, I hope to be at some point. But at the time of writing this, I haven’t been international. Will update this if that changes, later, though.

Day 46: What is your all-time favorite story to tell from all the jobs you’ve held? The one story that I like to tell was when I was working for Sony Online Entertainment. They were the kewl kids that worked on EverQuest and EverQuest 2. It was a really big deal for me, even though I was only working for the...

What do you remember being a big deal to adults during your childhood or teenaged years? This is a tough prompt. I think as kids we are so in our own world, that understanding what is a ‘big deal’ can be a little hard to comprehend. I remember, my parents stressing and telling me why, but those dots didn’t always...

Day 44, Are you an exerciser? What physical achievement are you most proud of? Ever play any sports? I love riding my bike, and I love running. Basically, if it’s cardio I’m here for it. No crazy physical achievements. Oh, this one time when I was a teen and began running a few miles I found this groove that was...
