Freelancers will understand 😉

Technically yes, as this New York Times story about people flooding science fiction magazines with AI-generated story submissions makes evident. But realistically, no, because all these generated stories are kinda trash, and anyway, it’s not the AI that’s flooding the submissions pile with crap, it’s people — scamsters looking for a quick shot of money, […]

OMG is the AI Coming For My Job?!???!??!!!?!?!?

Many people quit looking for work when they find a job. ~Author unknown I Monkey here. For a long time (I’m two, so that’s a long time!), I’ve been trying to figure out what my job is around these parts. Everybody has to have a job. Some get paid. Others don’t. But a job keeps […]

Monkey’s New Job

Unique RV paint job

I’m a sucker for historical fiction as it toys with timelines and actual events but holds true the atmosphere of the period, character impressions, and the filmmaker’s freedom to interpret. As the late, great Roger Ebert would say, “I look to books for facts and movies for feelings.” Despite fabricating a few incidents and compartmentalizing […]

Reely Bernie Faves: Steve Jobs (2015)

Who is old enough to remember Ford Motor Company’s 1981 advertising slogan? Television, radio, and print ads proclaimed, “Quality Is Job 1”. The company wanted to overcome their stained reputation of the 1970s. They also did manage to largely improve their product line. I even considered buying one of their cars. I thought about those […]

Is Quality Job 1?

The other day I had a most dreadful experience: the day after making a mistake at work, I was called into a meeting with the bosses. I thought I was in trouble. Instead, the opposite happened. They wanted me to try something that might help me to do my job better.  While feeling relieved that […]
