Life’s Just a Bowl of Larrys

As a Three Stooges fan, I remember seeing the above photo on a T-shirt years ago. It made me chuckle and the phrase fits right in with this post. There is an ice cream place near us that puts a name on their sign every day. That name gets a free ice cream cone. This … Continue reading Life’s Just a Bowl of Larrys →

A-I-A-I Oh!

Last week social media was flooded with AI generated pictures of people's "action figures." You basically upload a picture of yourself and ask AI to generate it with whatever accessories you want. And while there were memes making fun of everyone doing this, I had to try it for myself. This made me laugh out … Continue reading A-I-A-I Oh! →

Life’s Little Moments

I woke up yesterday morning to exactly what I expected in regard to social media. One side gloating and the other angry.

No So Intelligent
