I’ve given myself a quintet of weekdays to write some introductory posts before I jump into the meat of the the things I actually want to write about on this site.

Navel gazing in the idea-killer, so one may as well embrace it for a few days and get it out of one’s system so that the proper work can be done.

This is a project about technology.

Oh great, another one—you say.

But I won’t be reviewing tech or offering advice on the latest gear, no.

I want to write about the clash of our humanity with technology. It’s a fuzzy line we’ve crossed here, from tools that defined us as human beings and allow us freedom and luxury beyond any other critter that evolved upon this blue-green orb… to machines that replace who we are in body, mind and spirit.

Yeah. I’m mostly leaning into artificial intelligence here. Generative chatbot algorithms and slop-gushing software that slogs ever forward in a relentless march to replace us—or something. That’s what I want to think and write about.

My goal is simple: keep it simple. Ideas posted in the form of a weekday mini-essay, Monday through Friday, in chunks roughly (but not fixed at) two hundred words long.

Maybe I’ll post about gadgets I’ve been playing with.

Maybe I’ll ramble on about something I saw in the news.

Maybe I’ll get philosophical about creativity and tech.

But this week, I’m just writing about the project itself—one hundred percent human-written words.

Stay tuned.
