Toy Story 5

Just finished watching "Toy Story 5" released earlier this year by Disney/Pixar.
Now I decided not to see "Toy Story 5" when it was released in theaters because I have not been impressed by previous Disney/Pixar releases and I had stopped watching "Inside-Out 2" long before the halfway point because Read more of this blog post »

Hope, Books, and Toothpaste

Last night, I was trying to put toothpaste back into the tube. I’m serious. This was the genuine stuff, the crème de la crème, straight from the dentist himself. According to the label, it was “part of a professional program to prevent cavities.” It was supposed to do all kinds of things. What matte Read more of this blog post »

A combination of sci-fi and fantasy

There are not that many books that combine these two genres. The Rajad: From World to World is one of those books. It became a sci-fi fantasy only because of its natural progression from the first book, The Rajad: In the Mountains of Aeyd. Since I made the alien Rajad from another planet, the story Read more of this blog post »

The Most Dangerous Thing About AI May Be What It Learns From Us

We spend a lot of time worrying about what artificial intelligence might become.

I wonder if we should spend a little more time worrying about its teachers.

Cassian Merrick (5 stars): This novel is beautifully strange.
