What if you put a group of AI Agents in a role-playing heist game?
January 31, 2025
It should be no surprise I play around with AI in various scenarios. Look at my blog, my github, my portfolio, and my credentials. I had an idea a while ago: what if I threw a bunch of AI agents into a role-playing game of a murder mystery and I randomly chose one of those […]

Interstellar ending explained (with science!)
December 31, 2024
I recently had the privilege of watching the IMAX re-release of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar ten years after the movie was originally released. Some people didn’t like the ending of the movie and I think they didn’t understand it. I’ll try to explain it in detail. Regardless if you liked the film or not, it’s a […]

The case for “Buy it for life”
December 5, 2024
For decades I focused on buying things cheap. Clothes, phones, cars, shoes, etc. were always purchased based on the cost. But, what about the value of those purchases? Is it really worth it long term to buy everything cheap, or is it better to buy something that lasts a long time?

The Dichotomy of Consumerism vs Business Responsibilities in Climate Change
November 14, 2024
It wasn’t until Tesla hit a direct sales market that many manufacturers realized there was a consumer market for electric vehicles. Often, dealerships misled manufacturers that there was no need, and now they’ve been found to stand in the way of consumers purchasing them where companies like Ford are suing dealerships (source). While electric vehicles […]

LLM Use Case: Recipes
June 23, 2024
Imagine for a minute you need a recipe for a meal, say baby back ribs. You search the internet for various recipes and find one that claims it’s the best ribs ever. As you dig into the recipe you find one ingredient you don’t have. Now what? If you’re experienced with cooking, you can find […]

Ultimate Guide to Freeware Software
June 14, 2024
Look, I get it, we are all sick of subscriptions for software or paying for software that is often mediocre or aggravating. What if I told you that there is free software that is equally as good, and sometimes, better than alternatives? Look no further!

I Created a Board Game
March 4, 2024
Before the pandemic wreaked havoc on our livelihoods and sanity, I started building a board game after finding some games I became very passionate about. Games like Carcassone, Dominion, King Domino, Smallworld, and Forbidden Island were on my rotation frequently and I wanted to build something that I wanted to play.

Best Airlines
January 10, 2024
I’ve flown a lot over the years, and I find myself sometimes saying to myself, “I should just pay the extra money and fly this other airline instead.” The problem with always seeking out the cheapest airline ticket is that it’s not always the best value. Just because a ticket is cheap, doesn’t mean you […]

The Prophet Paradox
September 12, 2023
There’s probably a better term for this than the “Prophet Paradox,” but I often wonder if people like Michel de Nostredame (Nostradamus) or Leonardo Da Vinci are really prophets. Even Biblical people like Ezekiel and Abraham come to mind. Did what they say come true? What if they never said anything? Obvious warning: This is […]

What the Debt Ceiling Bill (H.R.211) actually says
June 1, 2023
Thanks to Google Bard, I prompted the following question for each Title within the H.R.211 Debt Ceiling bill: “Summarize the following section as if I was an elementary school student.” I’m not a lawyer nor am I a genius, so somewhere below that is ideal. It’s also worth reminding people that it’s a Language Learning […]
