What is Vibe-coding … and an interesting CNBC segment on Google partnering with Replit. Vibe-coding is an informal term for a newer style of software development in which the intent, flow, and natural language “vibe” of what a developer wants matters more than writing detailed, line-by-line code. Leading companies and platforms

Have you ever wondered about those oddities on clothes and why they continue to be added even though “most” people don’t use them? I suspect most people have heard that the little pocket on jeans was put their by Levi Strauss for the pocket watch, but it is still interesting. Coins? Matches? Lipstick? Flash drives? […]

A couple of automotive “oldies” crossed my interests this week. One of them was of course on my automotive social media feed, but another pulled from an old magazine in my workshop. First, the Earl Scheib sign and left me remembering the annoying voice and advertising from the 1970s and 80s: “Hi, I’m Earl Scheib, […]

Today’s “Freebird” for Music Monday by Lynyrd Skynyrd is a 1973 classic, but I also recently heard “Freebird!” being exclaimed as a joke Fox Business as a way to “break the monotony” of a conversation and humorously “make fun of” each other on the 12-2pm slotted “The Big Money Show.” So for today … here’s […]

I’ve been on the waiting list to download the ebook “Taking Midway” by Martin Dugard from my local library for months, but my hold recently came up and so I checked it out two days before National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (today). The timing is excellent for “remembering” the 2403 fallen Americans back in 1941. Martin […]

On Thanksgiving weekend, our family walked around the shops in Liberty Center before going to the movie Zootopia 2 as a family; it was very nice. Besides the granddaughters enjoying the candy store, I particularly enjoyed a shop with an old Volkswagen Microbus. Of course I couldn’t help but reminisce about my old friend Charlie […]

If you’re like me, having an online calendar that automatically keeps things up-to-date has been super convenient. I’m referring to things like airlines and hotel reservations showing up when emails arrive after purchasing tickets or making reservations. It has also been helpful with personal events like invitations from my daughter for the events in their […]

After reading an opinion from several years ago, but also after recent events, rising tensions and political divide in the U.S. … the same article is being passed around social media again. The writings seemed almost too spot on so I was interested in knowing how much truth there was to it — so I’m […]

The “over-forecasted” first winter snowstorm for 2025-26 was spot on. By morning we had at least 6 inches of heavy snow. About the only thing that would have made it look a little prettier would have been some sunshine … but it was still beautiful (took the photos too early in the morning though). I’m […]

From regular reading of rumors, the Apple M5 MacBook Air is likely a spring of 2026 event … but besides a faster chip, CPU speeds and GPU, the display will likely stay the same until 2027. Who knows though, if the price and specs are right, it could be an upgrade option for me? BUT […]

A month or so ago, David Bowie and the song “Changes” was highlighted on Music Monday. It started me thinking about other hits, and I realized that “Rebel Rebel” was another one of the timeless classics that should be included. It was a 1974 UK release and big hit. It is likely known worldwide by […]
