Welcome to The Stoneburner Times 09/30/2024

Wow!  Time really does fly by when you are having fun.   I am so far behind in my tasks here.  But by the same measure I am so very far ahead.   As usual I fell back into developer mode.   More new "stuff" to incorporate into the parent project.  The upcoming week promises to be crazy.   With any luck once the upcoming week is behind me I can begin to plunge forward in earnest.  I think I can get out of this chair with big wheels.   Being in this chair makes me feel "CLUNKY".  Especially in this small space.   It is tough to become immobile.  I will not regain total mobility for several months, but I plan to use the time wisely.  

In the days, weeks, months and years ahead I have at least two, possibly three, related product releases above that which I have planned.  

Wow!  How time flies when you are having fun.   Well, that is what many say.   Time also seems to fly when you are so busy you seemingly do not have a spare moment to look up to see what time it is, or month of the year.   

But, this last week or two I have had the opportunity to use Googles new AI, BARD.   I spent several days doing queries.   The results were STELLAR!   

I think it is going to be a fantastic tool that is going to impact every walk of life.   But I am a strong supporter of Human Intelligence (HI) over Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Many think that AI will take over the world and destroy humanity.

I can only pose the following question.   How much better can Article Intelligence (AI) be at destroying humanity than that of which Human Intelligence (HI) has been doing?

Would that not be a valid question?

I watched 60 Minutes tonight and was totally blown away by the way Sundar Pichai presented himself. 

These are just my opinions.

Too 

Too much happen in the world to keep up with.   

Too much happen in the world to keep up with.

Well, this website is now published and live on the web.  Oh Boy!!!   Not everything in the lay-out translated well to the mobile side, but I have made the corrections.   All things considered, I am satisfied.   

I did get a major shock tonight.  My brother mentioned in passing that Shepard Smith News program on CNBC.   I was very surprised as he had left Fox News two years ago to go to CNBC.   The new President of CNBC is said to be re-focusing on business news stories rather than evening news because of low ratings.    Hmmmm.   Then read that his salary was $10M per year.  Well, if his rating were down compared to other Networks then he had to go.   

But the news really struck home with me.   That is probably why I can't sleep tonight and I am working on my computer at 3AM.   That is really going to make for a long day as I have a 11:30 AM appointment.

I was planning on beginning a video shoot today, but with no sleep tonight I will look pretty haggard.  But who knows, maybe I will and maybe I won't.    

Well,  I suppose there is nothing left to do but hit the publish button and see how this website looks like out on the World Wide Web.    Everything is up to date and I should have nothing left to do but keep on hanging content on it.   Lots more yet to come yet. 

I will be starting to generate video tomorrow.   

And I will also be generating Invitations for Invitation Day Tomorrow.   

It is going to be a real HOOT!

Final edit.  Before publishing the entire site.  There is much, much more content to hang here.  I will finish the final edit today and then push the publish button.    Then I will add the video side of this effort, followed by the Podcast.   I-D will then quickly follow.   

Closer, still hanging content.

Wow, long day.  Opened the IN THE NEWS PAGE.    It was great.    I was able to plug in soooo many hints, clues and bread crumbs.   It was a "HOOT" for sure.

I spent the day  pondering the events of the previous day.   I have come to the conclusion that it is time.   So, hold on to your hats, we are leaving Kansas.

Okay, my day was spent attending my High School Class Reunion, it was my first time attending since graduation.    Less than half the graduating class attended.  Reading thru the roster of those classmates that had passed on was depressing.   So,,,,, it was both a happy and sad event for me.   But, there were several classmates that were happy to answer my questions about those not in attendance.   All things considered, it was a delightful event.   I do hope I can attend the next such event.    I was sure to hand each classmate a small index card with my email address.   I was a little taken aback when several recipients responded that they did not have a device of any type other than a flip phone and or no internet connection.    I was staggered.   But, it was a reality check for me.

I had a conversation with a classmate (Journalism Class), it was in reference to something we discussed several times in class.   It was about the novel that we each might write in the future.   I ask her if she had written he novel.   She replied that she could never set in one place long enough to accomplish the task.   Then "of course" she ask me the same question in return.   I had to remain mute neither saying yes or no.   I could have replied "yes and in accomplishing the task committed the greatest mistake of my life.   Oh Well.

Okay so I have been busy working on other aspects of this project, but today I have managed to hang the AI/HI content and edit some the other content here on the website.  It is a constant work in progress.

Okay, so it has been a busy couple of days since I last posted.   My bad.   This journal has a major significance about what this website really is.

Today I am just tidying up this new website before I really get on to the task of hanging content .

When I work at what I do here I either choose to listen music with my headphones on to block out unwanted interruptions.   I do have a playlist on YouTube that I think is great but i choose not to share with you because it might not be suitable for youngsters.

In addition I try to listen to personalities on the internet.   My favorite person is GARYVEE aka Gary Vaynerchuk.   I like his story.  His message is good, but, he can be a little coarse.   

But i have managed to get several new pages hung here.

Okay, so it is time for me to put the wheel in motion and launch this monster.    And yes, it is a monster.   Yes, my little corner of the web here at GODADDY might be misleading to many.    Actually, I have chosen to tiptoe into the shallow end of the pool and then work my way slowly to deep end.

My goal for this week is to launch The STONEBURNER TIMES website here at GODADDY, The NOT SILICON VALLEY series on YouTube, and maybe The NOT SILICON VALLEY Podcast.  And that will be a heavy load.

But, I believe that once I get all the processes down and recorded into a checklist I will be able to do 2 or possibly 3 cycles each week.

Most certainly it will be an interesting endeavor.

And so the ADVENTURE begins.....

I wish me luck!
