School has destroyed my time
Wow it has been almost two months since I have written anything in here. I kept on intending too but never got around to it due to the pile of school work that continues to mount on my desk.
I am taking four classes right now and also working full time in Dialysis. I am also adding on another class next semester so just when you think that It can not get any worse - BAM three more credit hours.
It’s okay though. School is very interesting - I am stressed but am learning all sorts of amazing things. I am taking Intermediate Algebra, Biology, Biopsychology, and Social Psychology. March first I am going to also begin human health and disease. A lot of science classes! I wish I could supplement with some fun classes but I am all out of electives. So - no more fun for me. Time to buckle down and knock all of this out of the ballpark.
Next semester is going to be even worse - and so on until I graduate and then! Med school - life’s little gift to us all. :)
Anyway - if I am disappeared again for a few months you will know why. I will make attempts to write more. It keeps the brain going and that is always good.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

Now we have a timeline of the OpenAI accidental attack against Hugging Face
OpenAI gave a last-minute presentation at the Black Hat security on Wednesday about "the Hugging Face Incident" (previously on this blog). The video was published yesterday. It's short and information dense and well worth watching, in particular because it...

I am holding pink pages in my hand, reviewing them before I collate them into my script. A magic battle ensues between Wil and Bert (fireballs, energy bolts, conjured beasts, etc.) I look at the script again, to make sure I haven’t misread it. Yeah, it rea...
