I Think, Therefore…I Don’t Bot?
It is totally my fault that CAPTCHA has returned to my computer. I tumble down the rabbit hole every time the little box comes up for me declare that I am not a robot. I check that I am not, and obviously the programming has second thoughts about that. Understandable,...
How About Chicken Attacks?
The first time I saw the movie Jaws, I almost gave myself a concussion. Don’t read on if you don’t want spoiler alerts, but, come on, that movie came out in 1975. If you haven’t seen it, you deserve spoilers. I was sitting in a cushy theater seat when the shark came...
