Smoking lettuce

Rep. Steve Buyers claims smoking tobacco is no more dangerous than smoking lettuce.



I wonder what this guy smoked while he was in college?

Hat tip to Salon.com, where I saw this clip.

Well, OK: If you take the lettuce and spray it with a bunch of s**t, then maybe it's as dangerous as smoking tobacco. But why did he choose lettuce? Why didn't he say ... jock-strap lint? Or Wheaties boxes? It *does* make you wonder what he was toking (maybe he had gotten into Governor Sanford's private stash).

Argentine Green? I have this vision of him toking on a big lime-colored cigar.

Maybe he went to Pei Wei and tried lighting up one of the lettuce wraps.

Random Thoughts on AI-generated images

It's been a while, but I'm back (bitching as usual). Let's start with....Artificial Intelligence generated art! 1. The first thing to remember is this is the new Bright Shiny Object. LIke the camera once was. Upon seeing the first daguerreotype around 1840, the French painter Paul Delaroche (1797-1856), declared: “From today, painting is dead.” He was a little premature. And there will continue to be be more Bright Shiny Objects that will grab everyone’s attention and cause gnashing of teeth and rending of garments. 2. It’s also version .01 of this Bright Shiny Object. What we’re currently seeing is essentially demo reels: “See what I can do!!” Interesting but not *that* interesting. Once the excitement wears off it will be just another tool, used badly by some, used well by others. The camera did not replace painting, but it opened the eyes of artists to the possibilities of other forms. 3. Where Does the Artificial End and the Artist Begin? in my mind this situation is th...

Cloud on the Cheap

These days, The Cloud is all the rage in the computer world. Cloud storage is probably as far as most folks want (or need) to go - think Box.com, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive/Docs...the list goes on. You can collect quite a bit of free off-site storage if you're of a mind to.  These are all examples of  SaaS - Software as a Service . PaaS - Platform as a Service - gives you a specific pre-configured platform to build applications or services. Finally there is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which is virtualized hardware: CPUs, hard drives, networking, firewalls and the like. A little background:  at my day job at Sisyphean Corp, I manage hosting for a couple dozen big websites (I lose count sometimes).When I first took this on, we were on physical hardware. Trouble with this is once you make your decisions about the hardware, you're sort of stuck with it for a while. If you've predicted your needs poorly, or they change, well... I migrated one o...
