Why do AI company logos look like buttholes? “The fluidity and warmth of human-centered thinking through the use of circles is perhaps the most elegant way anyone has ever described making a logo that resembles an anus.” https://velvetshark.com/ai-company-logos-that-look-like-buttholes

Ravens have 17 primary wing feathers, called pinions. Crows have 16 primary wing feathers.

So the difference between ravens and crows is a matter of a pinion.

Doing taxes at the last minute today. I almost forgot that I worked for three separate companies last year. The second one was about a month, and I don't even include it on my resume, so it just slipped my mind.

The family and I went on a hike at Brazos Bend State Park. Saw lots of cool nature, including a smiling alligator, and a white egret who was a skilled fisherman.

An American alligator is sunning himself. He's resting on the top of the water, surrounded by watercress. He is seen from the side, and appears to be smiling.

An American alligator is sunning himself. He's resting on the top of the water, surrounded by watercress. He is seen from the side, close on his face, showing his smile very clearly. He looks almost serene.

A lake is visible on the left side. The water is clear, and reflects the sunlight. Ripples on the surface are visible, indicating motion across the water. On the right is an open field of grass and flowers. A dirt trail goes between them. Several tall trees are visible. Everything is very lush and green.

A white egret stands on the surface of the water, patiently waiting for some lunch to swim by. He stairs intently into the water, completely still. His long beak poised and ready. He is surrounded by lush greenery, and the water is still and clear, reflecting the sky above.

The egret has caught his lunch. A small fish wriggles in his beak, flailing about, knowing its end is nigh, unable to breath in the oxygen-rich air, its gills useless. In its final moments, it thinks if its family as the egret swallows it whole. The lushness of the landscape, and the stillness of the water stand in sharp contrast to the brutality of nature.

In dealing with those who are undergoing great suffering, if you feel burnout setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself. The point is to have a long-term perspective. ~ Dalai Lama

Near the bottom is a small village. A bridge spans a waterfall across the middle with street lights across it. There are lights coming from the homes in the village.

You can never know a single person fully, not even yourself. Even if you think you know yourself in your safe glass castle, you don’t know yourself in the dirt.

A man stands facing away from the viewer, looking westward into the sunset. The viewer is looking up at the man from the ground. The man is standing in the desert. A few small cacti are visible on the ground. The man is standing on a small mound of dirt. An aurora is visible in the sky. The sky is also filled with stars, while closer to the horizon near the setting sun, a few whispy clouds are seen.
