Some Current Thoughts on Life It’s been a bit since I wrote anything about politics or the state of the world in general. That’s definitely not because I don’t have strong feelings about all of it. It’s …

I miss the old days, when a horrific event or decision by the government came around only once in a while, and I had the time to really try to keep up with it all. On the plus side, at least I got to use a good CS Lewis excerpt from The Last Battle today. brycemoore.com/blog/some-cu...

Revisiting the Thrawn Trilogy Back in Ye Olden Days, before the Star Wars prequels came out, the way to experience Star Wars outside of the original trilogy was through books. There were a whole slew of officially licensed Star…

Reading Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire trilogy (the books that were as close to a sequel to Star Wars as fans were to get for years) is more fun now than when I first read them. No, they don't match any of the stuff other than the original trilogy, but so what? brycemoore.com/blog/revisit...

Learning with AI Advances in generative AI happen so often these days that even if you do your best to keep up with what’s out there, you still might find yourself in the dark when it comes to a new offering. Some …

Just when you think you're doing a good job staying current with the latest AI developments, you realize there's something that happened months ago that you totally missed. brycemoore.com/blog/learnin...

Losing Weight with AI I’ve posted off and on over the last year or so about my sporadic efforts to lose weight again. My good habits of yore had really slipped lately, and each vacation I took, I came home with an…

It turns out if you make the calorie counting easier, it's more likely to be successful, at least for me. brycemoore.com/blog/losing-...

A Trip to Eastport UMF has a Fall Break over Indigenous Peoples Weekend, and we took the opportunity to take the girls out to Eastport for a beach house vacation. We typically try to get to the beach a day or two eac…

When Have You “Arrived” as an Author? I’ve been writing every day now for more than twenty years. And in that span of time, I’ve constantly found myself setting lines in the sand that felt like they would prove that I had f…

What exactly do you have to do as a writer to finally feel like you've "made it"? brycemoore.com/blog/when-ha...

TV Series Review: The Expanse I started watching The Expanse a few years ago. I’d heard good things about it, and I enjoyed the first season a fair bit. However, midway through the second season, I started to get frustrat…

I gave The Expanse another shot, and I'm really glad I did. Great sci-fi show. brycemoore.com/blog/tv-seri...

A New (to me) Hymn: Jesus is the Way I haven’t posted all week since my brief post about feeling so down after the attack on the Latter-day Saint church last Sunday. I kept wanting to, but no matter what I thought about posting,…

This new (to me) hymn yesterday was just what I needed during General Conference. I just had to know more about it. Once I did, I thought you might like to know more about it too. brycemoore.com/blog/a-new-t...

Too Much Hate I don’t have much to say today in the wake of the shooting at the Latter-day Saint congregation in Michigan. It’s incredibly upsetting to have it at all, but to have it happen to member…

Incredibly discouraged today. Not really much to say beyond that. brycemoore.com/blog/too-muc...

Dealing with AI Slop I came across an article this morning that talked about how many people were suddenly having to deal with “AI Slop.” Essentially, this is the result of someone using AI to get a job don…

Friends don't let friends write AI slop and claim it as their own. They also don't send slop to friends and force them to read it. brycemoore.com/blog/dealing...

Staying Current with AI There was a time not too long ago when, once you learned how to do something, you could feel fairly confident you’d still know how to do it a few months later. I’m not talking about lea…

These days with technology, if you wait a few months (or at times, even a few weeks), you can feel out of date as soon as you try to do something again. brycemoore.com/blog/staying...

The Four Robert Redford Movies that Made Him One of My Favorite Actors I was sad to hear of Robert Redford’s passing yesterday. Growing up, he was one of my favorite actors, mainly because he starred in a few of my favorite movies. They’re films that still…

In honor of Robert Redford's passing, here are my top 4 Redford movies. All of them very worth rewatching, and definitely must-sees in my book, if you've missed out on them so far. brycemoore.com/blog/the-fou...

Towards Unity In the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination last week, I’ve been watching the dialogue on all sides of the political spectrum. And the more I watch, one thought has risen to the surface for…

If everything that happens in the world only serves to convince someone more that they are 100% right and others are 100% wrong, I hope they might come to understand at some point that they're part of the problem brycemoore.com/blog/towards...

Avoiding the Fool’s Choice in Today’s Political Environment A few months ago, I attended a two-day training on the book Crucial Conversations. It was a helpful look at the way we can approach difficult discussions in a way that’s constructive for all …

There's always middle ground. We should be encouraging that space to flourish, not trying to turn it into Flanders Fields. brycemoore.com/blog/avoidin...

How I Use AI as a Writer Generative AI is still a (very) hot button topic in the writing world. Most authors I’ve heard from seem to range from being quite averse to the technology to actively hating it with a fiery …

Some extensive thoughts from me today on how I actively use generative AI as a writer. As with most things in life, it can easily be explained with a clip from Singin in the Rain. brycemoore.com/blog/how-i-u...

Movie Review: The Lavender Hill Mob On Saturday evening, Daniela wanted to watch a movie and suggested an Audrey Hepburn film. I got to work poking around to see if there were Hepburn movies I hadn’t seen in a while. (She&#8217…

Daniela asked for an Audrey Hepburn movie and got an Alec Guinness one instead. (But Hepburn's in it for 10 seconds!) The Lavender Hill Mob continues to be a real treat. brycemoore.com/blog/movie-r...

A Surreal Photoshoot So, yesterday I had one of the more singular experiences I can remember. More surreal than anything else. I mean, at the heart of it, it was just another photoshoot session, so there really shouldn…

Yesterday I had a professional photo shoot for the upcoming Down East article on the Maine Cat Lab. You know. Just another totally normal day in the life of a cat researcher. I should get business cards . . . brycemoore.com/blog/a-surre...

AI App Developer, Extraordinaire I have always wanted to make an app for my iPhone. Not to the point that I actually wanted to sit down and take the time it would take to learn how to code in Swift, but the thought of creating som…

The media tracking app I've been working on in my spare time is finally up in the iOS app store! brycemoore.com/blog/ai-app-...

What is an “Elbow,” Anyway? I’m back in physical therapy. Again. This time, it’s to help correct a few issues that came up while I was at Disney. I’ve had a long standing issue with back pain, and my knee&#8…

You'd think I'd know exactly where my elbow is on my body. Apparently, you'd think wrong. brycemoore.com/blog/what-is...

Revisiting Tron In the wake of Disney World, my kids were interested enough in the Tron ride that they wanted to check out the Tron movie. It’s been a long time since I watched it, and I had no idea how some…

The 1982 Tron movie was, unfortunately, not nearly as incredible as I remembered . . . brycemoore.com/blog/revisit...

Home with Tomas and Daniela Denisa and Michaela have been gone to Young Women’s Camp since Tuesday, so it’s just been me at home with Tomas and Daniela. It’s been fun hanging out with them (when I’ve b…

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s easier to subsist on artificial food when you’re younger than when you’re older, though I might need to conduct further research in the future to confirm this. brycemoore.com/blog/home-wi...

An Overview of the New (to me) Disney World Rides Since it had been 9 years since I’d been to Disney, there were a number of new rides I’d never gone on before, and some that had been refreshed. I took the time to go on almost all of t…

Is the Disney Dining Plan Worth It? A hotly contested debate in the Disney online communities centers around the Disney Dining Plan and whether or not it’s worth it. The chatter is loud enough that I really questioned what the …

Disney Then vs. Now: Is the Magic Gone? It’s been almost 9 years since I last went to Disney World. Before then, I would go with my family about once every three years, and when I was growing up, we sometimes went twice a year. I r…

Movie Review: Superman (2025) Would you look at that?! I made it to a movie for opening weekend? It’s true. And to commemorate the occasion, I’m writing a review right away. Heading into it, I wasn’t entirely …
