Biotech investor set to lead US National Science Foundation If confirmed by the US Senate, Jim O'Neill would be the first non-scientist or engineer to lead the agency, a big funder of US basic research.

Neither a scientist nor an engineer. Just another ineptotist, who will be way in over his head.

I very much want to tell you about how I failed the Novella problem… short version: my croissant really needs to be a Mille feuille. Alas.

The catch of the day was mighty; bakes and plantains, sadly, involve me playing Russian roulette with my dead pancreas. So, mmmm, not every choice is a choice. But I am halfway through my jar of Bajan spice already.

Is this a delightful subscription service? With competitive rates, until market forces cause a restructuring, whereby I can bundle my NoGregContact with others?

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

So when Obama's list of favorite books of the year is more than double the total number of books I managed to read this year, I am doing something wrong, yes? (Yes.) *Sigh*

We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones. What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.

Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.
