Old Thoughts On AI
I have refrained for the most part from writing about the recent explosion in Artificial Intelligence, or AI. The technological advances are too swift, and I think a book-length dissertation would be more helpful. Or i could just ask a chatbot to write it for me. Looking at items to re-post as I take a […]
Vacation Time?
While the rest of the world seems to be paused, in some ways I am busier than ever. Which has me daydreaming about getting away from it all. Remember when we could travel to places we wanted to visit? It seems like forever ago, not earlier this year. Back in January I didn’t own a […]
View From The Top
I realized yesterday when I republished my post on The Atomium that I hadn’t shown the view from inside the structure. I remember in 2014 thinking I should do that, and thinking also it didn’t make much sense because I didn’t know what any of the buildings in the pictures were. That’s because I rarely […]
Atomium (Revisited)
Today seems like a good day for revisiting an older post. For some reason, when this was first published in 2014, I only included one picture with the post. I have no idea what I was thinking of – but I was new at this blogging thing and I’ve always been more of a words […]
Out Of Control – Revisited
Back in the early days of this blog I did a post about an art exhibit at the Atomium in Brussels. I had been quite impressed and thought others would be too. Yesterday I was looking at the pictures and thinking that perhaps I should share that post again since most of the people who […]
The Atomium
Thinking ahead to summer. Thought I would share this post again, one of the highlights of our 2014 European trip. I had seen it in the distance when I visited Brussels briefly in 2009. The building fascinated me, but with only a few hours to sightsee I concentrated on the downtown core, not having the […]
Out Of Control
Artificial intelligence was very much at the forefront of my consciousness when we visited The Atomium in Brussels. For the past couple of years they have had a digital art display as part of the museum, and for 2014 the special exhibit was titled Out of Control. It’s a look at a battle between a […]
How to see Europe in Two Hours
I will admit I went under protest. I couldn’t see the point of spending good money to see scale models of European landmarks. But my wife was insistent, and because we were also going to the Atomium, which is right next door in suburban Brussels, we got a couple of Euros off the admission price […]
The Atomium
I had seen it in the distance when I visited Brussels briefly in 2009. The building fascinated me, but with only a few hours to sightsee I concentrated on the downtown core, not having the time to figure out public transit. This time it was a priority.Built as the centrepiece of the 1958 World’s Fair, […]
