Mostly things that linger long enough while crossing my mind for me to record a few thoughts. Probably nothing earth shaking but who knows what shakes your world. Any similarity to reality is purely coincidental.
Welcome
Glad to have you here but remember, you could be spending your time more wisely. Family, friends, maybe even your job if you are really pushed for something to do. David also writes the Building Our Home Blog as well as the wildly popular Dave’s Mindscape

Artificial Intelligence or Sentience
Just a Quick One – Blog 3.5 #MAD405
Dropbox sent me an email.
It said “Come back to Dropbox!”
I didn’t think I even registered on the software’s radar. Other than its daily insistence (for 2 months) that I was 50 Gigs over my 2 Gig allotment (and in spite of the fact that I had less than 1 Meg stored) we rarely communicated.
Who knows what machines want?
Sure I dropped by from time to time for a quick download and it was pretty much one sided.
Not only is Dropbox aware, it is emotional. (It is not alone. Word keeps trying to correct my grammar (and spelling)).
“-Dropbox has been feeling lonely recently :-( “, it said.
Needy machine.
Maybe I shouldn’t call it “it”.
Is this the vanguard, the first salvo fired in the apocalypse? Man vs. Machine.
The rise of Skynet?
Can we avoid Armageddon?
Maybe I should write.
More Apocalypse
