Do the Germans have a word for breaking up your rep count so you trick your brain into "just a couple more?" For example, I'm doing 30 bent over rows and going "1 2 3 4 5 6 6 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 30."

Pretty sure we all agree that we'd throw this guy into a ravine and hurl boulders on top nowadays, just to be sure.

Johnny 5 (originally called "S-A-I-N-T Prototype Number 5") is the fictional robotic star of the movies Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2 and a TV special called Hot Cars, Cold Facts. He is a former military robot imbued with intelligence and sentience by a lightning bolt and is considered to be alive in the philosophical sense, as he has emotions and is self-aware. He is both puppeteered and voiced by Tim Blaney.

Griff, you need to be better at sharing.

Two small dogs in the same bed, a senior chihuahua mix (Kirby) is crammed all the way to the left on the rim with his butt hanging off while the larger chihuahua mix (Griff) is taking up the entirety of the "bed" portion. The latter is looking up at the camera.

Bought a new, inexpensive Casio watch on a whim and I have no idea if the face is as small as I think it is or if I'm just so used to how large we've let watch faces become.

Love the Sam Hadley art on the case for THE LAST BOY SCOUT; wish they'd gone with that for the slip sleeve.

When the intro of an article is basically a dude's resume.

Technical audits, title tags, link building, and indexing can all go sideways when AI applies SEO best practices without enough context.

Depending on who you listen to, AI is either the end of SEO or its savior. Having done SEO professionally since I was on the team that built Walgreens.com in 2000, I think both are hyperbole.

The truth is that AI can help SEOs do things we’ve never been able to do before — and do them quickly — while also completely derailing our SEO if it’s left unattended. I have many examples of both. But first, I want to focus on 10 times Claude went off the rails and I had to catch it before it could make things worse.

For context, I’ve been using AI professionally since ChatGPT came out, including in my work as a senior SEO at Intuit QuickBooks.

This year, I’ve been digging deeper into how Claude handles SEO, using it for a 41-site audit and guide for the Chicago Independent Venue League (CIVL), and while vibe coding my own AI stylist app, Dressed. Since I can’t share client examples, I’ll use examples from CIVL and Dressed here.

What a movie. It's streaming on Criterion right now

Starts off as a fairly faithful adaptation of the excellent Inspector Imanishi Investigates, a procedural crime novel involving the death of an anonymous middle-aged man whose body is found in a train yard. Through the first two-thirds of the film, we follow the investigation as it works its way through fits and starts, complete with seeming dead ends, but once they discover who is responsible for the murder, an entirely new movie kicks in. It's rich, emotional, and very satisfying. An excellent example of taking source material and making something truly cinematic. This demands a high quality boutique release.

Yup, that Whole Bloody Affair cut is a dang hoot.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is a 2004 American martial arts film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It combines the films Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004), which were conceived and produced as a single film, but split in two. Uma Thurman stars as the Bride, who swears revenge on a group of assassins after they try to kill her and her unborn child.

"The problem, Left Eye, is that if you say you 'don't want no scrubs,' that means you actually want all the scrubs. That's how double negatives work!" - me, the day I was fired from the TLC songwriting team

"Okay, Barry. You've done the final design of the new Aston Martin Valhalla. We love it. Brilliant lines. We do have one question, though." "What's that, Harold?" "Did you know what the reflections of the gull-wing doors were going to be do?" "Of course! That's why you hired Barry Penis-Smythe, no?"
