The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Here's an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 5,100 times in 2014. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 4 trips to carry that many people.
The real winter came on Christmas Day. This photo I took early in the morning when I came home from work. The cat looked around in wonder. The world was white. That’s when it becomes most beautiful. First snow, then cold, the snow forming ice crystals in trees and bushes and Sea smoke above the lake.
I worked 6 nights of 7 during the Christmas week but I was happy that I met my daughter. She came for lunch at Christmas Eve and after, we went to look at her new and beautiful apartment. But I did not stay longer as I needed to sleep before work. Working 5 nights in a row is quite heavy.. I feel like a zombie today but i don’t complain, I am grateful for having the opportunity to work those days.
Tomorrow I hope I can take a photowalk and capture the magic of a white white frozen world.
An image I created for this day.
Merry Christmas!
I wish you All a Great Christmas.
Take care out there.
Love
Second fugue From Emily Howell’s From Darkness, Light for two pianos.
“She” can write an infinite amount of new music all day for free, and a blind test showed that people couldn’t tell the difference between her work and the work of human composers. Crazy, right?” (Brad Merrill)
Emily Howell is a computer program created by professor of music David Cope. Emily Howell is an interactive interface that “hears” feedback from listeners, and builds its own musical compositions from a source database, derived from a previous composing program called Experiments in Musical Intelligence (EMI) (from Wikipedia)
An interesting blog by Brad Merrill about Artificial Creativity.
It’s Happening: Robots May Be The Creative Artists Of The Future
It’s no secret that the world is being automated and that millions of people are losing work as a result. With a properly programmed machine, any unskilled laborer can be replaced.
Factory workers, cashiers, drivers — these are all employees at risk of losing their jobs to more efficient workers with silicon chips and no desire for a paycheck. Even some white collar professionals should be worried.
But creative people are safe, aren’t they? No machine or piece of software can emulate the passion of an artist, right?
Wrong, sort of. Human creativity is important, but — sorry guys — the robots are coming for you too.
Through Thick and Thin: Helping Each Other. ❤
The weather is far from Christmas weather. There’s not a flake of snow on the ground. It is above zero.
Today the sun shines by its absence. The picture was taken a week ago.
Soon it’s a New Year.
