But then on top of that you add the expensive cost of the headset, the battery issue, the limited mobility, not being able to go to c0rn sites without Meta being all up in my b'ness, etc. etc. etc.

There is like, zero upside to this thing. None. Zilch.

At least the smartphone was easy to adopt en masse cause it combined a music player, mini browser, portability, GPS, game machine and all in a nice portable package that, at worst, just takes up more space in your pants pocket.

But if they can ever invent hardware that doesn't sit on one's head or rest on top of your ears (which also chafes on a hot day), then this thing could really start to get some traction cause much of the friction (figuratively speaking) would be removed. Meta glasses are a step in the right direction but they're not very immersive.

In other words, I try to learn from it whenever it does something I can't do but when it does something I can do or something I'm really good at it I find myself wanting to correct it cause it doesn't do it that well.

It just seems like a really quick thinking and fast executing but, ultimately, mid skilled / novice person.

But I guess if I go by what you’re saying I suppose it makes sense for it not to do a bunch of things you didn’t ask it to do.

I'm kinda tempted to give it to my neighbor's son though. He knows about all this stuff and loves it. He'd appreciate it more. He’d also love my Roland D-50. He also comes by the garage to help out with stuff. Like the son I never had.

My daughter, though, does not appreciate this tech stuff whatsoever. Calls my gear room the ‘junk room’ .

One could make a bunch of random noises with a guitar that are hard to reproduce but the music could be shit.

It’s like prog rock. By and large, hot chicks are interested in bands like Motley Crue and Bon Jovi.

But prog rock never got chicks wet. It was always music by nerds for other nerds.

I think a realistic movie about hacking would be the same. By and large.

Me also: yah RISC is good!

Thank you for everything you've done for us.

There’s no creativity in it.

To wit, I’ve bought some kits for my nephew cause his mom asked for them for Christmas, he assembles them while we are still unwrapping gifts, then never or hardly ever goes back and touches them again. They just stay built and untouched on a shelf. Like a model kit.

I remember 20-30 years ago when you’d just get a bucket containing an assortment of pieces and if you were inclined to build a house then you’d have to get creative with the pieces that you had.

The fun part was playing with a friend, agreeing to build a house but having too wildly different designs. Then learning from the experience and tearing it down and building it again but bigger and better.

Oh that and that the dog will miss me. But as we all know they don't live for long.
