Streets Of The Blade Runners
Fog blanketed the city like a shroud, the cold mist clinging to everything in sight. The rain had long since stopped, but the streets were still slick with moisture, reflecting the neon lights of Blade Runner. The city that never slept was even quieter tonight, a fitting atmosphere for Malcolm Hammer’s line of work. He sat in the dim light of his cluttered office, the scent of stale cigarettes and old books filling the air. His desk was covered in files, each one a testament to the mysteries he’d solved over the years. But today, something different awaited him. A single letter, addressed in a feminine handwriting, lay atop the pile. As Malcolm Hammer, Private Eye, reached for the letter, he knew his life was about to change.

V (Mini-Series)
I remember sitting in grandma's living room in 1983, watching the premier of V, which was a two-night mega sci-fi "special event." I was probably all of seven, so the film had an extra special appeal to me. The special effects, state of the art for the era, were awesome, ominous, and frightening. But it was the characterizations of both humans and aliens in V, and the eternal questioning of what is good, noble, human, and true, that underscored the allegory at the heart of the entertainment.

A.I. Plagiarized Me Criticizing It
In December 2023, I published an article on Vocal, Medium, and my own website entitled How Many Australian Minutes is 15 American Minutes?. As a quick summary, I had asked that exact question to so-called artificial intelligence (A.I.) interactive chat engines Microsoft Copilot and Google Bard (since renamed Gemini). Without prompting or priming, each decided that there was a difference and they needed to do a conversion, resulting in answers ranging from 3.75 to 30.25 minutes.
