Writerken.com is restored. I learned yesterday that some readers logging on to my website were able to land on my home page but could not access any posts from there. I alerted the tech guys at KC Web Specialists, and they soon had things back in order. So, for those […]
Scientific American‘s presidential endorsement disappointed me. As a person gritting my teeth about the upcoming election, I had hopes of finding some logical and reasonable arguments in this “scientific” article. You’ve probably heard about the endorsement, or maybe you’ve even have read it. It appeared a few days ago, accompanied […]
Just a brief note to inform you of my recent interview by another blogger, Nancy Julien Kopp, a remarkably productive writer who has been in the blogging game since 2009. Since that time, Nancy had posted (amazingly!) thousands of essays on her website. She calls her site Writer Granny’s […]

Here are two odes to the heart written by that rapidly emerging poet (and soon to be anointed Poet Laureate of the World), Artificial Intelligence, or, as it prefers to be known by its common designation, AI. Each ode, AI might tell you modestly, was composed in a flash and […]
How can smart people think differently from me? How do they develop opinions so contrary to mine? If they’re so smart, I reason, why don’t they see the light? It’s a well-worn riddle. Well, thanks to a stroke of serendipity, I’ve come to see clearly how conflicting views may be […]
