Happy Birthday to Alonzo Church. Born on June 14, 1903, Church helped establish the mathematical foundations of computer science through his work on lambda calculus, computability, and the Church–Turing thesis. His ideas continue to influence programming languages, algorithms, and our understanding of what computers can and cannot do.

Building Blocks

A day of Reckoning has arrived.

After six months I have officially reached a small goal in my AI journey. Today I locked in ten tracks to complete my upcoming album. I have decided to quit trying to improve them and now have a base for what I want to accomplish going forward.

Moving them into my DAW as musical stems I can use them to arrange my own midi’s & VSTs into songs loosely based on what Suno Pro has from my prompts. If you’re not familiar, I learned about writing prompts for my AI images a couple of years ago and still am learning new ways to improve them.

I write long prompts to reach my goal in my images and have adapted that into writing want I hear in my head. I am still wet behind the ears so to speak on how to use my DAW properly and have a lot of learning ahead of me but will try my damndest to figure it out and move forward.

The songs in Peaceful Grooves are what I would call fillers, good to me but not quite good enough. Some need more work or re-mixed but they are major building blocks to achieve my final goal.

I leave you on this Fantastic Friday with a song not AI generated, Happy Weekend my friends.

I found this after posting and wanted to share it with you so am adding it to this post late.

Happy Birthday, Whitfield Diffie! Diffie received the 2015 #ACMTuringAward for inventing and promulgating both asymmetric public-key cryptography, including its application to digital signatures, and a practical cryptographic key-exchange method.

Diffie says the counterculture of the 1960’s inspired his interest in cryptography. Watch him explain: https://youtu.be/d820zuDbYIg

Musical Interlude: Dickey Chappelle is a person we need a movie about. A photojournalist and war correspondent, she blazed trails for other women and was noted for her fearlessness in combat situations. She was famous for her uniform of fatigues, harlequin glasses, and pearl earrings, and won the respect of the Marines she was with. She was sadly killed by a land mine in Vietnam, and was given a full Marine funeral. And in recent years, she was named an honorary Marine. I learned of her from this song by Nanci Griffith.

"Pearl's Eye View (The Life of Dickey Chappelle)," performed by Nanci Griffith.
