This is CogDogBlogged: "Chasing Raildog: The rabbit hole path to the anti-algorithmic edge of the internetz"

“Raildog is the Ansr” but the question is how the heck did I end up following a curiosity trail where logic and the dull stasticical parroting of GenAI leaves a mind wanting?

I blame / credit Jim Groom. He posted today of his pleasure in the saner mode of travel.

This is CogDogBlogged: "Web Serendipity Machines"

Who would not answer “yes” when asked if they would like a dose of serendipity. A word that conjures a bit of magic. A rather well worn tag around here.

So I am coming back again to relish in my own weird obsession, not saving vats of time asking LLMs to do my tasks but worse, spraying that time with my web flashlight down public domain rabbit holes.

I admit my weirdness. As a kid (and still one) I love math. I loved doing long division. I loved when my 10th grade whacky Chemistry teacher Bloom Friedmen taught us all about dimensional analysis for unit conversions all it is is multiplying stuff by one.

There goes a tangent again.

But math and this old book as a kid got swept up in another one of my link adventures on the web […]

This is CogDogBlogged: "Chasing Down the Ghost Internet Tracks of Scottlo’s SRBs"

Apparently writers with orders of magnitude more readers than I are penning saga length whinging rage posts about how terrible technology is. Oh they keep moving the buttons on me! Teams Sucks. Google Search is junk. Technology is terrible.

I don’t counter the disgust of bad software interfaces (oh reminds me I have a post to do about the interface of my air fryer, I digress). But I find […]
