CanLit to get you in the mood for winter.
The Wild Heavens was a meditative exploration of the course of a relationship. It is not a fast-paced hunt for a yeti-like animal. Its forte is its description of the natural world, particularly that of the interior rainforest of British Columbia.

Sourdough panettone? Yes, please!
Here is my take on this seasonal treat. If you've never had panettone, it's a cross between bread and cake and is lightly flavored with citrus and dried fruit.

Having an AI bubble meltdown this morning after the radio declared that the NVIDIA earnings report proved there wasn't a bubble.
I'm not in finance, but to me, super-high NVIDIA earnings proves there's a bubble. The bubble is because AI companies are overspending on chips without the need/profits.
