Orson Welles has a new gig — despite being dead since 1985 — thanks to AI.

His voice has been digitally re-created "using licensed audio from his estate."

Which reminds me of something the real Welles once said: "I hate almost everything in the modern world.”

Watching "Mayor of Kingstown" and I can't deny it's relatable.

Mike is a veteran of his industry. He knows all the rules and has seen how they get broken.

He's highly valued and is often hired for his unique experience, yet his advice is consistently ignored, despite constantly being proven right.

I'm not saying I expected the movie "Y2K" (2024) to be rigorously accurate, but it was fun to spot this goof of Ubuntu Linux in 2000.

It's nearly the 10 year anniversary of me finding this extraordinary property listing (which Rightmove eventually featured on their blog, but their bitly link has broken). You can still look at the pictures by clicking in the usual way. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/4...

For months (years?) I've been convinced that the HTML textarea element supported the <C-t> keychord to swap the two characters at the cursor, and I've been disappointed lately that it's no longer working.
