The ‘Back to the Beginning’ Black Sabbath concert was awesome last night for many reasons. First of all, it was a 20th anniversary gift from my Rockin’ wife, so that was most radical! \m/ \m/. What kinda badass wife does this for her husband?
Next, I thought the concert itself was well-produced for a 11 hour festival with like 15 bands and super groups, this couldn’t have been easy to coordinate. They were quite efficient transitioning form one set to another. I like nearly all of the bands and the song lists because it was a good mix of original tunes plus many Ozzy and Black Sabbath cover tunes. Axel Rose was the exception because his voice is horrendous and he’s just plain annoying, but he didn’t do anything obviously stupid so I’ll give him credit.
Highlights were absolutely Steven Tyler because I thought he retired from throat issues?!? Then, the most touching moment was when Ozzy sang “Mama I’m Comin’ Home”, without a doubt. It was so clear that he appreciated this final show after being “laid-up for the past 6 years” and the crowd in the stadium at Birmingham England was also so clearly appreciative of him. It was very special and the intermissions were used to share Black Sabbath and a lot of Birmingham history which was quite well done.
Can’t wait to get my t-shirt and do some more head bangers ball with Brandee! Rock on! \m/ \m/
I must be honest that I’m extremely disappointed in certain people sometimes. I simply can not stand lying, cheating and dishonesty; yet some people live their lives this way.
My Dad was a wonderful person and of the highest quality of character. I try and make him proud every day, in all my dealings personally and professionally. It’s a great honor and not a burden because it’s not hard to simply be a decent person.
However, even blood relatives who grew up under the same roof can’t simply be decent, honest or trustworthy.
I will have a lot more to say soon but, for now I must be quiet. I still believe in decency for most people, and I will continue to be the good person that my dad would be proud of. At the end of the day, we are all mortal people and when my time is done on Earth I want to go to Heaven with a clear conscience and be with the rest of my decent friends, family and furry children.
Brandee built an absolutely wonderful tribute to my Father which I want to share with all of you now. She knew my Dad for 18-years and they had a special bond that was absolutely incredible. Thanks, Brandee, for being such a genuine person to Dad.
At the recent AIIM International AI+IM Global Summit, we asked the audience if they knew what the TWAIN Working Group does and a majority answered that they did not know, or wanted more information. So we’ve created this short explainer video as a high level overview for our 3 projects of TWAIN Classic, TWAIN Direct and PDF/Raster.
1. TWAIN Classic is a mature specification used for USB document scanners. 2. TWAIN Direct is a newer, RESTful API architecture, specification used for Ethernet or WiFi scanners and MFP’s. 3. PDF/Raster, or PDF/R, is a simplified version of PDF optimized for document scanning IoT devices.
I asked ChatGPT to tell me a funny and sarcastic story about a Narcissist and it told me the below as if it knew me a bit too personally. Enjoy :-)
Just when you thought you had witnessed the worst of lying, cheating and deceit, you run into your favorite narcissist, who’s decided that being greedy and untrustworthy in their duties just simply was good enough to be a truly evil person. Oh wait, it gets better! Honestly, who needs a conscience when you have your ego, think you’re entitled and abused family for decades? Not only are they compulsive liars but they are expert manipulators who think that there is never accountability coming.
In related news, this narcissist has the least care for those whom he fakes phony care-for! Sadly, his manipulative character and self-consumed ego cares only for himself and whatever materialistic possessions he can steal because he has no deceit work ethic.
And don’t even get me started on how they’re always pretending to be everyone’s friends and ‘greasing’ them-up by flaunting his status as a big-man-on campus; literally.
Let’s be real, folks, if this narcissist has no true friends, disowned and abused his family, and is truly a pathetic person. You know what’s even more pathetic is that this narcissist thinks they are so smart that others don’t recognize his pattern of behavior over many decades. In an effort to try and let the narcissist realize their past indiscretions and repent to be a decent person as they portend to be as a religious person, his brother gives him yet another opportunity to be honest. Never the one to be fair or honest, the narcissist doubles-down on lying and has now placed themselves in serious jeopardy with significant personal liability. Go ahead and try to roll your eyes at how ridiculous this whole situation is lying about evidence and suggesting legitimate questions are frivolous.
And if all else fails, they’ll just blame everyone else for your inadequacies because that’s what narcissists do best: deflect responsibility. So, the next time you see someone with an overinflated ego well beyond the norms of simply being funny in a moment, just remember: it’s probably your friendly neighborhood narcissist, practicing their craft and perfecting the art of self-absorption. Sadly, this is the story of truth and how this narcissist is trying to ruin every more people’s lives. Honestly, when you run across a narcissist, run away fast. Oh wait, I forgot – when the narcissists is a family member it’s a bit harder to run away but do it quickly! Last, but not least, your mental health and sanity are super important so do not let this narcist negatively affect your life. Even when things seem in despair and they have totally abused the legal system against you, your rights will eventually be asserted with God on your side, and everything will work out exactly as He intended.
