I Love Hue
The coloured tile puzzle game 'I Love Hue' is beautiful and truly a joy to love. I've now done 900 puzzle layouts, with 55 to go.
Then there is Duolingo - oh wow, I'm in! Working my way through one language now and it is so good.

What mathematics will teach you
The nature of answers:
I don't know is an answer, and so is I DON'T CARE.
Sometimes I have said I don't care as "it doesn't matter" which I suppose is more advanced statement, but could also sound like oh shut up it doesn't matter so instead of saying that I just probably might say nothing because I don't really mean shut up, I just mean, do you think this matters, because so far my sense of the thing is that it might be of little consequence but what do you think.
I don't know is a good answer. It can be qualified, analyzed too, and thus yield a lot of information.
We don't care, I don't care, it doesn't matter, is often a good answer too, and I'm thinking now of Dr. Kim teaching us "don't care variables" in Digital Systems (Electrical Engineering) at Howard University. But how do you say that to a person who doesn't interpret it that way, who doesn't translate technical language? If they're, like, artistic, you might go with, oooh yeah, there are lotsa options! That would probably be right. Say, I agree. Then go into more possibilities. By the way, many artists develop the same sort of compact language as they get more technical or more advanced, so it all depends on how "old" they are, in this learning direction?
Now if they're also not artistic, do you say something like "fantastic!" and run away? Yes? No? Sometimes? I mean, that does lead to problems lol. If it's not fantastic, you say fantastic. If it is fantastic and you therefore want to look closer you don't say fantastic you ask more questions. If you record the tally then the least fantastic get the highest fantastic rating and the most promising are dead.

Self-serving Selfless Service
That is confusing! Maybe YOU can wrap your head around the possibility and even explain in the comments: how does the service benefit the one who serves?
In other news, ahhh, music. Currently playing the newest Yemi Alade album for the first time, and she always delivers. She is really super-good at her job, embodying and performing, making a success of productifying, the whole Mama Africa thing. "Rebel Queen" is the album name, which in fact captures the mood with some women these days, this year, I think.
I got rhythm, I got music, ...I am happy. You know what else is wonderful? All the usual - food, the weather, finding nice games online for my phone/tablet, appreciating that the decades-old OLPC dream (One Laptop Per Child - and the $100 dollar laptop) is as of 2024/2025 practically a reality.
I'll be back soon ;-)

Groggy
It's 7:30ish in the morning, I've been awake since around midnight. Now I feel like I'm the sleepiest I've ever been. It was a wonderful night - it rained throughout and I got all my thinking done, lying in bed in the dark (or what 21st century people call dark which is not altogether dark, many-a-time.) I got all that thinking done (about what - you ask - mostly domestic matters, i.e. my self and people close to me, real and imagined family, stuff like that.) I laughed a few times, it was that productive.
Back soon.

The best rice
Like a white T-shirt, like a skeleton, the best rice is like a vehicle bearing gifts or at least bearing passengers.
Advertisement: Read my books.
It's Easter, and I'm feeling blessed to eat rice that has activities going on in every bite. Even just chunky onions are delight enough.
Jesus taught us to pray: "Give us this day our daily bread" rice, garri, and so on. The right garri stands alone very well, in my opinion. Don't put too many clothes on garri. Or maybe do - milk, sugar, groundnut, ...

Getting to know everybody
Studying personalities can be super-addictive. Well, studying studies of personalities, for example: MBTI, at 16personalities.com or with comedian-vlogger Frank James.
What's your type / what does that mean to you?
My latest test result (from last night) is INFP-A.
My most frequent test result over the years is INTP.

Cohort
At this rate, when I finally have children, they'll have to call me grandma - abi? See gray hair everywhere :-)
In other news, grandma died, like one year ago. To me she was still young, because Elizah-London lived to ninety-six so I thought twelve more years was doable, easily; also her own mother had just recently died at well over 100. Next-level :-)

| Verdant Plain, mountain (also named Flooy Lily Wura) created in dream.ai |
Background: It would take too long to explain, so like a good writer I'll just not? Just kidding.
I had this brand new idea to (some day, use markers/crayons or paint to try to and learn to or lead people to) create illustrations that compose and represent astrological information using this scheme - The Signs As Forces Of Nature. I've been drawing/painting/conjuring several in my mind since yesterday.
This very special picture is my first that I can physically-pictorially post/share, and I didn't have to wait to create her because I asked a computer to do it, in a flash. It represents a person who is Libra primarily, with abundant earth and water features as well, so I thought of beautiful and lush plains and maybe a patch of mountain, and then I wrote "Verdant Plain, mountain" in dream.AI and in about zero time I had this picture, which I love.
It is good to remember that there are a jabazillion real pictures already (examples: beautiful and lush plains and maybe a patch of mountain) that are a gazillion times better, technically. But I'm amazed by and in love with this AI-generated one as well.

My Gazpacho Bar
Do you have access to joyously fresh tomatoes?
Do you love tomato juice too? (And can never seem to find it when you crave it?)
Gazpacho is such an intriguing word actually. Good food that anybody can make - no cooking involved.
