I started to use it just to see what it could do. It's impressive at first, but most stories follow the same formula, unless you ask it "What happens next?" Or unless you give it specific plot points you'd like to see. That's where it becomes addicting; it can create a series of stories just for...
And… I’ve got to admit I went back to Google Gemini after writing yesterday's post. :/ Having something write a story almost exactly to your tastes within seconds is addicting. Sorry for my failure & potential hypocrisy.
It is cool technology, tho I fear it. It’s too fast. It can write better...
Not sure about where to put this, but I think it could generate discussion, so here it goes:
For the past few months, maybe a year or so, there's been a lot of hand-wringing online about AI generated stories & the like. But such programs aren't exactly new. Here's a brief history of them, from...
Dragnet might be on the pathway out of our collective conscious. The 50's version hasn't been re-aired in decades, & the 60's version has disappeared from the airwaves in the past few years. (The 60's version has lot of episodes where Jack Webb debates with hippies, usually about illegal drugs...
This weekend I found a box for a game called "Chekoes." Sadly, the box was empty, so I didn't buy it. I'm having trouble finding more information on the game; it's a checkers variant with scoring, based on either moves or captures. The only reference I've found online is this old ad someone's...
The first season is the first 52 episodes; the end of the Indigo Saga & the Orange Islands are, officially, the 2nd season. (Source: Understanding "Seasons" of the Pokémon TV Show)
Annoying, but that's how it was packaged for syndication, so that's how most DVD sets get packaged too.
I was...
Here's to the only streaming service I use semi-regularly, not counting YouTube. I'll miss you, Pokémon TV.
Maybe I can just aim a camera at my TV screen & copy my old tapes to my computer?
If memory serves, yes.
Here, from Wikipedia:
"In 1974, a highly fictionalized animated television special titled Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus, aired on ABC. It was animated by Bill Melendez and won the 1975 Emmy Award for outstanding children's special"...
Atari didn’t cause the market to crash; a crash follows every new market.
The NES didn’t save video games; gamers had moved onto computers. The NES made it ok to think of video games as kids’ toys.
It’s ok to call the main character of Pokémon Red “Ash;” most of the marketing material of the...
A few of those were dubbed for “Pokemon Insider,” a promo video which was released around the same time as “Pokemon: The Movie 3.” Same video also had a few clips from “Pokemon Live.”
That... actually brings up something. Usually, the US Copyright Office doesn’t consider a website published unless you specifically say folks can download/save content.
Does that mean shows exclusively on streaming services are never, legally, published?
(I’m not a lawyer; this is not legal...
The Brave Little Toaster got two sequels, so it did inspire further investment.
The Mouse & His Child was part of Sanrio's big push to enter the U.S. market during the mid-70's. When their first film, Metamorphosis bombed, they pulled out. I think they released Mouse into a few theaters, but...
Draw a line, horizontal, across the page. This is the horizon.
Draw a series of lines radiating from the center of the first line. You should now have a series of triangles; this is how perspective works. The closer an object is to the horizon, the smaller the object gets.
Have any example...
I like the Pokemon episode “Friend sand Foe Alike,” where Ash looses to Ritchie. Even made a page defending it: https://websitering.neocities.org/pkmn/league.htm

Late 80’s. They tried to market OVAs by mail order to the US. To do so, they contacted the head of an anime club & asked him to talk up their programs. That didn’t work; importing tapes was too expensive, & their OVAs weren’t that...
There are almost always alternate versions of logos, posters, titles, etc, which are never used. Very rarely they're shown to the public, like E.T. & Me or Revenge of the Jedi.
So, yeah, there are unused Sony logos. Some are probably just rough sketches; others are complete or nearly complete...
Before they went off air, but after they stopped showing a proper block, my local UPN affiliate would license one show, show all the episodes a few times, then they’d license another show. They’d do this on Sundays; I guess to avoid competition.
Digital sub-networks used to do that too...
