I heard about this website on the radio… You can tell it to write a song in any style of music and it generates a radio-quality song in about 5-10 seconds. You can also put in your own lyrics. Here are some songs I made –

Splash pads: Scottsdale Quarter vs Desert Ridge

August 28th, 2022

Our kids love going to the splash pads at Scottsdale Quarter and Desert Ridge. Scottsdale Quarter has a larger splash pad, but less seating around it. There are more places to eat at nearby at Desert Ridge. The parking garage at Scottsdale Quarter is a little stressful, and reminds me of parking at the airport.




NFT’s: an opportunity for artists

April 23rd, 2021

If you are an artist, especially a creative professional, I recommend spending some time Googling “Non-Fungible Tokens”. This is a new way to sell your artwork (or other creation, music, 3D model, etc) as a collectible type of asset in an auction, or for a set price. Even if your artwork isn’t in a digital format, it’s possible to sell it as an NFT, even real estate, deeds, titles can be sold as NFTs. Some of the websites that help with this are “foundation”, “zora” and “open sea”. There are digital wallets that assist with the process such as “meta mask”. One of the most exciting elements of NFTs to me, are the potential to earn royalties for each transaction that takes place in the future, indefinitely! For example, a 1% commission, or 20% commission, it’s up to you! It’s all based on the block chain. Ethereum is the main one supporting NFTs currently, but there are many more coming. Soon the Theta network will support it too.
