I’m sitting here on a Tuesday night at my desk at work, trying to decide on what to write. I peruse through a catalog of topics stuck in my head, and nothing piques my interest. kAmx D:89 :?H2C5=J] x >:DD 4=62C ?:89ED]k^Am kAmw6C6[ :? t?:5[ :E D66>D =:<6 :E 92D 366? 6?5=6DD=J 4=@F5J 2?5 C2:?J ]]] 2E =62DE 7@C E96 A2DE H66< 2?5 2 92=7 @C D@] xE D66>D =:<6 E9:D 4=@F5 4@?F?5CF> 3682?

It’s meteor shower time!It feels like it’s been a while, hasn’t it? It seems like there’s always a lull during the winter, although it seems I do see a good random meteor or two. kAm~FC =2DE >2;@C >6E6@C D9@H6C H2D E96 "F25C2?E:5D[ @7 H9:49 x D2H 2 76H] qFE ?@H DAC:?8 :D :? 7F== DH:?8[ 2?5 :E’D E:>6 E@ 86E 6I4:E65 23@FE E96 {JC:5D]k^Am kAm(92E’D 8C62E 23@FE E96 {JC:5 |6E6@C $9@H6C E9:D J62C :D E96 4@?5:E:@?D 2C6 A6C764E 7@C 2 8@@5 D9@H]k^AmkAm%96 7:CDE 4@?5:E:@?

Sometimes my columns are in-depth, sometimes simpler. This is the latter of the two. If you go out late at night, you will see a pretty neat alignment of three objects almost straight overhead. kAm%96 =67E>@DE @7 E96 E9C66 :D E96 A=2?6E |2CD] x HC@E6 :? 2 AC6G:@FD 4@=F>? 23@FE 9@H |2CD :D >@C6 A:?< E92?

It’s the most beautiful photograph you’ve ever seen.

It’s the most beautiful photograph you’ve ever seen. Reds, greens, blues, yellows, pinks — every color of the rainbow and in between — forming a luminous curtain amid a backdrop of hundreds of stars. The northern lights are always a breathtaking sight — and that notion has never been more pronounced than with this photo. The only problem? It’s fake. It’s the year 2025, and artificial intelligence is being used more and more. That’s for better or, in this case, for worse.
