Welcome to season 4! On this episode of Technology Time Machine we see how ChatGPT responds to writing poems using Shakespeare's "Sonnet" form of writing. I read through five original poems written by AI and five more on the next episode! This one was a lot of fun to produce! Thanks ChatGPT for lending a hand!
Born in 1564, William Shakespeare is one of the greatest poets in English literature. His plays have been staged and adapted countless times over the centuries and across the globe.
Although better known as a playwright, Shakespeare pioneered the sonnet form in English.
This accomplishment alone sets him among the best poets in the world.
NOTE: Due to character limitations, I was unable to provide the text format of these poems. Sorry!

Welcome to season 4! Oh weather, our Fickle friend. Let's soak ourselves with some knowledge on how meteorologists attempt to predict Mother Nature on this episode of Technology Time Machine.
Intro Poem: Weather, oh weather, you truly have a mind of your own. You dance through the skies, whimsical and free, defying our attempts to predict and control you. Like a mischievous trickster, you tease us with sun-kissed mornings that transform into stormy afternoons. You play with our emotions, casting rainbows and shadows in equal measure. One moment, you gift us with gentle breezes and clear skies, and the next, you unleash powerful gusts and torrential downpours.
It's as if you have an intricate tapestry of moods woven into your very essence. We can prepare and plan, but in the end, it is you, unpredictable weather, who holds the ultimate power, reminding us of the beauty and chaos that lies within the natural world.

Lyrics written by Michael J Maione - Copyright 2023
True - A Social Media Song Parody
(Verse 1)
So true, funny how it seems.
You think you are fine – but your privacy is deceived.
Our lives are for sale – that much we know.
This is the sound, of me saying no – this is the sound!
(Pre-Chorus)
In the realm of social media's glare.
We're losing control - it's not fair.
Our secrets are exposed - our walls broken down.
It's time to rise up - n' turn this around!
(Chorus)
Start using True.
Start using the application called True.
(Verse 2)
Scrolling through feeds - can't escape the noise.
Every click, every post - it's a digital ploy.
We're trapped in a web - of constant surveillance.
Our personal lives - losing rellavance.
This doesn’t make sense!
(Pre-Chorus)
In this age of algorithms and likes.
We're losing touch - it's time to take flight.
Break the chains - let's refine the rules.
Our privacy matters - we're nobody's fools!
(Chorus)
Start using True.
Start using the application called True.

On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 56), we touch on the life and music of the late, great Donna Summer. Donna Summer was a singer-songwriter who became the "Queen of Disco" in the 1970s with such hits as "Love to Love You Baby," "I Feel Love" and "Last Dance."
Donna Summer was born Donna Adrian Gaines on December 31, 1948, in Boston, Massachusetts. Her father, Andrew Gaines, was a butcher and her mother, Mary Gaines, was a schoolteacher. From nearly the moment she learned how to talk, Donna sang ceaselessly. "From the time she was little, that's all she really did," her mother recalled. "She literally lived to sing ... She used to go through the house singing, singing. She sang for breakfast and for lunch and for supper."

Welcome to MICRO BREAK Season 2! On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 41), we go back, way back to the beginning of time! Well, not really. We just go back to the beginning of time-keeping to try and understand how the 24 hours in a day even got its start! We always say, time goes so fast, or time is moving so slow, but guess what, time always moves at the same speed! Now listen and find out why! Please remember to subscribe.

Welcome to MICRO BREAK Season 2! On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 40), I am delighted, and somewhat afraid, to have the host of the Listen! Listen! Listen! podcast, Curtis Elton on the show. Speaking non-stop in each episode, you'd think he'd actually say something valuable. WRONG! The show has NO THEME...NO USEFUL INFORMATION...NO, NOT THAT EITHER!
What it does have is funny, completely random and crazy non-stop talking lasting only a couple of minutes per episode.

Welcome to MICRO BREAK Season 2! On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 35), we break down in 15 steps, what might define a miserable person. The definition of a miserable person is wretchedly unhappy or uncomfortable. That is pretty spot on, don’t you think?
When a person is miserable, they never see or expect the good in anything and always try to make those around them feel just as bad and negative as them. Being miserable is a way of life for some people, because they get sympathy, constant reassurance from other miserable people and a sense of self, defined by whatever circumstance they find themselves in.

Welcome to MICRO BREAK Season 2! On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 29), we go back to the '80s – a time when computers and pop culture collided. Music in the 1980s was all about image and with the advent and popularity of MTV, the images that accompanied artists became more important than ever. When it came to music during the decade, nothing was understated, not the sound, not the fashion, not even the charity. The 1980s reflected the beginning of a period of great income disparity and a focus on affluence was reflected in the music. There were also several new genres that popped up including, Hip Hop, New Wave and Hair Metal, all of which have influenced music today. This is an episode that should not be passed up!

On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 14), I talk about about my home office organization project and also read from an article published on additudemag.com by Susan Pinsky, ADHD Professional Organizer. Just remember the 3 Rs.
- Reduce what you have. It's the most direct path to efficient organizing.
- Be resourceful. When you have less, you find more creative ways to use your belongings.
- Be resilient. If you find you don't have something you need, don't get bent out of shape or rush out to buy more.

On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 11), I talk about getting older and how people react to aging. Some in very positive way, and others, no so much. I also talk about how I react since I will be celebrating yet another year older on October 4!
What defines an “old” person? As it turns out, the answer varies depending on your age. If you’re under 30, studies show you’re likely to say old age begins at 60. If you’re in your 40s and 50s, you might say 70. If you are 60 or 70, your definition of “old” might be 74 or above. Turns out we tend to feel younger the older we get-many people in their 80s report feeling 70. - Credit: The Future of Getting Old: Rethinking Old Age - Wired.com

Written by John and Michael (Around 1989) * Woodstock 94 on Wikipedia
Woodstock '94 was an American music festival held in 1994 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival of 1969.[1][2] It was promoted as "2 More Days of Peace and Music". The poster used to promote the first concert was revised to feature two doves perched on the neck of an electric guitar, instead of the original acoustic one.
The 1994 concert was scheduled for the weekend of August 13–14,[3] with a third day (Friday, August 12) added later. Tickets to the festival cost $135 each.[4] The weather was hot and dry on Friday but by early Saturday afternoon the storms rolled in. The rains turned much of the field into mud.[1][2]
The event took place on Winston Farm, just west of Saugerties, New York, about 100 miles (160 km) north of New York City and 70 miles (110 km) northeast of the original 1969 festival site near Bethel, which had 12,000 on hand to celebrate the silver anniversary.[5]
Though only 164,000 tickets were sold,[6] the crowd at Woodstock '94 was estimated at 550,000.[7] The size of the crowd was larger than concert organizers had planned for and by the second night many of the event policies were logistically unenforceable. The major issues related to security, when attendees arrived, left or returned to the site, and the official concert food-beverage-vendor policy initially restricting attendees from entering with supplies of food, drinks and above all, alcohol. With the concert site mostly enclosed by simple chain link fences, there was hardly any difficulty for many attendees to enter freely with beer and other banned items. The security staff, along with the entrance and exit staff, could not continue reasonable monitoring of the increasing number of people entering, and exiting, while at the same time maintaining safety, security and a peaceful atmosphere.

You are my friend
You are special
You are my friend
You're special to me.
You are the only one like you.
Like you, my friend, I like you.
In the daytime
In the nighttime
Any time that you feel's the right time
For a friendship with me, you see
F-R-I-E-N-D special
You are my friend
You're special to me.
There's only one in this wonderful world
You are special.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of. In this episode, I explore the meaning behind the 1965 hit performed by Jackie DeShannon and written by the legendary Hal David and musical composer Burt Bacharach.

What the World Needs Now Is Love" is a 1965 popular song with lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach. First recorded and made popular by Jackie DeShannon, it was released on April 15, 1965, on the Imperial label after a release on sister label Liberty records the previous month was canceled. It peaked at number seven on the US Hot 100 in July of that year. In Canada, the song reached number one.
In this final episode of the mini series that has no title, I talk a little bit about the lack of technology when a tropical storm swoops in to your neighborhood and knocks out your power for more than a day.
