MWGIC Episode 000126: The Celestial Ring

Dan tries his hand at making an AI-generated video - on a platform he's never seen until five minutes before making this video. Grand concepts. High hopes...literally high up in the sky hopes. How does it go? What's the grand idea? Will it blow your mind, will it bore your mind, or will it do both in some spasmodic ensemble of limit-defying geek wizardry? The concept is literally out of this world, but will the video actually fly?  

You be the judge.

MWGIC Episode - 000123 - A Google Survival Guide:

In the face of the US DOJ threatening Google (Alphabet) with selling off Chrome, and possibly even Android, I have some ideas that Google really, really might want to consider. Also - what the DOJ is trying to do is not just going to be tough on Google. It will be tough on certain other browsers, too, and bad for millions of users of Google's services. See if you think what I'm saying makes sense here.
