While my favorite song about stalking is ‘One Way or Another’ by Blondie, most people cite the Police’s ‘Every Breath You Take’ as the best song about the shadowy pursuit of unrequited love. Singer Sting croons, “Every breath you take and every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, I’ll be […]
When I was in 8th grade, the Beastie Boys released their vanguard album, “Licensed to Ill.” It became the first rap album to top the Billboard 200 chart and was the second to be certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 2015, it was certified Diamond after selling over ten million […]
My senior year of high school, we had a great basketball season – we won the conference and made it to the State Tournament in Madison. While it was a dream season, it ended in heartbreak after a last second prayer shot by Wilmot, who went on to win the championship. Of all the teams […]
My wife is constantly freezing. We go for walks in the morning, and I will have on a sweatshirt and shorts, while she is decked out in her winter coat and snowpants. That’s why I was a bit concerned when, lately, she’s been throwing the covers over me at night. She claims to be waking […]
When I meet with clients to discuss estate planning, I always explain that the documentation that we help put together for them does not override any previously designated beneficiaries on things like life insurance or retirement plans. Named beneficiaries trump any will or trust documents we put together. Unfortunately, Jeffrey Rolison’s family has learned this […]
When I was in high school, my buddies and I went to see Kiss in concert at the Brown County Arena. We got there early, so we landed terrific seats in the first row of seating off the floor. Because we were early, we watched all the other concertgoers roll in. Many of them were […]
One of my favorite ‘80s movies is ‘Coming to America.’ The film stars Eddie Murphy as Akeem, Prince of the prosperous African kingdom of Zamunda. Instead of going through with his arranged marriage, he elects to travel to Queens, New York, to fall in love and marry someone of his choosing. To prevent women from […]
Last week I wrote about actress Scarlett Johansson’s concerns over OpenAI’s unauthorized use of her voice for their artificial intelligence software. She is not alone in her plight. Voice actors Paul Skye Lehrman and Linnea Sage are suing AI firm Lovo for allegedly commissioning them for voice projects under false pretenses to create and sell […]
I saw a hilarious video online the other day of Morgan Freeman purportedly narrating everyday people’s lives. While the voiceover was very good, you could definitely tell it’s an impersonation. With Artificial Intelligence these days, however, it’s getting harder and harder to spot a fake. Actress Scarlett Johansson voiced the title character in the film […]
A few years ago, my family was invited to a wedding. Instead of going to a banquet hall for the reception, however, we went to a barn. It was a cool day in May, so all the women in my family were freezing, and it only got worse as the night went on. Despite the […]
