The Money Cycle
As children, we all look at the shiny new toys and beg Mom and Dad and the grandparents for said toys with all the cakes and candies on top. At the time, we are either the happiest in the world because we get what we want, or we are angry because we got nothing. Little do we know that something like a toy is minor to what is to come.

GenXr Review on Internet Websites
I remember my first email was [email protected] and I got it during a computer class I was taking at Junior College. I was still typing my essays on a word processer. (I didn't have a cellphone or a laptop.) I got my first E-machines computer after I transfered from Junior College to the University -- during the time when "The Matrix" movie was gaining popularity. I had dial-up service with AOL and the first social media type of platform was a college version of Facebook because most of us online were doing our chatting through AOL chatboxes. I've had many computers since that first E-machine, and many servers since AOL, and I've seen lots and lots of new websites. I've watched how powerful computer technology has been in regards to shaping our communities, our politics, our economy, and our futures. Those who choose to unplug or go off-grid, I don't blame them for that choice. I understand completely why the soul needs to recharge with a nice road trip or camping trip or just retiring in a log cabin up in the mountains without the beep boop bops and other technical headaches.

AI Book Covers
This is the cover for the Teardrop Edition audiobook for my novel, If I Tie U Down. One morning, I woke up with this brilliant idea. I decided that I should have two editions for all my books. The first edition is the first edition. It has been made with a cover that I paid for. Usually, it's from at least one artist. Sometimes, I have an artist for the background and another artist for the foreground. Sometimes, it's AI, but it's an expensive AI generation that I paid for on an individual basis. But on this one morning, I woke up and decided that I was going to list my first edition books for $1.99 for an ebook. and $2.99 for an audiobook. The Teardrop Editions would be free (or as free as I could make them) and the cover images would be generated with Canva AI.
