Mike’s Victorian Trivia: A popular Victorian pseudoscience was phrenology (using cranial shape to predict mental abilities). Allan Pinkerton (creator of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, and the Secret Service), was a phrenologist. Mark Twain said a phrenologist once visited his town, leaving it “duller and drearier than ever.”
I recently tried Day One for journaling which I liked but had some issues with. But it did lead me to think about the connection/process of private journaling and blogging as well as a few new app options.
From iAWriter to Notebooks and Apple Notes, finding the ideal app mix for blogging and journaling.
Late edit: Thanks to @devondundee l'm also looking at Everlog as an option.
Check out my interview with the Bookshelf Cafe news, where I talk about #writing, Bleak Waters, Badlands and what I’d say to my characters if I ever met them!
Some things might get clearer, and some things might hurt.
There's a lot of shame involved as well; i'm raised with shame, and still being shamed by many - even in the non-communication towards me is their shaming of me, and it comes from several angles.
This makes a heavy shame-load upon my shoulders, and i don't want to bear it. Writing might unload it, i don't know (yet).
It's no surprise that this month as been hard on me and my family, but recently I've noticed my friends and colleagues are having a challenging time too. So what gives?
Not all countries are handling A.I. copyright the same way; this is only a resource for how the U.S. Copyright Office is currently handling, and is subject to change as further cases and laws are resolved and enacted.
The U.S. has a human authorship requirement for copyright eligibility--prior rulings included that "divine revelations" could not be protected by copyright and neither could a photograph taken by a monkey.
Given the current state of generative A.I., US Copyright Office guidance states that anything generated by A.I. machines alone is ineligible for copyright protection.
Copyright protection only extends to those sufficiently creative, human-authored elements such as selection and compilation of text and A.I.-generated images or the edited elements of A.I.-generated images.
Creators must disclose which portions of a work were generated by A.I. and which portions were human-authored when applying for copyright registration--or else risk voiding the registration.
