For a week now, there's been a YouTube short video at the top of the list claiming a robot beat a human at ping-pong. I've seen a few robot videos over the years and thought it was a fake. Checking the shadows as they weren't 100% and I thought the movements were too fluid... like a Hollywood movie.

Computer Generated Imagery CGI was my first guess, but I didn't have any proof.

Here's the YouTube short:


A little research and I came up with this:

Nature Moods - Vol. III

One of my neighbors has a bumper sticker that reads: Pickleball Let's Play. A few times a month I see a news link with claims that Pickleball is becoming the fastest growing sport.
If you don't know the game, it's a cross between tennis and ping-pong. The court is smaller than tennis, the racquets/paddles are larger than ping-pong. Often played as a doubles game. It gives the quick reaction to a familiar sport with less injury than conventional tennis.



Drew Brees vs. John McEnroe

I haven't seen John McEnroe in years. He's 64 years old now and looks terrible!!

Could be FBI , CIA testing

People have a lot of different opinions about the events of January 6th, 2021 at The Capitol in Washington DC. But who better to give an insider perspective than the person who was the Chief of Capitol Police at the time? I highly recommend watching this interview. We still have not got the full truth from January 6th and what happened around it. The January 6th Committee commissioned by Democrats deemed various questions and people off limits. Watch, share, and never stop being curious.

You can watch the interview on Twitter or on Rumble

Oprah lost 40 pounds... again. I was in college and recall Oprah coming back from hiatus. The first show of the new season had her wheeling out a toy wagon with a big chunk of blubber on it to represent the weight loss she had in the off season.
That was in the 1970's and considered a really big thing. They didn't talk much about her dietitians and fitness team working her thighs 10 hours a day, forcing her to do what she couldn't do alone.
So here is is some 50 years later and it's become a top story that Oprah lost 40 pounds. Again... and her fans react: ‘I Can’t Get Over How Amazing She Looks’

I can't get over how she blimped and lost, blimped and lost, blimped and lost at least 10 times in those 50 years.
Obviously, she hasn't learned the secret of losing and keeping it off.

Nature Moods - Vol. I

As long as I can remember, I've had a fascination for helicopters. Probably because we lived a few miles from the US Coast Guard airport and a few times an hour, helicopters would pass over my house to and from Miami Beach where they patrolled.

Airwolf was a TV series in the 1980's about an advanced prototype supersonic helicopter with stealth capabilities. I watched the show for the flight sequences... not for the actual plot or mediocre acting.

The aircraft actually exists (without the technology) for TV filming purpose.



Many of the stunt scenes were done with radio controlled models, and not full size aircraft.



Notice, the 2 black objects as part of the rotor head were needed as stability in the models.

Before the time of Capt. Kirk,, back when Capt. Pike commanded the Enterprise, something went wrong on a quantum level while the Enterprise was experimenting with a sub space anomaly.

The result was in my opinion one of the most enjoyable episodes of Star Trek I have watched (and I have seen a lot of them). The plot is strangely reminiscent of the Buffy the Vampire Hunter episode when the slayer's sister shoplifts a magical ornament that forces people to sing and dance. The two are so similar that Annaka's fear of bunny rabbits is echoed with variation in the Star Trek episode.

In this segment a young Lt. Spock (who still trying to master his human emotions and has a romantic entanglement (for several episodes) with Nurse Chapel and is blind sided when she gets accepted to a far away Fellowship and accepts it without telling him she is about to leave. When he learns of it he asks her why, in the 10 Forward Lounge and due to the quantum distortionshe tells him in heartless song why she is dumping him and leaving.
