In Which November 2026 is welcomed with Christmas and more Artificial Intelligence Thoughts!

Good morning, my friend, cordial reader of this present post! Happy Sunday, and happy November!! The month building up to the best of the year! We are closer to the end of a deeply chaotic one, speaking of which, closer than not. 2025 was quite eventful, but 2026 makes 2025 looks as tepid as 2015 in comparison. As the Christmas part of the year unfolds, more and more breathe relieved, though the perspectives for 2027 are nebulous at best. October was a huge pile of anxiety. The glee of the first half of the month, where I live, turned to immense dread and resentment after the election results in Brazil. The events of such horrendous circumstance are still unfolding. I wrote it was as if the end of the Soviet Union... my more pessimistic side thinks it is more akeen to the Hungarian Spring, though. Perhaps, as Poland, we will have a anticommunist upheaval now, and reap the good rewards later. Perhaps we will have a moment of chaos before it implodes, like with the Soviet Union... the ca...

In Which I try to sell my old Phone

Hello everyone! Good morning and happy Wednesday! It is the middle of the week, and so we'll keep on going one step at a time! At least it is something I'd recommend anyone do. How have you been? Wish you the best, and hope your day may be a nice one. As for me, I'm just unmotivated, because I have put my cellphone to sell this Saturday, and so far I haven't heard much on it. I also put my old broken laptop for sale and it was a very quick business, many people were interested in it, and I sold it very fast. Not with my phone, apparently.


This is the iPhone in question, by the way. The screen is a bit shattered, but well, it gives me many happy moments, and well... maybe someone needs one. I was gonna post the link for the sale, but since it's more on the Brazilian side, specially on my region, and I write having the northern American-UK public in mind...  It would be of no use, plus the site is in portuguese.

I'm trying to sell some stuff because I'd love a new iPhone, or at least newer than the one I have at the moment, which is an iPhone SE 1st gen. that I got Christmas 2017! It was a huge improvement over my old phone, but now, almost 5 years later, time to move on. Ideally, I'd love an iPhone 11, either purple or green, because those colors are charming. I most likely would have to downgrade the memory usage a little, going for one with 64GB instead of my current 128, but that' fine, something I'd be willing to do, I just would love a newer machine is all, and I'd love to stick with Apple as well, as I'm very fond of their beautiful products. It's a very old love affair I have with the company, one that started with my iPod and me reading the Steve Jobs biography. I devoured the book! Also, it brings me to some happy moments of my later childhood-early teens, when me and my best friends would bond in our love towards iPhones and iPods and so on. It were the heydays of Apple, those early 2010 days, tragically Steve passed away in 2011. Almost 10 years later, I still love Apple and I'm glad to own an iPhone, though an older model, and like I said, would love to own a newer one, though it is kinda expensive, I know. Apple does not reign supreme anymore, many have switched or decided to pick up another brand, some are as passionate about the others as I am for Apple, and phones are deemed as a "controversial topic" in many places, specially their OS. I still stick with them though, I understand the more expensive pricing, though I can't afford it easily. Notice that I haven't expressed any negative thoughts on the other brands and OS's, and I don't want to do it, because that's not the point of this ramble, I just want to express myself on what I like and prefer is all, there is no reason on being mean towards others.

Well, I tried doing that with my laptop, it didn't go too well, but like mom says, I already got the "nay", and some very generous friends even decided to give towards the goal. If you'd like to help me get a new phone, you could donate towards my PayPal at PayPal donation link. Needless to say this is never required, but well, It would be of great help, and I'd be thankful! Maybe I could bring my streams back to raise something as well? Though I doubt it would go anywhere, really. I don't wanna get more frustrated than I already am. BUT well... thank you everyone, no matter what you decide to do, just by being here on this blog, means a lot! Wish you the best as always, and I see you next time, real real soon, hopefully in a more uplifting mood!
