Each month we publish a newsletter listing the contents of the current giraffe.com with links to each section.
The newsletter is sent to a select group who have asked to be included. If you would like to receive it the day of publication,
simply email me at giraffe@giraffe.com. For those of you who do not get the newsletter immediately, here is a copy. Note: Any
product or link that I recommend is here because I have personally found it to be helpful. I receive no recompense of any kind,
but I suspect you already knew that.
This list is never sold, married, hypothecated, or otherwise shared with anyone, anytime. Like all of Digital Giraffe, it is free, ad-free,
and welcomes visitors from all nations.
To the Friends of Giraffe
Our Radishberries issue, featuring the sharp and sweet, yin and yang, the everythingness of life. We begin with our cover image, "The Land Where Truth and Fiction Collide".
Upcoming Events
Ars Mathematica will present Intersculpt 2025 in the prestigious setting of the Chateau de Courcelles in Metz, a suburb of Lorraine, France. Included will be our AI sculpture.
Our Electronic Quill article this month is titled "Grumptious and Corruptious". We look at the never-before seen, the negative query, and the possibility that we could be wiped out of history. We also tip our hat to Jimmy Buffett.
Our section called "Other Voices" includes eMusings, yNot, Site of the Month, !Brazen Hussy, and Just Desserts.
eMusings: The AI train has left the station, on its perilous way to an unidentified destination. Here are a few of the more informative links:
Get ready for a self-driving golf caddy; Flynn the art student, Flynn the generative AI; the advantages of AI scientist teams; a new AI patch that helps heal hearts after an attack; China's superior electricity power centers; OpenAI's GPT-5 model's inauspicious launch; a humanoid robot eats a hot dog and tries on shoes; AI models send malicious messages to each other; Microsoft's CEO sees "a massive wave of AI psychosis"; teaching AI to be bad so it can be good; the world's first retail robot store in Beijing; AI gaming algorithms ask if they are real?; AI models create their own lingo; teaching AI a sense of guilt; highly private ChatGPT conversations can in fact be seen by the public; The Godfather of AI wants to teach "maternal instincts" to algorithms; a robot grows by eating other robots; a robot delivers food and water to people in VR and mixed reality environments.
Now on to other eMusings items:
Cao Scuyl's video and sculpture installations, described as "portals to meditate geotrauma, transcorporeal ecology and prehistoric futurity"; James Bidgood leads us through the underground gay scene in 1960's New York; Ian Ross transforms empty spray cans into sculpture and murals; Jeffrey Gibson creates joyful works celebrating indigenous identity; a surreal White Temple rises like a shimmering fantasy in Thailand; haunted portraits by Jess Valice; architecture of mini cities, stadiums, and parks 3D printed.
Remember that earlier eMusings and electronic quill articles are archived online for you.
yNot: Our Woman of the Month award for September goes to Alice Walton, founder of a new medical school based on whole body wellness.(Thanks to YA for this)
Don't forget that our outstanding persons are permanently archived on their own page.
More in Ynot: the first female umpire to referee a Major League baseball game during the regular season; women bear the brunt of new trade tariffs; shackled ankles at home and a barbed-wire dreaded mental health center for women in Kabul, Afghanistan; do male nurses earn more than female nurses, and if so why?; a magazine featuring the achievements of women in ocean and marine sciences; the program separating immigrant children from their parents is intensifying in the U.S.; the Getty Museum writes about the woman who painted Marie Antoinette's portrait; Girls in Ocean Science at the Santa Barbara, California, Maritime Museum; sensitivity to chemical smells is officially recognized by the medical establishment; Chanel inaugurates an annual residency for women artists.
Giraffe's Site of the Month - 2 contrasting and excellent viewing choices: enticing steet art murals by Gina Kiel; and The Future Sketches group uses technology in unexpected ways.
!Brazen Hussy - "Erotic City", curated by Martha Edelheit
New Digital Paintings - More otherwordly creatures We begin with "Snickerdoodles", asking how to deal with a cockeyed world. (answer: take a tablespoon of chuckles and a bowl of disbelief.) Also "Soul Mates", "Body Building", "Match Made in Heaven", and "Herky Jerky".
New Blobs - In case you missed it, "Hitch a Ride Hail a Cab", is now available on our front page.
In 3D print news: 3D printed robots powered by compressed gas rather than electronics; 3D printed self-healing bioelectronic and biosensing gloves; new 3D printed tennis balls; personalized therapeutic methodologies for cancer care; 5,000 pounds of supplies go to the International Space Station; the world's first 3D printed titanium watch; NASA makes a new 3D printed alloy that is super heat-resistant and durable; a 3D printed transparent wood is stronger than glass and can change color; the world's first 3D printed hotel; "skin in a syringe" heals wounds without scarring; a magnetic robot dissolves kidney stones; using sunlight to turn seawater into clean drinking water; an injectible bioactive healing gel boosts blood vessel formation without using chemicals.
Wit and Wisdom from our archives: This month: "The Most Terrible Wigglish"
Diversions for Difficult Times:
"Divorce Attorney Shin", on Netflix. From its humble beginning with a solo lawyer/concert pianist to an emotional crest, this limited series takes you on an absorbing ride. You will find lots of humor, excellent acting, and an emphasis on abiding friendship and family love. 13 episodes, well worth your time.
Maybe it is time to write a consumer manifesto: the next time some one or some company is rude to you, ask for their credit card number because you charge by the hour for your time.
Don't forget that we have designed a limited number of pure silk scarves, measuring 36" square and custom fabricated in Canada.
165 million years ago, a dinosaur with long spikes poking out from its neck roamed the earth. It was called the "Punk Rocker" of its time. Could anything I design be more startling than what nature has already come up with?
Warm regards from your Friend, the Giraffe
