Welcome to the latest edition of the Meerkat Muse! Facebook Fails We begin with the events of two weeks ago, when the world briefly melted down due to an outage of Meta’s various social media platforms. I wish I could say that I was immune to this, but my initial reaction was I’d been hacked, […]
To answer the question, no, I do not have any piercings. My wife considers piercings to be very sexy, but I am not brave enough to get one done! To be fair, at one point I’d have never considered tattoos, and now have several, but a piercing – especially of say, a nipple, or the […]
A few times now, I have placed prompts and ideas into AI art generators. The results come from an app called Imagine, and via Bing. Personally, I think Bing is slightly better, but both apps/sites have served up some colourful and creative interpretations of the suggested prompts. Yes, I am going to show you what […]

I also get annoyed on behalf of tattoo artists, who are among some of the most highly-skilled individuals I have ever met. One of the arguments against them is […]
Describe one of your favorite moments. One of my all-time favourite experiences is one that happened twice! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back, in 2004, on my birthday no less, my future wife and I (at this point, still within our first year of dating) had a weekend in London. This featured a somewhat chaotic experience with hotels mixing […]
We’re back! What’s been goin’ on over the last couple of weeks? It’s Local Election Day! On the 4th of May, voters in the UK took to the polls in local elections. These don’t usually have a seismic impact on the political landscape, but they can be an opportunity for the people to send a […]
